Incorporación de tecnologías digitales y organización del trabajo en empresas industriales: los casos de San Martín (Buenos Aires) y Rafaela (Santa Fe)
Este artículo analiza la relación entre la adopción de tecnologías digitales y la organización del trabajo en empresas industriales de San Martín (Buenos Aires) y Rafaela (Santa Fe). En el contexto latinoamericano, la incorporación de estas tecnologías sigue siendo limitada, especialmente en pequeñas empresas, lo que acentúa la heterogeneidad estructural y la coexistencia de distintos niveles de modernización. A partir de un enfoque empírico, los resultados muestran que las empresas con mayor adopción tecnológica tienden a desarrollar estructuras organizativas más dinámicas, promoviendo la autonomía, el trabajo en equipo y la capacitación continua. En cambio, las firmas con menor nivel de digitalización presentan estructuras más rígidas y jerárquicas. El estudio destaca la necesidad de acompañar los procesos de transformación digital con cambios organizacionales que potencien la generación de conocimiento, la innovación y el crecimiento sostenible en el sector industrial argentino.

Digitalization of the territory, technical networks and information logistics: the centrality of São Paulo in the distribution of goods
Distribution centers are part of the logistical strategies of hegemonic companies and constitute objects that are increasingly important for the current distribution of goods. This article aims to discuss the dispersion of distribution centers, through selective networks in Brazilian territory, and the concomitant process of centralization of management and command activities in São Paulo. The methodological procedures consisted of a bibliographic review, analysis of secondary data and field research, during which distribution centers were visited and interviews were conducted with agents involved in the management and operation of these objects. This geographical analysis allows us to affirm that distribution centers form their own topology, which reveals the process of digitalization of the territory in one of its manifestations, while the metropolis of São Paulo plays its role as a center for managing capital and the expanded territory.

Through Actor-network theory (Latour, 2000; 2012), which is a set of conceptual foundations for analyzing actors who associate and mobilize a network in the technical-scientific environment through scientific controversies, the aim of the work is to identify and reflect on the main controversies in debate. Among them stand out its definition, the approach to carto(geo)graphic space, the representation and language of maps. This perspective on studies advances possibilities and controversies, to the detriment of unity and harmony of thought, which contributes to another understanding of the epistemological tradition of Cartography in Geography.

Este artigo tem a pretensão de mostrar a importância da geografia na formação dos estudantes, para o entendimento das suas realidades socioespaciais. Enquanto disciplina que estuda a sociedade através das relações socioespaciais e a territorialização, cabe à geografia um papel singular no auxílio para a transformação social. A geografia escolar deve desenvolver no aluno a capacidade de observar, analisar, interpretar e pensar/refletir/indagar criticamente sobre a realidade, com o objetivo de fomentar uma ação transformadora. Todavia, em Moçambique, a esta disciplina não está tendo a importância que merece no ensino: a partir das modificações do currículo escolar, a disciplina foi retirada das classes iniciais. No entanto, esses conteúdos são fundamentais para se entender as contradições territoriais de um país como Moçambique. De cunho reflexivo, este artigo traz na conclusão algumas respostas para a pergunta Geografia: para quem em Moçambique? Para isso, usamos como base algumas contribuições do debate realizado em apresentação da comunicação realizada em conferência em Maputo. A produção deste texto teve com metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental.

Redes técnicas digitais no continente africano e seus múltiplos usos no Quênia
O continente africano vem passando por profundas transformações digitais nas últimas décadas. Desde a virada para o século XXI, a África não apenas passou de um continente “marginal” a “central” no mapa-múndi dos cabos submarinos de fibra ótica, como também tem se tornado cada vez mais integrado internamente do ponto de vista digital. A instalação dessas redes técnicas digitais (como cabos de fibra ótica e data centers) tem gerado uma variedade considerável de usos para estas infraestruturas, desde a produção de softwares até a implementação de sistemas de pagamentos digitais e a digitalização de serviços governamentais. Neste processo, alguns países se destacam, com uma histórica concentração da internet africana no Norte do continente e na África do Sul. Cada vez mais, porém, o Quênia se impõe como hub digital na contemporaneidade, fruto de décadas de políticas voltadas ao setor e do estabelecimento de uma robusta empresa nacional de telecomunicações.

Digitalization of Brazilian territory and e-commerce:informational services in the territorial division of labor
In the process of digitalizing the Brazilian territory, e-commerce has been rapidly expanding. This article aims to identify and analyze the informational services and their agents that underpin this activity, based on the territorial division of labor. The research was conducted through the creation of a database of services and companies operating in Brazil, followed by graphical and cartographic processing, as well as bibliographic review and fieldwork. Using a multiscalar approach, the results showed that the identified informational services are essential for the functioning of the digital economy, forming a complex network of agents and locations that shape a selective and concentrated territorial division of labor. As only a few places serve as informational hubs in the current process, the article raises concerns about the remote control of digitization by a handful of national and foreign centers, which reinforces and intensifies historical regional inequalities.

Indigenous Toponyms in the State of São Paulo: A Geographic Contribution
Toponyms carry meanings that go beyond mere naming, reflecting power struggles, cultural references, and historical processes of domination and resistance. From a geographic and interdisciplinary perspective, this research investigated Indigenous-origin toponyms in the municipalities of São Paulo, analyzing their spatial distribution, the subjects involved, and the processes of territorial naming. The methodology combined a literature review, secondary data collection, and the use of QGIS 3.28 for mapping. The cartography highlighted the presence of Indigenous toponyms in 238 municipalities, revealing processes of resistance, the impacts of coloniality on toponymy, and erasures, particularly concerning the Macro-Jê peoples. The results underscore the need for public policies that value Indigenous toponyms and promote the preservation of collective memory in the context of São Paulo.

Redes geográficas e digitalização do território: as plataformas digitais no transporte rodoviário de passageiros
A informatização e digitalização do território gerou transformações substanciais no transporte rodoviário de passageiros ao propiciar a reorganização de processos internos às companhias, a aparição de novas empresas no setor e também o aprimoramento de funções regulatórias e de tarefas de fiscalização por parte do Estado. Com a difusão da telefonia móvel e o uso mais recorrente dos aparelhos smartphones, houve a partir da década de 2010 um substancial crescimento no uso e aquisição de serviços e produtos que eram eminentemente ofertados em estabelecimentos físicos. Portanto, este artigo debaterá as plataformas digitais no transporte rodoviário de passageiros à luz das redes geográficas e da digitalização do território, com a discussão estruturada em cinco itens que analisam desde a organização dos sítios eletrônicos de comercialização de passagens até a gênese de novos agentes operadores no serviço rodoviário regular.

The expansion of special economic zones in African countries: a consolidation of the upper circuit of the urban economy in the early 21st century?
The first decades of the 21st century were marked by a significant expansion of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) on the African continent, as their number increased from 20 in 1990 to 237 in 2020, revealing the concern of African states to promote a new wave of industrialization. Building upon the conceptual and historical content contained in the Theory of Urban Economy Circuits - developed by Milton Santos in the 1970s - this article seeks to characterize the expansion process of these SEZs as well as investigate to what extent this process is responsible for the consolidation of the upper circuit of urban economy in African cities. The research methodology is structured around an exploratory approach involving collecting, systematizing, and analyzing qualitative and quantitative data obtained from secondary sources. This study will likely contribute to interdisciplinary scientific debates regarding the presence of SEZs in territories of the Global South and to geographical debates at the interface between Economic, Urban, and Regional Geography.

Two Notorious and Historical Dimensions of Brazilian Geography
This new issue of GEOUSP Journal brings readers a diverse collection of articles that reflect two historically significant dimensions of Brazilian geography. Despite institutional fluctuations across different levels of government, geography has long been deeply rooted as a core subject for students between 10 and 18 years old. This explains why most undergraduate geography programs in Brazil, including those in the federal system, focus on teacher education. Thus, teacher training and the resulting reflections on geography education (school geography) naturally unfold as part of our field of knowledge. However, as is widely known, since at least the 1960s, geography in Brazil has also taken shape as a field of scientific knowledge production, of original research (Faria, 2012). We wish to highlight these two dimensions: scientific production and teacher education. The articles in this issue of GEOUSP illustrate that while these two facets are distinct, they are far from separate; instead, they have always coexisted deeply interwoven.

Exploring the Guianas Region through the "Lens" of Geography in Four Fieldworks (2017-2022)
This article presents the results of four field expeditions conducted between 2017 and 2022 in the Guianas region. Exploring territorial and cultural dynamics, the research focused on cross-border interactions between Brazil, France (French Guiana), the Republic of Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. Through direct observation, interviews with local residents, and analysis of daily practices, the study systematizes new information on flows of people, goods, and cultures, showing how these interactions reshape local territorialities and geographical space. Daily practices and socioeconomic challenges were documented based on direct observations at the borders, revealing dynamics not previously captured. The fieldwork allowed a critical perspective on regional geopolitics and emerging territorialities, highlighting the relevance of mobility for understanding changes in the Amazonian geographical space.

The Maxakali of the Indigenous Lands of Água Boa and Pradinho/Minas Gerais and the crisis of the Indian Protection Service
The Maxakali are a people belonging to the Jê Linguistic Family, occupying the territories between the Pardo and Doce rivers, northeast of Minas Gerais, and were under the protection of the Indian Protection Service (SPI) from 1940 to 1967. In its historical process, in addition to the lack of funds, trained professionals, corruption and inefficiency, they also suffered from hunger, poverty, spoliation and violence resulting from the deplorable services provided in the last decade of the aforementioned body's existence. This article aimed to analyze the historical process that culminated in the end of the Indian Protection Service's activities with the Maxakali. Methodologically, descriptive, ex post facto research was used, based on bibliographic and documentary sources, with the main source being the SPI documents made available by the Indian Museum in Rio de Janeiro.

“When the black woman moves, the entire structure of society moves with her”: an essay on black feminism and approaches to geographic thinking in research and teaching
This article presents a discussion on the potential of black feminist political theories for the development of geographic analyzes and studies. When considering the intersectional perspective in the construction of geographic thinking, the experiences of subjects in space differ according to their corporeality and markers of differences. Such elements are important points for understanding the social and epistemic inequality that plagues the reality of black women. Our reflections are anchored in bibliographical research and the state of knowledge on the topic of gender and race in the human sciences, particularly Geography. By highlighting the gaps in the production of geographic knowledge that makes the reality of black women visible, we reflect on the importance of fostering this debate in the epistemic field, through research and teaching.

A Geography of Trans People: The Vivid Face of Everyday Realities
In this theoretical essay, we engage with trans studies, urban anthropology, and transfeminism to discuss the production of space challenged by cisnormativity, proposing a geography of transfolks. We draw on Brazilian and anglophone trans authors to connect geographic analysis with autoethnographic texts that evoke the right to the city, understood as a call for the right to space. These accounts highlight a spatiality marked by stigma, prejudice, and restrictions. Finally, we analyze how the resistance tactics of these political subjects have evolved, from mobilizations during the civic-military dictatorship to the strengthening of the trans movement in recent years, becoming a relevant actor and achieving progress in institutional public policies.

Marxist feminism and the geographies of social reproduction: introductory notes
Social reproduction feminism has gained increasing relevance and visibility in research in various fields of human sciences in Brazil. Although there is an increase in geographers' interest in feminist perspectives, approaches related to social reproduction in our country are still underexplored, even when the themes covered are inserted in the sphere of reproduction. In the field of Brazilian geography, expanding the adoption of the Marxist feminist perspective would allow not only to identify activities that actually are social reproduction as social reproduction, but also to adjust the scales and methodological tools necessary for the development of research. As a result, analyzes would become more complex and generate new theoretical connections. In order to contribute to this debate, this work seeks to highlight elements of Marxist feminism that can serve as methodological starting points for deepening discussions on social reproduction in our study area

The triad of daily life, everydayness, and everyday life in relation to geography
In light of the emerging discussion on the notion of everyday life within Brazilian geography, this article presents an analysis of the construction and dynamics of the triad: daily life, everydayness, and everyday life, establishing connections between the work of Henri Lefebvre and geography. In doing so, we aim to develop a theoretical-conceptual unity with the elements of this triad and, from it, reflect on contemporary everyday life.

Territory, agribusiness and startups: Agtechs in the innovation ecosystem of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais (Brazil)
Transformations in the capitalist mode of production, characterized by the process of financialization and the globalization, have resulted in multidimensional impacts, both on the dynamics of accumulation itself and on how capital and businesses operate within territories. In this context, the concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship are articulated and become dominant, enabling the emergence of new business models that integrate innovation and finance (a role currently associated with startups) as well as new geographic situation, which can be identified in specific territorial contexts. This paper examines these processes through an analysis of the innovation ecosystem in the municipality of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais (Brazil), with a specific focus on the presence and strategies of agtechs (startups dedicated to agribusiness). The services offered by such companies were evaluated, as well as how these agents align with the conditions and imperatives of contemporary technological innovation, and their value creation in the market.

Configuration of Network Territories and Zonal Territories in Environmental Conflicts: Insights from the Esquel Case (Chubut, Argentina)
This article analyzes the territorial logics of actors involved in environmental conflicts, leading to the configuration of network-territories and zonal-territories. To interpret this phenomenon, the article delves into a significant South American case: the conflict over open-pit mining in Esquel (Chubut, Argentina). This conflict provides an opportunity to examine how actors, both those promoting mining and those opposing it, seek to impose their respective territorial project through various strategies. Additionally, the analysis of this experience highlights the dynamic nature of these logics, which are not confined to a specific type of actor, but are instead updated and reconfigured based on power relations and the protagonists`' interpretation at each phase of the dispute. In this way, the article contributes to assessing geographic concepts, understood as tools not only for comprehending phenomena but also for transforming them.

Geographies for Health: From the Pathologization of Space to the Emancipation of the Body-Territory
This reflective article stems from ongoing research at the intersection of feminist health perspectives and critical geograph y. It examines the female body (refers to bodies with a uterus that experience a sexual cycle-both ovarian and uterine) as a contested space shaped by biological, social, and political forces. Rather than viewing it as a medicalized object, the article conceptualizes the body as a geographic scale that embodies power relations within the health-illness continuum. The aim is to expose how the scientific pathologization of the female body reproduces violence and hierarchies that extend beyond the individual, permeating broader social structures. The methodology centers on embodied experience, drawing from decolonial, community-based, and Indigenous feminist frameworks, as well as the geography of care and well-being within the social sciences. Here, the body is not an object of study but an epistemic subject. Rooted in the lived experience of the body-territory, the research denounces violence and reclaims the female sexual cycle as situated knowledge rather than biomedical data.

The mobility of public educational policies for teacher training and the spacialties of political agents
Brazilian education has been conducted by political agents based on the interests of specific groups that operate on local and global scales and political spaces. The objective of this article is to reflect on the processes that involve the debate and construction of a national public policy, conducted by the “follow the policy” policy interpretation method (Peck & Theodore, 2010; 2012) and in accordance with its policy practices. spatial significance (Straforini). We take as our object BNC Formação and its construction and articulation process between 2016 and 2019, to elucidate how educational policies have been designed and organized to meet local demands and at the same time are articulated in an agenda of global interest. As a result of this research, we observed that the spatiality of agents involved in the textual elaboration of BNC Formação emphasizes their local interests and articulations, highlighting and strengthening business groups, as well as their demands in/with Brazilian territory.

The meaning of territory in Gottmann: the rise of the Right-Wing and the dilemma ofSecurity versus Opportunity
If Political Geography studies the relationship between space and power, this being the social relationship by definition, then territory, as a field of force and the spatialization of power, is a privileged field for geographical interpretation. This article seeks to investigate the relationship between Gottmann's territorial dilemma and the rise of far-right populist governments in the 2010s. In this sense, we evaluate the author's contributions in light of the recent dynamics of world politics, since changes in the power structure also mean changes in the ways in which space is organized. To this end, we carried out a qualitative review of the literature in order to guide discussions and concepts such as territory, sovereignty, the production of security, and threats. Thus, it is with the rise of far-right populist governments that we see the continuing dilemma of the forces of movement and systems of resistance to the movement by these groups in an attempt to regain political sovereignty over the territory.

Teaching and learning in Geography: three questions to analyze the present future
As the conditions for learning become increasingly dynamic, schools and training spaces are redefining their role as educational institutions, trying to account for the transformations of the world. In relation to the new space-time coordinates, we ask ourselves: what paths can be traced to enhance the teaching of Geography? Here we will try out a set of ideas that try to answer these questions. First, considerations are presented on the disciplinary and institutional contexts in which teaching practices are inscribed; then, a development is proposed based on three words-concepts that guide the pedagogical intentions. These words-concepts are: tomorrow, intersections and territory. Finally, some reflections dedicated to the new reordering of social life and the debates on how to live together, in order to strengthen the links between knowledge, schools and new social demands.

Gender Geography is not a genre of Geography.
This article defends the idea that gender Geography is not a genre of Geography, aiming to contribute to the reflection on what might give geographical meaning to the geography-gender relationship. To this end, we have conducted an epistemological and ontological review of nature, body, and technique, considering them as important mediations in this relationship, which, dialectically, can reproduce as forms of spatial being-in-the-world. In this sense, this article poses the ethical-political challenge that future geographies consider gender issues as intrinsic to an anti-capitalist project, in which our being-in-the-world with others allows us to exist as who we want to be.
