LITERARY-GEOGRAPHICAL SAYINGS

AGROECOLOGY IN CHRONICLES

Abstract

The discomfort that led us to the production of this article emerged from the bureaucratized character of most scientific texts, a legacy of a discursive tradition that, by claiming neutrality, compromised authorship. If, in Agroecology, he approximation between scientific knowledge and vernacular knowledge is requested, we see as important the oxygenation of academic writing in the direction of a "defossilization" of the text. From three chronicles about the agroecological movement, we illustrate the collective effort made by the research group "Space, Subject and Existence" (CNPQ), that for more than a decade has been searching the latent possibilities on the border between Geography and Literature, inviting to new literary-geographical sayings. We converge with Freire's presupposition (1987) that we must cultivate and disseminate words full of the world, words that call for new geographies-in-life-form (MARANDOLA JR, 2018). The chronicles shared here are addressed to diverse spaces and situations: classrooms, occupations and rural settlements, training courses, sarais, bars. We hope that readers, instead of collecting for themselves the words we offer here, will taste them slowly and sow them in other backyards.
