With regard to the discussions on the “Projeto de Lei” n. 6.299 /2002, the "agrotoxic PL", which deals with the commercialization and use of agrochemicals in the crops, we intend to shed light on the idea that the ballast that guarantees the effect of describing the real in the discourses of agribusiness lies in the network of memories of a recent latifundio-slave-owning colonial past over and under which we mean. Language, according to the theoretical-methodological perspective with which we work, the materialistic discourse analysis, is opaque, and conceals in its syntactic materiality conflicts, tensions and heterogeneities. When we look at the analyzes made of some discursive cuts regarding the PL discussions, we will see that agribusiness speaks for itself, at the same time that family agriculture is "talked about." We will also realize that the small farmer, a producer of food, not of commodities, resists in silence. Silence latent in the speeches founded under a pretended "logic" of maximum efficiency of the territories. Discourses that circulate and are meant under an effect of evidence conferred not only by a memory of violent possession of our territories, but also by the interdiction of other senses to the man-earth relationship.
