The Hunger Consensus in Brazil: the intrinsic relationship between commodities, logistics, and food insecurity
This article introduces the concept of the "Hunger Consensus" as an analytical proposition to understand the persistence of food insecurity in Brazil, even amidst record agricultural production. Therefore, the main objective in this paper is to analyze the intrinsic connection between the production, circulation, and consumption of food in Brazil, demonstrating how the prioritization of production for export and the logistical infrastructure geared toward agribusiness contribute to the structural maintenance of hunger. The methodological procedures consisted of bibliographic research and the collection of secondary data from IBGE, CONAB, and the Penssan Network. The results evidence that hunger is Hunger is framed as a political-ideological project in a country of plenty. The study elucidates how the hegemonic food system, controlled by large corporations, promotes food standardization and subordinates peasant farming to long marketing circuits. Ultimately, overcoming the Hunger Consensus requires the construction of emancipatory public policies that prioritize food sovereignty and the structural transformation of the Brazilian food system through short marketing circuits, aiming to minimize the effects of climate change on food production.

Indigenous Peoples from the Brazilian Cerrado: PAR, Territorial, Environmental and Sociocultural Sustainable Development
This paper stems from an ongoing research project that investigates the territorial, environmental and sociocultural conditions of the Indigenous Peoples inhabiting the Brazilian Cerrado. The Cerrado is the second largest biome in Brazil and one of the most degraded in recent decades, primarily due to the expansion of intensive grain monocultures, low-technology extensive cattle ranching and large-scale infrastructure and mining projects. According to data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the Cerrado encompasses approximately 216 Indigenous Lands and is home to more than 80 distinct Indigenous groups. The study seeks to analyze and highlight the sociocultural, territorial and environmental vulnerabilities faced daily by Indigenous communities in the Cerrado, whose territories and ways of life are continuously threatened by various forms of violence resulting from economic ventures. The methodological approach is both quantitative and qualitative, grounded in the Participatory Action Research (PAR) framework, which involves Indigenous participants as both subjects and researchers, thereby ensuring their autonomy in representing and interpreting the realities under study. The proposed outcomes include the development of a digital platform, the creation of thematic maps and the publication of a book, all aimed at enhancing visibility, strengthening territorial defense and fostering the sociocultural autonomy of the Indigenous Peoples from the Brazilian Cerrado. Keywords: Indigenous Peoples. Brazilian Cerrado. Territory. Sociobiodiversity. Participatory Action Research (PAR).
Between Exu and the Devil: The Discourse of “Occultist Umbanda” in Literature and the Continuity of Demonization
This study analyzes the construction of a discursive field that we term “Occultist Umbanda,” formed between the 1950s and 1980s by Umbanda intellectuals such as Aluízio Fontenelle, Teixeira Neto, and José Bittencourt. Influenced by European esoteric currents and the occultist literature of Eliphas Levi, these authors developed narratives that associated Exu with the Christian Devil, reinforcing a long-standing tradition of demonizing this entity that can be traced from colonial accounts to the earliest scholarly studies of Afro-Brazilian religions. Through an analysis of their works, we observe the systematization of demonological hierarchies and an effort to legitimize the presence of Exu and Pomba-gira in the rituals of Umbanda and Quimbanda. The study demonstrates how this discourse both sustained a negative imaginary surrounding Exu and introduced relativizations of the concepts of good and evil, interpreting the practice of evil as a means toward the realization of good. Ultimately, the article concludes that “Occultist Umbanda” does not correspond to a consolidated ritual practice in religious communities, but rather to an intellectual elaboration that illustrates the tensions between popular religiosity, European occultism, and the social conflicts surrounding Afro-Brazilian religions in Brazil.

Scale in Geographic Education: Research Overview
This article analyzes how the concept of scale has been addressed in Brazilian academic production in the field of Geographic Education, with emphasis on the notions of geographic scale and cartographic scale. Based on a bibliometric research approach, the study maps theses and dissertations available in the Capes Theses and Dissertations Catalog, considering works associated with the fields of Geography and Education, without a predefined temporal scope. The analysis shows that, despite the recognized importance of scale for the development of geographic thinking and reasoning, the number of studies that address it conceptually remains limited, with a greater concentration from the 2010s onward. The results indicate that scale is often treated in a technical or implicit manner in Geography teaching, particularly in textbooks and pedagogical practices, although several studies advocate its understanding as a fundamental analytical category for multiscalar and relational readings of reality. The article also highlights recurring challenges in initial and continuing teacher education, especially regarding the didactic mediation of the concept of scale and the articulation between cartographic and geographic dimensions. It concludes that strengthening research on scale in Geographic Education is essential to improve teaching-learning processes and to promote more contextualized and critical socio-spatial analyses.

Distopias da modernização: análise da relação entre sojicultura, economia municipal e gestão dos recursos hídricos em Iporá/Go, 2002 - 2024
A expansão da sojicultura nos municípios brasileiros é legitimada mediante a narrativa desenvolvimentista que traz a ideia de progresso e desenvolvimento socioterritorial. Considerando o recorte temporal entre 2002 e 2023, observa-se o crescimento significativo da sojicultura, representado pela produção e ocupação territorial. A expansão da sojicultura impacta de maneira modesta a economia municipal, como é possível observar através dos indicadores relacionados a emprego/renda e arrecadação de impostos. No período analisado, também é possível aferir a elevação da extrema pobreza e pobreza no município. A alteração da paisagem rural de Iporá/GO ocorre predominantemente a partir da substituição das áreas destinadas à pastagem em relação à agricultura. Além da reestruturação produtiva orientada pela sojicultura, ocorre no período estudado a redução dos índices pluviométricos, o que impacta diretamente as condições de abastecimento populacional. A análise do uso e ocupação do solo na Microbacia do Ribeirão Santo Antônio indica a intersecção entre a crise hídrica e a expansão da sojicultura no município. Dystopias of modernization: analysis of the relationship between soybean agriculture, municipal economy and water resources management in Iporá/GO – Brazil, 2002 - 2024 abstract: The expansion of soybean agriculture in Brazilian municipalities is legitimized through the developmentalist narrative that brings the idea of ​​progress and socio-territorial development. Considering the time frame between 2002 and 2023, there was significant growth in soybean cultivation, represented by the production and territorial occupation. The expansion of soybean agriculture has a moderate impact on the municipal economy, as can be seen trough the indicators related to employment/income and tax collection. During the period analyzed, it is also possible to measure the increase in extreme poverty and poverty in the municipality. The modification in the rural landscape of Iporá/GO occurs predominantly from the replacement of areas designated for pasturage in relation to agriculture. In addition to the productive restructuring guided by soybean agriculture, there was a reduction in rainfall levels during the period studied, which directly affects the population's water supply conditions. The analysis of land use and occupation in the Ribeirão Santo Antônio Microbasin indicates the intersection between the water crisis and the expansion of soybean agriculture in the municipality. Keywords: Soybean agriculture; Municipal economy; Water resources management; Iporá/GO. Distopías de la modernización: análisis de la relación entre sojacultura, economía municipal y gestión de los recursos hídricos en Iporá/GO - Brasil, 2002 - 2024 Resumen: La expansión de la cultura de soja en los municipios brasileños es legitimada mediante la narrativa desarrollista que trae la idea de progreso y desarrollo socioterritorial. Al considerarse el recorte temporal entre 2002 y 2023, se observa el crecimiento significativo de la cultura de soja, representado por la producción y ocupación territorial. La expansión de la cultura de soja impacta de manera modesta a la economía municipal, como es posible observar a través de los indicadores relacionados con empleo/renta y recaudación tributaria. En el período analizado, también es posible constatar la elevación de la extrema pobreza y de la pobreza en el municipio. La alteración del paisaje rural de Iporá/GO ocurre predominantemente a partir de la sustitución de las áreas destinadas al pastoreo en relación con la agricultura. Además de la reestructuración productiva orientada por la cultura de soja, ocurre en el período estudiado la reducción de los índices pluviométricos, lo que impacta directamente a las condiciones de abastecimiento poblacional. El análisis del uso y ocupación del suelo en la Microcuenca de Ribeirão Santo Antônio indica la intersección entre la crisis hídrica y la expansión de la cultura de soja en el municipio.

Rede Global Extrativa de Terras Raras e Asfixia dos Territórios de Interesse Socioambiental do Cerrado em Goiás, Brasil
Nas últimas décadas o modelo econômico dependente da exploração e exportação de bens naturais transformou o Cerrado goiano em uma periferia extrativa global. Um dos principais setores que contribuiu para isso foi a mineração. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste artigo é interpretar as implicações territoriais da expansão da fronteira extrativa de minerais críticos, com foco nas terras raras, em Goiás. Demonstra-se que a territorialização da rede global extrativa de terras raras representa a asfixia ou o cercamento dos Territórios de Interesse Socioambiental (TIS) do Cerrado. A metodologia baseia-se em procedimentos qualitativos e quantitativos, como revisão bibliográfica, levantamento e interpretação de dados estatísticos em distintas fontes. Na apresentação dos resultados, inicialmente, interpreta-se a expansão da fronteira extrativa mineral em Goiás, representada pelo controle do subsolo via processos minerários e novos projetos de minerais críticos e estratégicos, para, então, constatar como os projetos de mineração de terras raras ilustram a nova fronteira extrativa no território goiano e representam uma ameaça efetiva aos TIS do Cerrado. Com isso, visa-se a problematizar o modelo de mineração no Brasil e contribuir com a defesa dos territórios do Cerrado para a vida, e não para o capitalismo extrativo global. Global Rare Earth Extractive Network and the Asphyxiation of Socio-Environmental Interest Territories in the Cerrado of Goiás, Brasil Abstract: In recent decades, the economic model dependent on the extraction and export of natural resources has transformed the Cerrado of Goiás into a global extractive periphery. One of the main sectors contributing to this transformation has been mining. Thus, the aim of this article is to interpret the territorial implications of the expansion of the extractive frontier of critical minerals—particularly rare earth elements—in Goiás. It is demonstrated that the territorialization of the global rare earth extractive network results in the asphyxiation, or enclosure, of the Socio-Environmental Interest Territories (TIS) of the Cerrado. The methodology is based on both qualitative and quantitative procedures, including a literature review and the collection and interpretation of statistical data from various sources. In presenting the results, the article first examines the expansion of the mineral extractive frontier in Goiás, represented by subsurface control through mining processes and new projects involving critical and strategic minerals. It then demonstrates how rare earth mining projects illustrate this new extractive frontier in the territory of Goiás and constitute an effective threat to the Socio-Environmental Interest Territories (TIS) of the Cerrado. With this, the article seeks to problematize Brazil’s mining model and to contribute to the defense of Cerrado territories for life, rather than for global extractive capitalism. Keywords: Goiás Cerrado; Mining; Territory; Global Extractive Periphery. Red Global Extractiva de Tierras Raras y Asfixia de los Territorios de Interés Socioambiental del Cerrado en Goiás, Brasil Resumen: En las últimas décadas, el modelo económico dependiente de la explotación y exportación de bienes naturales ha transformado el Cerrado goiano en una periferia extractiva global. Uno de los principales sectores que contribuyó a este proceso fue la minería. De este modo, el objetivo de este artículo es interpretar las implicaciones territoriales de la expansión de la frontera extractiva de minerales críticos, con énfasis en las tierras raras, en Goiás. Se demuestra que la territorialización de la red global extractiva de tierras raras representa la asfixia, o el cercamiento, de los Territorios de Interés Socioambiental (TIS) del Cerrado. La metodología se basa en procedimientos cualitativos y cuantitativos, como la revisión bibliográfica, el levantamiento y la interpretación de datos estadísticos provenientes de distintas fuentes. En la presentación de los resultados, inicialmente se interpreta la expansión de la frontera extractiva mineral en Goiás, representada por el control del subsuelo mediante procesos mineros y nuevos proyectos de minerales críticos y estratégicos. A continuación, se constata cómo los proyectos de minería de tierras raras ilustran la nueva frontera extractiva en el territorio goiano y representan una amenaza efectiva para los TIS del Cerrado. Con ello, se busca problematizar el modelo de minería en Brasil y contribuir a la defensa de los territorios del Cerrado para la vida, y no para el capitalismo extractivo global.

Valoração Ambiental e Pagamentos por Serviços Ambientais: o potencial dos ativos ambientais do cerrado em Goiás
Este artigo traz uma discussão sobre a valoração ambiental via pagamentos por serviços ambientais (PSA’s), tendo como vértice o potencial das áreas de cerrado em Goiás. Tem-se como pressuposto, que essa valoração se constitui em um importante instrumento econômico que viabiliza a arrecadação financeira via proteção ambiental. Para dar plausibilidade teórica a essa discussão, aportou-se no conceito de ativos ambientais vislumbrando a identificação dos potenciais alvos para precificação dos serviços ecossistêmicos no Estado. Destarte, foram desenvolvidas avaliações do potencial dos PSA’s para os proprietários de Reservas Particulares de Patrimônio Natural (RPPN), Reservas Legais (RL), Áreas de Proteção Permanente (APP), Unidades de Conservação (UC). Além destas aplicações, abordou-se novas fontes de recursos inserindo o ICMS Ecológico e as Taxas de Proteção Ambiental (TAP) como instrumentos de aumento do poder de arrecadação e de transferência de renda. Os resultados demonstraram que o modelo de PSA’s se insere na dinâmica inovadora da bioeconomia, necessitando de cuidados em relação ao Faturamento Induzido da Natureza, que além de exceder a capacidade de carga destas áreas, promove a economia de mercado que exclui e elitiza o patrimônio natural, desconsiderando a transferência de renda para as comunidades. Environmental Valuation and Payments for Environmental Services: the potential of Cerrado environmental assets in Goiás Abstract: This article presents a discussion on environmental valuation through Payments for Environmental Services (PES), focusing on the potential of Cerrado areas in the state of Goiás. The premise is that such valuation constitutes an important economic instrument that enables financial revenue generation through environmental protection. To provide theoretical support for this discussion, the concept of environmental assets was used to identify potential targets for pricing ecosystem services in the state. Accordingly, assessments were conducted regarding the potential of PES for owners of Private Natural Heritage Reserves (RPPN), Legal Reserves (LR), Permanent Preservation Areas (PPA), and Conservation Units (CU). In addition to these applications, new funding sources were addressed, such as the Ecological ICMS and Environmental Protection Fees (TAP), presented as mechanisms for increasing revenue-raising capacity and income transfers. The results show that the PES model is part of the innovative dynamics of the bioeconomy, yet it requires caution regarding the Nature-Induced Revenue, which, in addition to exceeding the carrying capacity of these areas, favors a market-based economy that excludes and elitizes natural heritage while disregarding income redistribution to local communities. Keywords: sustainability; environmental pressures; environmental amnesty; population exclusion; environmental rationality. Valoración Ambiental y Pagos por Servicios Ambientales: el potencial de los activos ambientales del Cerrado en Goiás Resumen: Este artículo presenta una discusión sobre la valoración ambiental mediante pagos por servicios ambientales (PSA), teniendo como eje el potencial de las áreas de cerrado en el estado de Goiás.

Para dar plausibilidad teórica a esta discusión, se recurre al concepto de activos ambientales, con el objetivo de identificar los potenciales objetivos para la fijación de precios de los servicios ecosistémicos en el estado. De este modo, se desarrollaron evaluaciones del potencial de los PSA para los propietarios de Reservas Particulares del Patrimonio Natural (RPPN), Reservas Legales (RL), Áreas de Preservación Permanente (APP) y Unidades de Conservación (UC). Además de estas aplicaciones, se abordaron nuevas fuentes de recursos, incorporando el ICMS Ecológico y las Tasas de Protección Ambiental (TPA) como instrumentos para aumentar la capacidad de recaudación y la transferencia de ingresos. Los resultados demostraron que el modelo de PSA se inserta en la dinámica innovadora de la bioeconomía, requiriendo cuidados en relación con la Facturación Inducida de la Naturaleza, que, además de exceder la capacidad de carga de estas áreas, promueve una economía de mercado que excluye y elitiza el patrimonio natural, desconsiderando la transferencia de ingresos a las comunidades.

The Palestinian Drama: Land Dispossession, Apartheid, and Genocide
In October 2023, the historic conflict between Israel and Palestine, which began in 1948, made headlines in the international press. However, the mainstream western media’s narrative on the issue omits the underlying motive behind Israel’s disproportionate response to Hamas attacks, downplays the genocidal campaign against Palestinians, and downplays Prime Minister Netanyahu's escalation of the conflict. Given the complexity of the issue, this article seeks, through a geopolitical analysis of the Palestinian drama, to highlight the process of apartheid and genocide, which are accompanied by the State of Israel's land grabbing.

Considerations on the methodological foundations of Jean Tricart's work and its reflexes on brazilian geomorphology
Geomorphology in Brazil had its first steps and major ruptures under the influence of foreign geographers, mainly French. These researchers contributed a lot to the methodological organization of research in Geomorphology in Brazil. Among these geographers stands out Jean Tricart. To understand the directions taken by geomorphological research in Brazil, it is necessary to seek its epistemological roots and understand some debates, including philosophical ones about Nature. In this context, this brief contribution aims to elucidate how Jean Tricart, a French geographer with an important role in the constitution of Brazilian Geomorphology, became the bridge between discussions of nature undertaken from organic conceptions of nature and Brazilian Geomorphology. Jean Tricart was influenced by a discussion of Organic Nature, initiated in Ancient Greece, rescued by Kant and his successors, later discussed in the General Theory of Systems, current followed and defended by Tricart. He, in turn, influenced the works of Brazilian geographers who addressed the territorial dynamics and the anthropization of the landscape, either directly or indirectly.
School geographical atlas of Minas Gerais: possibilities and poten
This paper discusses the importance of school cartography as an essential tool for teaching geography, highlighting the role of the School Geographic Atlas of Minas Gerais as a teaching resource. The Atlas Geográfico Escolar de Minas Gerais, produced between 2023 and 2024 and scheduled for publication in 2025 by Editora Unimontes, aims to contribute to cartographic literacy. The material includes different perspectives, such as social, indigenous, tactile and decolonial cartographies, as well as thematic maps, explanatory texts and interactive resources such as QR Codes. This approach seeks to bring students closer to the territorial reality of Minas Gerais, promoting more inclusive and critical teaching. This study took a qualitative approach and made use of a literature review and geoprocessing techniques. The results indicate that the Atlas broadens understanding of geographical concepts and encourages critical analysis of socio-spatial dynamics. It is understood that its implementation has the potential to transform geography teaching, strengthening students' relationship with geographical space and promoting a more contextualized and meaningful education.
The place of landscape symbolism in more-than-representational approaches
This epistemological article aims to evaluate the role of symbolisms within the more-than-representational approach. From the point of view of cultural approaches, more-than-representational epistemology presents itself as innovative because it is capable of transcending taken-for-granted symbolisms and detailing the meanings that are perpetually re-signified amidst the complex webs of human and non-human relations. As a strategy for evaluating symbolism in more-than-representational approaches, the article compares a brief history of cultural geographies that takes as its starting point the sauerian tradition and passes through the dominant approaches of the new cultural geography. The comparison of the place of symbolisms between these approaches highlights the epistemic differences and similarities, lending more clarity to the discussion.

Geography and communication in indigenous territory: the culture of the naming ritual of the Boe (Bororo) people
: Geography is a science that values ​​and rescues traditional knowledge and, therefore, communication is necessary as a tool to access the territories of traditional peoples, as communication takes place in various forms, from writing to bodily representations. The territory is imbued with symbolism and characteristics of certain groups, it is the basis for recovering the cultural roots that define the specificities of the subjects who live there. The indigenous territory is one of the territories that brings in its material and immaterial manifestation the framework of struggles, customs, identity, conflicts, rituals and social relations that strengthen the village's collective bond. The indigenous territory of the Bororo people is full of traditions that value their customs and cultural practices, one of the rituals of great importance for the village is the naming ritual. The methodology of this work relies on fieldwork carried out during the geography and communication discipline, in addition to a bibliographical survey on the research topic. The results obtained show the importance of the territory of indigenous peoples for understanding various social and cultural aspects, as well as knowing part of the ancestry of the Brazilian people, in addition to understanding that communication takes place in various ways, mainly in the concrete reality of the territories.

Communication and geography: narratives about the study in the Meruri Village of the Bóe-Bororo indigenous people
Considering the Humanist Geography that recognizes local narratives and the representativeness of experiences, historical origins related to places and also values ​​narratives that reveal traditions, memories and subjectivity, this work used autoethnographic reporting as a methodological resource and praxis. We sought to support self-reflexive texts based on theories and thinkers from Geography, Autoethnography and Communication, to “put in common” realities that were less explored by traditional/conservative scientific production. This work intends to do justice to the proposals of the Master's in Geography and the Communication and Geography discipline, also expressing as fully and deeply the perceptions about the space of Aldeia Meruri, of the Boe Bororo indigenous people.

Impacts inherent to occupation in the city of São Raimundo Nonato - Piauí
Especially in the 1970s, issues related to the environment gained prominence, when the scientific community warned about lifestyles based on the indiscriminate appropriation of natural resources, as well as the intensive and extensive use and occupation of land, which negatively impacts socio-economic, environmental and cultural aspects through changes in the dynamics of physical systems, affecting people's quality of life. In this context, the main objective of this work was to understand the socio-environmental impacts in less complex urban environments, focusing on the urbanization processes in São Raimundo Nonato/PI. Based on the Systemic Analysis, promoted by Mendonça's Urban Environmental System (U.E.S.) (2004), it was found that the city of São Raimundo Nonato, despite falling into the category of a small city, is periodically affected by serious hydro-meteorological damage, such as flooding, which occurs annually during the rainy season, and by the way the urban settlement is organized near the Piauí River. Thus, regardless of the size or urban structure of a given inhabited area, the relationship between society and nature inevitably generates different levels of socio-environmental and economic impacts in cities.
Urban networks and arborescence: a view of rhizome connections
The study of urban networks can be considered the main theme of this text. Considering this, it is necessary to ask whether traditional approaches to urban networks effectively explain the concrete reality? In order to conduct the initial discussion, a connection was sought between these concepts and other unorthodox approaches, such as the idea of ​​rhizome and arborescence by Deleuze and Guattari (1995). To this end, the text presents some considerations on urban networks with Rochefort (1998) and Christaller (1933), followed by a conceptualization of rhizome and arborescence, a contrast between the forms, and the final considerations. The chosen approach was a literature review. Since this is an introductory text that aims to raise the debate on these possibilities, the literature chosen was quite limited, mainly due to the complexity of the theory involved. In its conclusion, it was understood that it is necessary to criticize the rigid form of theories involving the idea of ​​hierarchization of centers, seeking a way, in social diversity, to manifest itself in networks, leading them to a dynamic much closer to the conception of rhizome.

Observatory of the Brazilian Social State: disseminating why the State matters!
This article aims to present the scientific communication strategy of the Observatory of the Brazilian Social State. Created in January 2020 through a partnership between the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), the State University of Goiás (UEG), and the Goiano Federal Institute (IFGoiano), the project, envisioned by Professor Tadeu Alencar Arrais, functions as an online platform that seeks to offer the general community, in different formats, a geographical perspective on the importance of the Social State in a country marked by continental dimensions and great diversity and inequality such as Brazil. Beyond a research effort, the project is configured as a scientific communication channel. In this article, we present the project's proposal and some of the main products developed by the research group. We understand that the project is an important means for the dissemination of critical geographical knowledge about the importance of the Social State's role, which can contribute to a more informed and conscious society.
Geografia e comunicação: o Hip Hop como ferramenta de contra-ordem das forças verticais da cidade
O presente trabalho se apoia na Geografia Cultural para apresentar o Hip Hop como uma ferramenta de comunicação das forças horizontais da cidade. Sendo a cidade, para Milton Santos, um grande sistema com diversidade socioespacial, nela encontram-se tendências verticalizantes regidas pelos poderes do capital, ao mesmo tempo em que abrangem as forças oriundas do local, das horizontalidades que não incorporam, de seu todo, tais tendências. Para tanto, apoia-se no levantamento bibliográfico e na análise crítica para apresentar o Hip Hop como uma prática sociocultural que contribui para a compreensão dos territórios periféricos e suas identidades, além de apresentar temas passíveis de desvelarem a dinâmica social da cidade em suas verticalidades e horizontalidades. Geography and communication: Hip Hop as a tool for counter-order against the vertical forces of the city Abstract: This work relies on Cultural Geography to present Hip Hop as a communication tool for the horizontal forces of the city. According to Milton Santos, the city is a vast system with socio-spatial diversity, where verticalizing trends governed by the powers of capital exist alongside local forces, or horizontalities, that do not fully incorporate these trends. To this end, it draws on bibliographic research and critical analysis to present Hip Hop as a sociocultural practice that contributes to understanding peripheral territories and their identities, as well as to highlight themes that reveal the social dynamics of the city in both its vertical and horizontal aspects. Keywords: City; peripheral territory; popular communication; Hip Hop. Geografía y comunicación: el Hip Hop como herramienta de contraorden de las fuerzas verticales de la ciudad Resumén: El presente trabajo se apoya en la Geografía Cultural para presentar el Hip Hop como herramienta de comunicación de las fuerzas horizontales de la ciudad. Siendo la ciudad, para Milton Santos, un gran sistema con diversidad socioespacial, en ella se encuentran tendencias verticalizantes regidas por los poderes del capital, al mismo tiempo que abarcan las fuerzas provenientes del local, de las horizontalidades que no incorporan, en su totalidad, tales tendencias. Para ello, se apoya en el levantamiento bibliográfico y en el análisis crítico para presentar el Hip Hop como una práctica sociocultural que contribuye a la comprensión de los territorios periféricos y sus identidades, además de presentar temas susceptibles de desvelar la dinámica social de la ciudad en sus verticalidades y horizontalidades. Palabras-clave: Ciudad; territorio periférico; comunicación popular; Hip Hop.

Narratives in transit: the geography of communication and the popularization of Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Quartet
This article investigates the role of public media and the online circulation of audiovisual content in the global dissemination of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Quartet, relating it to the growth of literary tourism in Naples. Using an interdisciplinary approach between communication, geography and cultural studies, we analyze how these phenomena promote local culture and internationalize works. The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism report (Nielsen and Fletcher, 2023) highlights the influence of public media in shaping public opinion and promoting local culture, while studies by Szczepanik, Zahrádka and Macek (2020) provide insights into the online dissemination of the work. The geography of Naples, with its urban and cultural spaces, is explored as an essential factor in the construction of Ferrante's narratives and tourist attraction. It also analyzes how the concepts of common culture and accessibility, proposed by Raymond Williams (1958), shape the cultural relevance of the Quartet. It is concluded that the media play a fundamental role in the construction of images of Naples, influencing both tourist perception and the global reception of Ferrante's works.
Segurança hídrica no município de Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brasil: uma análise do cenário pós-transposição
O município de Campina Grande, situado no Agreste paraíbano, sempre enfrentou o desafio da escassez do abastecimento de água. Historicamente, diversos projetos alternativos de abastecimento foram colocados em prática, tendo se mostrado, todos eles, fracassados nesse propósito. O Açude Epitácio Pessoa, no município de Boqueirão - Paraíba (PB, é a atual fonte de abastecimento de água do município de Campina Grande - PB. Construído como promessa de solução efetiva no combate à seca, com o passar dos anos, se mostrou insuficiente em razão da dependência e vulnerabilidade, frente às condições climáticas. A partir de 2007, um antigo projeto passa a ser executado. Trata-se do Projeto de Integração da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio São Francisco com as Bacias do Nordeste Setentrional, conduzindo água a várias localidades, dentre elas ao açude Epitácio Pessoa. Com a chegada das águas da transposição, considerando o aumento do volume de água no açude, alguns órgãos de imprensa passaram a noticiar que Campina Grande vivencia uma situação de segurança hídrica. Nesse contexto, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo, analisar se é adequado considerar que o município de Campina Grande vivencia uma situação de Segurança Hídrica. Utilizando uma abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa pode ser classificada como estudo de caso, considerando que busca investigar um fenômeno contemporâneo, dentro de seu contexto real. Os principais resultados apontam para a impossibilidade de se atribuir a condição de Segurança Hídrica ao município. A pesquisa demonstrou enorme potencial científico, uma vez que correlaciona um fato social com conceitos e teorias, cientificamente consolidados, contribuindo, dessa forma, para a tomada de decisão dos atores políticos de todas as esferas governamentais, no sentido de se promover o uso sustentável da água Seguridad hídrica en el municipio de Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brasil: un análisis del escenario post-transposición Resumen: El municipio de Campina Grande, ubicado en la región de Agreste, Paraíba, siempre ha enfrentado el desafío de la escasez de suministro de agua. Históricamente se pusieron en práctica varios proyectos de abastecimiento alternativo, todos los cuales resultaron infructuosos en este propósito. La Presa Epitácio Pessoa, en el municipio de Boqueirão - Paraíba (PB), es la actual fuente de abastecimiento de agua para el municipio de Campina Grande - PB. Construido como una promesa de una solución eficaz para combatir la sequía, con el paso de los años demostró ser insuficiente debido a la dependencia y vulnerabilidad ante las condiciones climáticas. A partir de 2007 se empezó a implementar un antiguo proyecto. Se trata del Proyecto de Integración de la Cuenca del Río São Francisco con las Cuencas del Nordeste, entregando agua a varias localidades, incluida la represa Epitácio Pessoa. Con la llegada de las aguas de transposición, considerando el aumento del volumen de agua en el embalse, algunas agencias de prensa comenzaron a informar que Campina Grande vive una situación de seguridad hídrica. En este contexto, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar si es apropiado considerar que el municipio de Campina Grande experimenta una situación de Seguridad Hídrica. Utilizando un enfoque cualitativo, la investigación puede clasificarse como un estudio de caso, considerando que busca investigar un fenómeno contemporáneo, dentro de su contexto real. Los principales resultados apuntan a la imposibilidad de atribuir el estatus de Seguridad Hídrica al municipio. La investigación demostró un enorme potencial científico, ya que correlaciona un hecho social con conceptos y teorías científicamente consolidados, contribuyendo así a la toma de decisiones de los actores políticos de todos los ámbitos de gobierno, con el fin de promover el uso sostenible del agua.

Water security in the municipality of Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil: an analysis of the post-transposition scenario Abstract: The municipality of Campina Grande, located in the Agreste region of Paraíba, has always faced the challenge of water supply shortages. Historically, several alternative supply projects were put into practice, all of which proved to be unsuccessful in this purpose. The Epitácio Pessoa Dam, in the municipality of Boqueirão - Paraíba (PB), is the current source of water supply for the municipality of Campina Grande - PB. Built as a promise of an effective solution to combat drought, over the years, it proved to be insufficient due to dependence and vulnerability in the face of climatic conditions. From 2007 onwards, an old project began to be implemented. This is the Integration Project for the São Francisco River Basin with the Northern Northeast Basins, delivering water to several locations, including the Epitácio Pessoa dam. With the arrival of the transposition waters, considering the increase in the volume of water in the reservoir, some press agencies began to report that Campina Grande is experiencing a water security situation. In this context, the present research aims to analyze whether it is appropriate to consider that the municipality of Campina Grande experiences a Water Security situation. Using a qualitative approach, the research can be classified as a case study, considering that it seeks to investigate a contemporary phenomenon, within its real context. The main results point to the impossibility of attributing Water Security status to the municipality. The research demonstrated enormous scientific potential, as it correlates a social fact with scientifically consolidated concepts and theories, thus contributing to the decision-making of political actors from all government spheres, in order to promote the sustainable use of water. Keywords: water security; Campina Grande; transposition; water; supply.
Reflexão sobre o Lugar e acerca de como aplicar suas respectivas orientações teóricas ao ensino/aprendizagem de Geografia na educação básica
Abstract: This article to object to develop a reflection on the geographical category "Place", based on the panorama offered by geographical science, from Classical Antiquity to modernity, so that, from geographical thinking, it is possible to establish a dialogue between what theory prescribes and how to combine it with practice in the teaching/learning process of Geography in the last years of basic school in basic education. The theoretical path used here are the names of Critical and Humanistic Geography (Milton Santos, Tuan, Ana Fani and others) and the methodological path is the bibliographic review of these works, the presentation of the main ideas contained in them about the category, place and articulation of them with the national curricular parameters and the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) as they are received and defended in the teaching of Geography. The research identified the nuances of place as a natural spatial cut, of affectivity (topophilia), belonging and identity and proposes that these relationships be worked on with the student beyond the usual and pragmatic reading that prevails in public education.

Efeitos da generalização cartográfica em extração de rede de drenagem gerada de forma automática
Through Digital Elevation Models (DEM) it is possible to perform the automatic drainage network extraction, which besides being a fast procedure it is the basis for generating other data in hydrological studies. However, with the advancement in the geotechnology and the increase in available digital products, many data are automatically generated disregarding data sampling characteristics. In this work, the sampling factor considered for the drainage network were two: scale representation and DEM influence. In order to do this, three DEMs were selected: ASTER-GDEM, TOPODATA and SRTM-4; and five scale representations: 1/50,000; 1/100,000; 1/150,000; 1/200,000 and 1/450,000. The drainage network was analyzed in two ways: by samples and by population analysis. According to the analysis by samples, the most satisfactory results were in the 1/450,000 scale, in which the DEMs demonstrated a higher accuracy rate (compatible design to water channels). In the larger scales (1/50,000 and 1/100,000) the mismatches between automatic extraction and watercourse are more perceptible to the human eye, which influenced the evaluation of areas with satisfactory results for watercourse delineation. In the population analysis, the scale factor was disregarded and the SRTM-4 was the DEM that obtained greater accuracy: 73% of regularity with watercourses.
Produção rural familiar em Francisco Sá (Minas Gerais/Brasil): A comunidade rural de Várzea Dourada
O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender a produção rural familiar na Comunidade de Várzea Dourada, município de Francisco Sá, com destaque para o associativismo. O associativismo tem por essência proporcionar benefícios técnicos, profissionais, econômicos e sociais a determinados grupos de indivíduos que expressam interesses homogêneos, ou seja, consiste em um grupo social organizado com objetivos comuns. Para tanto, utilizou-se como metodologia: revisão bibliográfica, análise de dados coletados em trabalho/exercício de campo realizado no mês de outubro de 2023, com a aplicação de questionários aos afiliados da Associação dos Pequenos Proprietários Rurais da Baixa do Charquinho/Várzea Dourada e uso de registros fotográficos para tornar mais verossímil as análises. Considera-se que, a agricultura familiar é fundamental para a manutenção das famílias no campo, sendo a pecuária leiteira a atividade econômica preponderante entre os agricultores familiares desta comunidade. Estes ainda produzem milho, cana-de-açúcar, mandioca, banana, coco, feijão, verduras e legumes, além de investirem na avicultura e na criação de porcos. Podemos descrever a maioria dos agricultores familiares de Várzea Dourada como pessoas que resistem ao êxodo rural, por gostarem da vida no espaço rural herdado, que não se refere apenas a propriedade, mas também aos traços culturais da terra e aos laços afetivos.

Family rural production in francisco sá (minas gerais/brazil): the rural community of várzea dourada Abstract: The objective of this work is to understand family rural production in the Várzea Dourada Community, in the municipality of Francisco Sá, with an emphasis on associations. The essence of associations is to provide technical, professional, economic, and social benefits to certain groups of individuals who express homogeneous interests, that is, they consist of an organized social group with common objectives. To this end, the following methodology was used: bibliographic review, analysis of data collected in field work/exercise carried out in October 2023, with the application of questionnaires to members of the Association of Small Rural Landowners of Baixa do Charquinho/Várzea Dourada, and use of photographic records to make the analyses more credible. It is considered that family farming is essential for the maintenance of families in the countryside, with dairy farming being the predominant economic activity among family farmers in this community. They also produce corn, sugar cane, cassava, bananas, coconuts, beans, vegetables, and legumes, in addition to investing in poultry farming and pig farming. We can describe the majority of family farmers in Várzea Dourada as people who resist the rural exodus, because they enjoy life in the inherited rural space, which does not only refer to property, but also to the cultural traits of the land and emotional ties.

Apresentação - Dossiê: Geografia e Comunicação
Como a geografia se comunica e qual a geograficidade da comunicação? Não temos resposta para tal questão, ou melhor, partindo de uma perspectiva dialética, temos uma diversidade de possíveis repostas, múltiplas e fragmentadas. É no sentido de juntar alguns elementos deste mosaico explicativo que apresentamos o dossiê temático “Geografia e Comunicação”. A relação entre geografia e comunicação abrange desde linguagens simbólicas que incluem, por exemplo, as pinturas corporais indígenas, as danças tradicionais quilombolas, a cultura camponesa, até uma análise da sociedade em rede e da grande mídia, além da era da informação instantânea, com as novas tecnologias, a internet, a mídia digital e as novas redes sociais implicadas no “capitalismo de plataforma”. (Srnicek, 2017). Os povos indígenas tem a arte como elemento cultural essencial. Mas, tal elemento não está desconectado dos processos de comunicação. O artesanato, os adornos e a pintura corporal comunicam seus clãs, seus rituais, suas lutas, sua relação orgânica com a natureza, sua cosmovisão. A pintura corporal entre o Povo Boe (Bororo), por exemplo, define a divisão clânica e, por consequência, define a organização espacial das aldeias e territórios. Contudo, a linguagem artística da pintura, com outros sentidos e significados, de resistência e protesto, também está refletida no grafismo em territórios urbanizados. Os processos de comunicação de massa, no entanto, passaram por transformações amplas na última metade deste século. Primeiro com a grande mídia, estruturada para atender aos interesses dos agentes dominantes, que influenciou e continua a influenciar diretamente a configuração e a dinâmica dos territórios, criando padrões de comportamento e garantindo o controle social. Quem controlou a grande mídia controlou a geração e circulação de informações e, por consequência, deteve o poder político e econômico global. Nas últimas décadas, o advento da internet, solidificando uma sociedade da informação, tem estabelecido uma rede com novas e dominantes formas de produção de conteúdo e compartilhamento de informação. Manuel Castells (1999) já chamava a atenção, a mais de duas décadas, para a importância da internet, que não deveria ser considerada uma mera tecnologia, visto que passou a influenciar amplamente a cultura e a vida cotidiana da sociedade, passando a definir, controlar e conectar os diferentes territórios e seus usos. Neste sentido, além da população perder a socialização no mundo real, e não estar estabelecido que as tecnologias sejam consideradas como “bem comum” a todas e todos, as Big Techs (Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon e Microsoft etc.), reafirmam e promovem as desigualdades e a exclusão social e digital mundial, direcionando exclusivamente as tecnologias para seus interesses privados de lucro e poder. Como a geografia tem estudado e poderia analisar a comunicação a partir desse novo contexto histórico e espacial, sem perder a perspectiva de autonomia e resistência dos povos e grupos sociais subalternizados? E, ou uma comunicação intercultural com diferentes saberes e visões? Um passo nesse sentido foi dado por Jesus Martin-Barbero (2000; 2003), quando destaca a necessidade de compreendermos a comunicação como um fenômeno complexo, constituída em Ecossistemas Comunicativos cultural e socialmente estabelecidos. As informações na era da internet seriam, nessa perspectiva, acessadas de forma fragmentada e constituiriam um mosaico de saberes. Não havendo pluralidade e diversidade de ideias e sentidos em circulação no território, limita-se a possibilidade de criar, a partir dos lugares, projetos diferentes daqueles que atendem aos interesses dos agentes dominantes. (Pasti, 2018, p. 23). O território, nesse sentido, torna-se elemento essencial para a construção de processos comunicativos mais democráticos e libertadores. A comunicação não acontece no vazio, ela necessita de um território para se efetivar. Portanto, a geografia torna-se instrumento essencial para a compreensão crítica da sociedade em rede e da era da informação instantânea. Ela possibilita, ainda, o entendimento da espacialização das tecnologias, das informações e das estratégias de extração do olhar e dos dados pessoais pela “superindústria do imaginário” (Bucci, 2021). Sendo assim, com este dossiê temático esperamos que a pesquisa crítica no campo das interpretações geográficas fortaleça o diálogo com a comunicação e as múltiplas linguagens que constituem a densa experiência humana na relação com os territórios.
Community-based tourism in the Kalunga territory: a look at the Quilombola Community Vão do Moleque, in the municipality of Cavalcante - GO
This article proposes to study community-based tourism in the Kalunga territory and evaluate how tourism has been developing in the Quilombola’s Communities located in the Kalunga Historical Site and Cultural Heritage, in the northeast of Goiás. For this purpose, it was chosen as the main focus , a community in Vão do Moleque, located in Cavalcante - GO. As a general objective, it was proposed to verify how tourist activity has been developing in Quilombola’s Communities, especially in the Vão do Moleque Community. For the methodology, it is based on the need to understand the Kalunga socio-territorial reading and the inclusion of tourism in the place, using the following methodological steps: bibliographic review, through the survey of theoretical-methodological references on the theme of tourism; Then, surveys were carried out on the main tourist attractions in Quilombola’s Communities, using fieldwork and interviews with tour guides and community residents. Finally, analyzes and maps were carried out for later writing of the text. It is possible to observe tourism consolidating the importance of the community without reducing the number of communities. Community-based tourism can be a good alternative for generating income and inserting traditional communities into tourist work, related to guiding activities at attractions and selling handicrafts and offering accommodation and food. The Vão do Moleque community, the focus of this research, presents tourism in an incipient form, but there was a lot of expectation on the part of the community to consolidate themselves in community-based tourism, as occurred in the neighboring community: Engenho II.
