Para tanto, baseia-se em desdobramentos te?rico-metodol?gicos advindos Teoria Ator-Rede de Bruno Latour; perspectiva engajada no entendimento e problematiza??o da Ci?ncia, Estado e ag?ncias n?o-humanas. Os dados apresentados num primeiro momento s?o produtos de an?lise de documentos de governo, processos jur?dicos, relat?rios t?cnicos e etc., para fins de compreens?o dos lugares que as controv?rsias cient?ficas ocupam junto dos conflitos jur?dico-normativos que outorgam as obras da transposi??o. No segundo momento, s?o dados constru?dos por trabalho de campo junto dos cientistas que resgatam e monitoram as plantas da caatinga degradada pela transposi??o. J? que a imers?o nos documentos possibilita acompanhar uma rede sociot?cnica onde ci?ncia ? historicamente vinculada ? pol?tica por responderem objetivamente a uma demanda desenvolvimentista, o trabalho de campo mostra as pr?ticas que possibilitam ver como a ci?ncia ? uma ?pol?tica em a??o?. Estas duas posturas metodol?gicas s?o necess?rias para compreender que tipo de conhecimentos, agentes, discursos e ideais s?o mobilizados a fim de que as plantas da caatinga dialoguem com as pol?ticas estatais e legitimem, assim, uma interven??o que muda parte do curso das ?guas do maior rio brasileiro. A ideia ? mostrar, portanto, como a produ??o cient?fica inscreve a caatinga sob aspectos reconhec?veis pelo Estado e como acompanhar essa inscri??o permite clarear uma forma espec?fica de ?gest?o da natureza?. / This dissertation originates from an ethnography of scientific activities at the S?o Francisco River transposition. Therefore, it is based on the theoretical-methodological processes coming from Bruno Latour?s Actor-Network Theory; a perspective engaged in the understanding and problematization of Science, State and non-human agencies. The data presented at first, is a product of the analysis of government documents, legal processes, technical reports and etc., in order to comprehend the places in which scientific controversies stand together with legal-normative conflicts that grant resources to the transposition. In a second moment, the data was built by fieldwork together with the scientists that rescue and monitor the caatinga plants degraded by the transposition. Since the immersion at documents enables the following of a socio-technical network in which science is historically linked to politics by answering directly to a developmental demand, the fieldwork shows the practices that make possible to see how science is a ?policy in action?. Both of these methodological approaches are necessary to understand what kinds of knowledges, agents, discourses and ideals are mobilized in order for the caatinga plants to dialogue with state policies and legitimize, thus, an intervention that changes a portion of the flow of the waters of the biggest Brazilian river. Therefore, the idea is to show how scientific production registers the caatinga under recognizable aspects by the State and how following such register allows to clarify a very specific form of ?nature management?
