Descripción
This paper aims to understand territorial reconfigurations triggered in the
Brazilian countryside from the early 2000s due to the expansion of monocultures of
sugarcane for the agrofuels’ production. For this, it uses a theoretical approach that considers
the existence of environmental and territorial conflicts associated with the operative logic
of capitalist exploitation, and seeks to elucidate the presence of hegemonic speeches aimed
to become invisible distinct and non-dominant modes of use and ownership of natural
resources. The construction of the argument will use concepts considered obsolete by the
academic doxa, such as imperialism, dependency, and primitive accumulation. Moreover, inspired by the contributions of Latin American intellectuals agglutinated in the so-called paradigm modernity-coloniality, the article will propose that the asymmetric ownership of natural resources has been part of a condition
of coloniality in the appropriation of nature.
