DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF THE AUTHORS/ACTORS FROM THE NHECOLÂNDIA PANTANAL

ABSTRACT The inclusion of the analysis of feelings in the environmental approach reflects the different views regarding the landscape of a Territory. Thus, with a methodology based on semi-directed interviews, applied to the pantaneiros, inhabitants of the Pantanal for over twenty years, this study aimed, through discourse analysis, to understand the interactions between the authors/actors of the Pantanal landscape and nature, especially with the elements that make up the landscape of the Pantanal of Nhecolândia. The results showed a proximity, awareness and intimate relationship in view of the environmental importance of the area and the elements of the landscape, as well as detecting signs of a relationship leading to the prominence of a cultural conflict between pantaneiros and the new landowners in the Pantanal of Nhecolândia.
