MORE-THAN-REPRESENTATIONAL THEORIES IN GEOGRAPHY: PROBLEMATIZING THE DIALECTIC BETWEEN REPRESENTATION AND PRESENTATION
This article seeks to recover Nigel Thrift’s contributions to a “Geography of what happens”, emphasizing his problematization of more-than-representational theories. It also aims to focus on the affinities between phenomenological and more-than-representational approaches, in order to deepen the dialectic between presentation and representation towards a reflection on how a “Geography of what happens” should be based on the body and corporeality to account for the world as event and movement, based on examples from the field of performing arts. It attempts to reflect on the methodological consequences that can unfold/envision for research in human geography, and more particularly in the field of cultural geography, of the dialectic between presentation and representation and how more-than-representational theories can add new elements to the phenomenological/ontological approaches of humanist geography. Finally, I speculate about what the dialogue between Geography and Art indicates as a path towards a cultural approach that takes into account the body and corporeality in our research processes.

MUDANÇAS RECENTES DE USO E OCUPAÇÃO DO SOLO EM UMA BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA AMAZÔNICA: o caso do igarapé Santos, Tucuruí - Sudeste Paraense (Amazônia Oriental)
O artigo analisa as mudanças espaço-temporais da cobertura e uso e ocupação do solo da bacia hidrográfica do Igarapé Santos por meio da classificação digital. A metodologia seguiu as seguintes etapas: aquisição de dados vetoriais, processamento dos dados e mapas de pedologia, geologia e geomorfologia; avaliação das áreas degradadas no perímetro da bacia incluindo dados de classes dos mapas (1990 a 2020) e a evolução antrópica ao longo destes períodos (sobreposição ponderada de classe dos mapas). A área urbanizada aumentou gradualmente nos anos analisados, evidenciando a heterogeneidade da paisagem. A dinâmica do uso e cobertura do solo estão baseadas na consolidação das áreas urbanizadas, uma vez que a área urbana aumentou de tamanho, restando apenas pequenos mosaicos fragmentados de vegetação florestal. Nas áreas rurais, constatou-se um progressivo aumento das áreas de floresta nativa, refletindo o cumprimento das políticas públicas municipais previstas na Política Municipal de Meio Ambiente e Recursos Naturais.

Overview of economic and industrial health complexes around the world: an analysis based on Carlos G. Gadelha's proposal
The article proposes to identify the distribution of industrial health complexes around the world based on Carlos Gadelha's formulation. The scope is limited to the technical-productive structure, without fully covering national health systems. To this end, it articulates three main axes: the flows of productive inputs that make up the complex, the corporate topology of large pharmaceutical and medtech companies, and innovation indicators, such as technology parks, clusters, and patents. Finally, a relationship between industrial health economic complexes and spatial health production circuits is established. The result is an analytical framework that allows for the identification of different degrees of consolidation of complexes in different territories, without attempting to constitute a ranking or exhaustive classification.

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.

Indigenous peoples in the Pantanal: demands for ethnic tourism
The Pantanal, located in the center of South America, extends across Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. The Pantanal territory is home to indigenous, quilombola, and riverside communities who, with the expansion of tourism starting in the 1970s, saw favorable conditions for participating in this market. In the development of the Pantanal area for tourism, different indigenous peoples aim to expand their participation in the activity. The pursuit of implementing tourism has revealed obstacles, such as a lack of visibility, difficulty of access to the villages, and an absence of dialogue with productive sectors, which points to the importance of analyzing the way these communities have been operating in this sector. Through field research, direct observation and dialogue with local interlocutors, and with geography, tourism geography, and tourism anthropology as the theoretical framework, the trajectories and expectations of local groups concerning tourism were identified, and correlated challenges were analyzed.

Distancing and approximations between Geography and Psychology in the study of religion: theoretical-methodological assumptions and possibilities of dialogue
This article arises from the observation, in the analysis of studies in the Geography of Religion, of the inexistence of consistent approximations of the geographic science with Psychology in general and, more incisively, with the Psychology of Religion in particular. Our objective is twofold: to present the historical and theoretical-methodological conjunctures for the mismatch between these sciences in the study of religion and constructing theoretically how an approach with Psychology can enrich geographical reflections. To do this task, it’s necessary to highlight the common sieve through which both sciences can dialogue: through the religious experience that reciprocally resonates the spatial and psychic dynamics of the religious phenomenon. In this scope, we follow the phenomenological-existential perspective that outlines internal currents in both Psychology and Geography of Religion

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.

Impact of pineapple monoculture on the preservation of fruit species native to the Caatinga and the environmental perception of farmers and public agents in Itaberaba/BA
The article addresses the relevance of native fruit species in the Caatinga ecosystem and their interaction with socio-environmental dynamics in Itaberaba, Bahia. The region is notable for fruits such as ouricuri, umbu, wild passion fruit, and jabuticaba, which have high nutritional value, benefiting both the human population and local fauna, especially during water scarcity periods. Ouricuri is vital for community subsistence, while other species generate income and recover degraded areas, strengthening ecosystem services. However, pineapple monoculture restricts the distribution of these native fruits, harming socio-environmental diversity. The article analyzes the importance of rescuing and preserving these species in the Caatinga of Itaberaba. Using a qualitative-quantitative methodology, including literature review and field research, the study assessed the impacts of pineapple monoculture on the ecosystem and local communities, as well as residents' environmental awareness. The results indicate a preference for agricultural diversification and sustainable practices to balance economic development and environmental conservation.

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.

BRICS and Astropolitics: Governance Challenges in a Multipolar Space Order
This study explores the convergence between astropolitics, smart governance, and technological sovereignty within the BRICS framework, analyzing the impacts of these interactions on international relations and urban management. The research examines how BRICS countries integrate advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence and big data, to enhance the interoperability of geoinformation systems and environmental monitoring, offering innovative solutions to emerging challenges in outer space. Through a comparative analysis of the bloc's heterogeneous public policies, the potential of the Glonass and Beidou systems as central axes of spatial articulation within the BRICS is identified. The discussion also addresses how these initiatives influence space security, sustainability, and the formulation of global space governance norms. The conclusion argues that the creation of a smart space governance body by the BRICS could solidify the bloc's position as a strategic actor in global astropolitics, fostering a multilateral and inclusive approach that offers an alternative to the traditional dominance of Western powers.

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.

The mobilization of the geographical component in the construction of David Harvey's Marxism
This article aims to discuss how David Harvey incorporates the geographical element into his Marxist thinking, taking as a parameter the author’s first decade of Marxist production, the main synthesis of which is the publication of The Limits of Capital. The context of the turn of the 1970s has been analyzed, marked by significant political and cultural effervescence and a structural transformation in the dynamics of capitalist accumulation and its consequences in academia, with David Harvey's transition from neopositivism to Marxism being a milestone. This study concluded that David Harvey accessed Marxism from the urban problem. However, the author adds a geographical dimension to Marx’s theory of accumulation and the crises of capitalism and its unfolding in the historical geography of capitalism, guided by uneven geographical development. In this way, Harvey is included in the universe of authors who have sought to formulate a Marxist theory of Geography.

Agricultural fairs in Brazil and France as agents of cooperation circles in space
This article addresses the main international agricultural fairs held in Brazil and France, highlighting their role as elements of the circles of cooperation in space within the different productive spatial circuits of the field in both countries. We highlight the importance of temporary geographical proximity in the current technical-scientific and informational period, seeking to understand the function of these fairs in the contemporary scenario of geographical fragmentation of production, internationalization of the economy and growing demand for the circulation of information and knowledge. In this context, the transformations in the geographical space of Brazilian and French socio-spatial formations are analyzed, considering how globalized agricultural trade and international fairs connect local and global dimensions through the international division of labour.

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.
