Communication and aesthetics-ethics: the case of monoculture of sugarcane

Abstract

In this article, it is discussed around communication, aesthetics-ethics and sustainability as fields of knowledge and disciplines and brings them together in the monoculture of sugarcane, assumed as an aesthetic-environmental phenomenon. It proposes categorical statements with which he seeks to advance in the complex analysis of an agro-industrial reality sustained in a specific symbolic and cultural order, which goes beyond the limits of the indicated agricultural practice that should and can be looked at and analyzed from the perspective of environmental thinking complex. Also, it presents three sections transversely connected by the aesthetic, ethical, communicative and environmental dimensions. At first, it gives an account of what he means by communication and his disciplinary connections. In a second moment, alludes to the object of reflection: the monoculture of sugar cane. In a third stage, the topics of sustainability and aesthetics-ethics are addressed, to try to 'catch', with comprehensive aims, the monoculture of sugarcane.
