O capital no deserto: a soja, as vacas e o dinheiro no Oeste baiano

Abstract

Along this thesis, I analyze through the experiences of laborer men working in the soya farms, the development of the agroindustry of soya beans in the west of Bahía. I made an analysis of the soya beans production process through these experiences to understand how they express inside what is called as rural laborer. In this way it will let us know the way the capitalism produces different human experiences. In this process, I will reflect on the sense that temporality acquires through the different “time” notions described in this context. Finally, I will show different domination and resistance forms that grow up along this context. Throughout the text I have the aim of showing up the social reality that has been grown up inside a particular culture and economic situation. The soya beans production is been done mainly for the production of feed for industrialized cattle, becoming them in an essential part of the worldwide massive meat production.
