Interviews

DESCRIPTION AND SUBMISSION RULES - INTERVIEWS SECTION

Interviewing is a powerful tool in scientific research. The researchers-interviewers embark on a complex and significant activity when they decide to use them. The people being interviewed are invited to engage in dialogue because their voices have something thought-provoking to reveal. 

This section of the journal Ensaios de Geografia seeks, therefore, to publish dialogues mobilized by researchers as a methodological tool for the understanding of phenomena related to geographic science.

To download the template of the Interviews section for regular issues click here.

The authors/interviewers must produce an introductory text, pointing out its objectives, justifying its relevance, presenting the interviewee and indicating the date and place of its realization. The documents may contain up to 15 pages.

The interviews submitted to the journal will be analyzed by our Editorial Committee to verify their suitability to the scope of our journal.

Only one interview will be published per issue.

READINGS

DESCRIPTION AND SUBMISSION RULES - READINGS SECTION

The hegemonic discourses in contemporaneity are characterized by an excessive formal rigidity, a systematic rationality of the thinking and the doing, a statistical overvaluation of facts, a hierarchization of knowledge and of the subjects that produce it, as well as a notorious emptying of the contents and of the meanings of life and the automatic reproduction of the dominant readings.

There is an urgent need to democratize the speeches, the codes, the accesses, the production of knowledge, the isonomy of readings, of sciences, and of political-professional practices as constituents of an ethical, plural, and citizen society; therefore, a life immersed in poetry, colored by love, and filled with wisdom.

The Reading session of Essays in Geography invites dissonant voices and restless minds to dialogue with multiple forms-contents of seeing-being-feeling the/in the world. Works written in prose or poetry; short stories, chronicles, travel reports, films, and exhibitions are some examples of this session.

"Readings" summons us to come out of the identity-deleting omission of coparticipation in a world permeated with cruelty and alienation. Being and writing, we will transform the condition!

The approximation of subject and object of knowledge and the consequent valorization of feelings and subjectivity mediated by the sensitive domain of artistic-literary expressions will allow the subtlety of life to enrich the current academic density.

  • To download the template of the Readings section for the regular issues click here.

Attention: To ensure a blind peer review, the work must be submitted without identification of authorship, e-mail or institution.

 

  • To participate, the author must submit a work of his or her own authorship. Poems with a maximum of 5 pages and 20 pages for short stories/chronicles and other works preceded by the title. We accept only unpublished works.


Important: The file size should not exceed 4MB.

The presentation of a justification of the works submitted for evaluation in the Readings session is optional.

After receiving acceptance by the Editorial Board, resend the final version for publication as soon as possible. This must contain the full name of the author, the institution to which the author is affiliated, e-mail, ORCID id, city and state of origin, and a brief biography in a footnote.

- It is essential to link the ORCID id, updated registration (access to learn how to update) and brief biography in your profile

Visuals

DESCRIPTION AND SUBMISSION RULES - VISUALS SECTION

Smells, sensations, sounds, tastes and images are constituent elements of human spatiality and work as guides of strategies for the organization of lived space.

The senses compose a body memory where the experiences lived by the subjects are condensed, which are activated every time someone comes into contact with elements that mobilize our memories, making them a link between the past and future investments.

We believe that human spatiality can be narrated in different artistic expressions, and that is why the visualities session intends to summon and/or move people by means of visual artistic work, using as resources: drawings, paintings, engravings, sculptures, collages, etc. that suggest human spatiality.

The aim is to explore other senses in order to intervene in the daily relationship between society and space, summoning and/or moving through visual art.

 

 

- To download the template of the VISUALS section for the regular issues click here.

Attention: To ensure a blind peer review, the work must be submitted without identification of authorship, e-mail or institution, and must also have been inspected.
