The hegemonic economic model based on commodity extraction has subjected the people of the countryside and forests to processes of expropriation and violence in Brazil. The appropriation of common goods, the concentration of land, and agrochemical dependence, make unveiling the ideological-conceptual construction of agribusiness centered on economic indicators that are anchored in the maintenance of subsidies provided by a bourgeois state - which facilitates the commodity corporations' subsumption of land rent and life - essential. We analyzed the political-discursive strategies undertaken by agribusiness, identifying the hegemonic characteristics and unity of discourse as a conceptual site to persuade society. Finally, we assess the Bolsonaro administration's ongoing strategies to enable the appropriation of protected territories in provisioning expanded capital accumulation via agribusiness and mining.

Objective: to identify nurses' social representations about the relationship among prostitution, health and the Family Health Strategy. Method: qualitative study supported by the Theory of Social Representations, carried out with 12 nurses from the Family Health Strategy. Data collection used the Free Words Association technique and structured interviews. The data were organized using an association of the lexical content and the Collective Subject Discourse, presented in a figure and tables, analyzed in a descriptive and interpretative way. Results: the social representations of the nurses influence the actions and behaviors offered insofar as they are restricted to the sexual and reproductive sphere, to the detriment of the contextual aspects of everyday life, work and health. Conclusion: nurses' social representations link sexual practices to the risk of catching sexually transmitted infections and lacks the articulation of health promotion and the principle of integrality.

This article aims to broaden understanding of the phenomenon of legitimacy of civil society organizations (CSOs), interpreting it in the light of the critical capacity theory, proposed by Boltanski and Thévenot (2006). More specifically, it identifies, by means of discourse analysis of representative actors from the field, which are the justifications supporting the action and existence of CSOs, providing them with legitimacy. Having as a basis the theoretical framework and an analysis of the trajectory of the field in Brazil, some hypotheses were formulated: 1) that several reasonings are used in the justifications; 2) that the meeting between these reasonings provokes disputes and conflicts; 3) that it enables constructing footbridges; and 4) that there are predominant reasonings isolating the existence of other ones. Through discourse content analysis of 46 representative actors of the field of CSOs in the Brazilian South region, the hypotheses were tested and we found out that the predominant legitimacy dimensions in these CSOs are the pragmatic and moral, which stimulate the adaptation of CSOs to externally set standards, making plurality and, thus, democracy in the field weaker.
