CAISSO, Lucía. Rural schools, teachers and spraying with agrochemicals. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2022, n.55, pp.69-84.  Epub 05-Mayo-2022. ISSN 1850-275X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/cas.i55.10237.

This work re-examines field material previously analyzed within the framework of research on rural teachers and spraying with agrochemicals. This new analysis seeks to broaden the conclusion that had been reached in the first instance, according to which social silence predominated around the problem of fumigations in rural educational institutions of the humid pampas. The new analysis, which focuses on rather marginal elements of these field materials, allows us to maintain that it is possible to document both social silence and the meanings and teaching practices that are the object of silencing. These meanings and practices are understood as subjects’ daily resistances to the theme: these resistances condense a critical politicity around the environment that unfolds in rural contexts and take on particular forms.

Palabras clave : Social anthropology; Rural schools; Teachers; Agrochemicals; Environment.
