O tradicional no moderno: rupturas e continuidades na avicultura integrada no município de Anta Gorda/RS

Abstract

Agriculture modernization in Brazil has generated many social, economic and cultural transformations for farmers and society in general. In this context, the aviculture is in the vanguard, being one of the sectors most modernized and technified. In studies about the rural space there is a debate about the consequences of this definition for the field individuals. One group believes that the modernization has transformed the peasants into professional farmers and another group considers that peasants has manteined their identity and have modernized in order to adapting to the context. The aim of this work was identify which are the peasanty elements that remain existing in the social characterization of the poultry creators linked to Integration System in Anta Gorda/RS, despite his intense modernization. The analytical categories used for the analisys were the notions of rupture and continuity proposed by Wanderley (2003) and the concept of colono theorized by Tavares dos Santos (1978), Tedesco (1999) and Seyferth (1993). It was discussed, for this, the operation of integration system in the poultry and the complexities of the relationship integrated X agribusiness. The conclusions we arrived were that modernization has generated a set of breaks, among which stand the loss of autonomy typical of the peasantry, the increasing of individualism, the weakening of institutions like the church and the family and the farmer subordination of the industry. On the other hand, there is a set of characteristics that keep reproducing according to the tradition, even in the context of modernity: the centrality of the family as the nucleus structuring of work and behavior in general, the valuation of the community as an space for socialization, the use of venetian dialect and a language specific, the practice of filó, among others. It was seen, finally, that the colono incorporates the influences of modernity through its colono ethos and reified by their habitus. It was seen, finally, that the colono incorporates the influences of modernity from its colono ethos and reifies them according to his habitus.
