Abstract
NUNEZ ESPINOZA, Juan Felipe; NAVARRO GARZA, Hermilio and OLIVARES ROSAS, Nubia Mayte. Semantic Characterization of Regional Agroecology in Latin America. Región y sociedad [online]. 2022, vol.34, e1680. Epub June 01, 2023. ISSN 2448-4849. https://doi.org/10.22198/rys2022/34/1680.
Objectives: Analyze the emergence of the agroecology as agri-food glottopolitical narrative in Latin American. Methodology: a set of agroecology studies published between 2011 to 2018 was selected to deconstruct them with a lexicometric approach in order to distinguish conceptual superlatives by means of semantic clouds. Results: different agro-ecological semantic streams were obtained, at regional and country level, which showed the systemic complexity of Latin American agroecology. Limitations: more methodological tools are required to widen the semantic analysis. Value: the approach to the semantic complexity of Latin American agroecology using epistemological relationship is appropriate in these times in which agroecology emerges as part of the institutional narratives of the agri-food system global regulators. Conclusions: the agroecological semantic field is a contingencies area between a plethora of local, regional and global social actors which struggle among them to determine the sustainability narrative of the agri-food system, and therefore to influence the world’s bio-politics.
