Abstract
The biotechnology is the main support of changes in agrarian production, since they started in the '90s. These innovations (that hover around a package composed by genetically modified seeds, agrotoxics and direct seeding) not only generated an increase in harvest and exportation of agrarian products, but determined a new model of production, that in these thesis we called Biotechnological Agrarian Modelo (BAM). This concept allows to see the singularities of the capital accumulation process, in which the agrarian structure links with an specific production of knowledge, controlled by the transnational corporations.
In this work, we will see the role of knowledge within the production of value, in the capital accumulation, asking for the role of state in the emplacement of knowledge as a production invigorating. In this way, based on Argentina experience, this thesis analizes how the spheres of sciencie, market and politic configure, interact, produce and reproduce themselves, creating a new institutionality.
To do that, in this work we rebuild the history of the Nacional Comission of Agrarian Biotechnology (CONABIA, for its acronym in Spanish) and the regulatory frame of biosafety in Argentina. This history will enlighten how the institutional frame was configured and which kind of relations are overlapping in the definition of the legal frame to promote and consolidate the expansion of the new agrarian model. Moreover, the particular composition of this Comission and the specific configuration of this legal frame allow us to pay singular attention to the place that the production of knowledge has within the sphere of state, and which kind of logics are crystallized in this sphere.
From the critical theory perspective, this thesis organizes looking for fulfill two main objectives. The first one is to understand the role of state in the implementation and regulation of the biotechnological agrarian model, looking at changes in state structure in the last decades. The second one is to anallize how the production of knowledge -in an increasing process of commodification- participates in the construction of power relations and in the legitimation of the agrarian model in Argentina. Thus, it is observed how the scientific knowledge adopts certain dynamics in production of state policies, while it reconfigures and prints specificities in the institutional structure. To do that we see the time period from the creation of the CONABIA, in 1991, to 2010, when started a phase of normative revision of the GM regulation.
