Título: Rituais de resistência, pertencimento e identidade: reflexões a partir do basquete de rua em quadras públicas na Zona Norte do Rio de Janeiro Autor: Mendes, Daniel Pires Primeiro orientador: Abranches Júnior, Nilton Abstract: This study examined the significance of small, everyday practices that shape rituals and, consequently, preserve cultures. We observed gestures, language, clothing, and other identity-forming aspects in street basketball, and how these manifests in the daily life of public basketball courts in Rio de Janeiro’s North Zone. The study drew on the author’s 20 years of experience within street basketball culture, a culture created and sustained by Afro-diasporic, indigenous, and Afro-indigenous foundations. The general objective of the research was to reflect on street basketball as a ritual of resistance. To this end, the following specific objectives were undertaken: to present the sport of street basketball as a promoter of a culture of belonging to a specific place, to describe the locus of resistance where these rituals materialize, and to discuss the construction of the relationship between the regulars and the courts through the rituals that take place there. A literature review and detailed field descriptions were conducted, analyzing images, technical and scientific publications, social media, and the daily life of the observed courts. On the courts in Penha's IAPI and Jardim América, the formation of identities and a sense of belonging was observed through daily rituals of resistance in street basketball, which are part of the local culture of these courts. Street basketball played in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro is therefore considered a means of fostering identities of resistance through emotional connection, community building, and the strengthening of bonds of care.

Título: Geografia e gênero: o papel das mulheres na economia do cuidado em Acari Autor: Lopes, Julia de Freitas Primeiro orientador: Machado, Mônica Sampaio Abstract: We discussed the female theme in Geography based on a survey in the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel) in Postgraduate courses in Geography. We observed that these productions are decentralized, as, proportionally to the number of postgraduate programs, the Central-West and North regions are the most expressive on the topic. Women demonstrate greater guidance and written production on the topic when compared to men. We gathered the works into categories: From the analysis of the titles, abstracts and keywords, we realized that the research that addresses the topic of Women is quite varied. We then organize eight categories: Work; Female Empowerment; Culture; Violence against women; Migration; Health; and Socioeconomic Condition. Demonstrating a strong connection between discussions of Gender in Geography and studies on Work. Women are the main theme in the analyzes of most of those who seek to highlight the gendered space. We identify the contributions of feminist economists to the discussion of the economy of care, reproductive work and the theory of social reproduction, demonstrating possible relationships between the knowledge of Geography and Economics with the purpose of using reproductive work in geographic discussions. We analyzed data on other forms of work and reasons why young people stopped studying, made available by IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics). In which we observed that, in general, women dedicate more hours to unpaid and unrecognized reproductive work than men, which is why they have fewer hours available to dedicate to paid work activities. Finally, we sought to learn a little more about a specific group of women, those who live in Acari. To do this, we held a discussion about favela territory and Acari. We also carried out a survey of the registration data of students at Escola Municipal Monte Castelo, in which 40% of students are residents of this favela. We applied a questionnaire to a sample made up of 58 women living in Acari. Most of them are responsible for supporting their families, half receive government assistance and realize that they face difficulties because they are women.

Título: Nunca não é Carnaval: uma geografia da cidade à luz das fanfarras carnavalizadas cariocas Autor: Ferreira, Gabriela Calafate Primeiro orientador: Andrade, Julia Santos Cossermelli de Abstract: This text focuses on carnival brass bands in Rio de Janeiro, based on the hypothesis that they constitute an analytical lens for understanding the city's spatial processes linked to its artistic activities. We propose this term to address the movement, given the ontological clash that runs through it, arguing that it mobilizes carnivalization as a playful, entertaining, and performative process—marked by imagination, satire, and corporeality. The research aims to investigate how these musical practices reveal, challenge and reproduce power relations and spatial differentiation that structure the city. It argues that their expansion, concentrated in the administrative Center-South, highlights some of the rationalities governing Rio's urban planning, as well as ambiguous logics regarding the use of public spaces and the production of carnival art. The study seeks to understand the growth of the movement and its relationship with Rio's street carnival, examining the dynamics and festive technologies of appropriation of public spaces, as well as the contemporary demands of the participants, the urban elements that condition the arrangement of the festivities, and the ways in which the social markers of the revelers reverberate in the celebration. To achieve this, the methodology combines fieldwork, semi-structured interviews, and the use of online questionnaires. Analyzing the different discourses of those involved, it is demonstrated that the expansion and consolidation of these brass bands do not stem from a single factor, but from a set of interconnected investments. These involved responses to bureaucracy by the Rio de Janeiro City Hall, the creation of musical classes, the organization of an artistic festival within these bands, the tactical use of digital social networks, and the resumption of collective activities after a pandemic period. We argue that, through carnivalization, this movement establishes dynamics that are distinct from everyday orders. Their performances mobilize common signs that, in addition to conferring a shared identity to the bands, transform the relationships between form and content in the urban environment and produce ephemeral territorialities. At the same time, the arrangement of these events also reflects disparities between the Administrative Zones of Rio de Janeiro with regard to state action and public infrastructure and services, both associated with the race and social class of the revelers and residents of the metropolis. In this way, carnival brass bands undermine some hegemonic structures of urban production, but also reflect, create and/or strengthen many others that appear more rigid. They are, therefore, a key to understanding the city as a synthesis of social dialectics. The analysis of this festival, alongside cultural and urban studies, illuminates yet another layer through which the city is made up of a set of distinct land uses, and reinforces musical practices as notable geographical information.

Título: Conflitos socioambientais e territorialidades camponesas no Parque Nacional Farallones de Cali: estudo de caso da trilha de Peñas Blancas Autor: Aramburo, Natalia Sanchez Primeiro orientador: Fernandes, Ulisses da Silva Abstract: This dissertation focuses on the analysis of socio-environmental and territorial conflicts that occur in protected areas with dominant conservation models or pristine nature, where peasant communities live, as is the case in Colombia. In this country, there are 64 areas of the National System of Protected Areas under the responsibility of the National Parks of Colombia, where, in accordance with current legislation, only conservation, recovery and control, research, education, recreation and cultural activities are allowed in these areas, which means that productive activities such as agriculture or extractive activities such as logging and fishing are prohibited. In this sense, for the communities, the environmental authorities that regulate the management of protected areas prevent them from carrying out their traditional productive practices, which affects their subsistence and reproduction as a social group. This dissertation analyzes this problem based on a case study of the peasant territorialities of Peñas Blancas, located in the rural area of Cali and overlapping the Farallones de Cali National Natural Park since 1968, formerly the Cali River Forest Reserve since 1938, in relation to the socio-environmental and territorial conflicts generated by the declaration of these areas. The case study is based mainly on the theoretical and political proposal of Political Ecology and takes up the following categories of analysis: territory, territoriality, socio-environmental and territorial conflicts, peasantry. The research fulfilled the objective of reconstructing this history based on the analysis of the information gathered in multiple field works, interviews with inhabitants of Peñas Blancas, officials of the National Parks of Colombia and a documentary review of institutional archives of the environmental authorities that have managed the protected area and of the community.; Esta disertación se enfoca en los análisis de los conflictos socioambientales y territoriales que se dan en áreas protegidas con modelos de conservación dominante o de naturaleza prístina, en las que habitan comunidades campesinas como es el caso de Colombia. En este país existen 64 áreas del Sistema Nacional de Áreas Protegidas a cargo de Parques Nacionales Naturales de Colombia, en las que de acuerdo con la legislación vigente solo se permiten actividades de: conservación, de recuperación y control, investigación, educación, recreación y de cultura, es decir las actividades productivas como la agricultura o extractivas como la tala de madera y la pesca se encuentran prohibidas. En ese sentido, para las comunidades las autoridades ambientales que regulan el manejo de las áreas protegidas les impide realizar sus prácticas productivas tradicionales lo que afecta su subsistencia y reproducción como grupo social. En esta disertación se analiza esta problemática a partir de un estudio de caso de las territorialidades campesinas de la vereda Peñas Blancas ubicada en la zona rural de Cali y traslapada en su totalidad con el Parque Nacional Natural Farallones de Cali desde 1968, anteriormente Reserva Forestal del Río Cali desde 1938 en relación con los conflictos socioambientales y territoriales generados a partir de la declaración de éstas áreas. El estudio de caso acoge la propuesta teórica y política de la Ecología Política principalmente y retoma las categorías de análisis; territorio, territorialidad, conflictos socioambientales y territoriales, campesinado. La investigación cumplió el objetivo de reconstruir esta historia a partir del análisis de la información recogida en múltiples trabajos de campo, entrevistas a habitantes de Peñas Blancas, funcionarios de Parques Nacionales de Colombia y una revisión documental de archivos institucionales de las autoridades ambientales que han manejado el área protegida y de la comunidad.
