Abstract:

In Colombia, agribusiness argues that plague control is necessary for feeding the world population, thus establishing a new mode of production that uses pesticides. Nevertheless, impacts in health because of these products don\'t exist in them aseptic function’s speeches. This investigation used Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) for characterizing and analyzing the mode of production and work’s discourse that stimulated the pesticide exposition and impacts on health in families located in rural zones at Usme and Sumapaz, Colombia. For that purpose, they used different techniques for qualitative data collection: participant observation technique, semistructured interview and documental investigation. The discourse shows the interaction between structural forms that define the reality’s constructionpurports that transform the rural subject, constructed by the agribusiness and the pesticide use an institutional symbolic violence. This discursive relationship imposes a daily life that normalizes the exposure to pesticide and deeds on the community the responsibilities about the impacts on health of these toxic products.
