Expressões da subjetividade em uma Comunidade que Sustenta a Agricultura

ObjectiveThe article analyzed the subjective configuration of the action of organic food production at a Community that Sustains Agriculture.MethodThe research was based on the theory of subjectivity and constructive-interpretive methodology and its procedures included the construction of the social scenario and the use of instruments such as: sentence completion, conversational dynamics, field diary and visits.ResultsTwo comprehensive hypotheses were produced: (1) Affection, sensory experiences and need for survival motivate readjustments in the work process, generating new knowledge; and (2) Intercultural contradictions in production influence relationships of trust and solidary communication.ConclusionThe subjective configuration of the action of organic production in this community was constituted by singular productions of the subject throughout its history (affections, sensations, survival needs, desires for a better life), associated with contradictions and intercultural tensions, mobilizing more stable subjective senses, contributing to the persistence of the action of organic production.
