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.

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.

In this dissertation, I investigate the intellectual context of geographic science that may have influenced the use of spatial description in the literature of Rosa. The objective of the research is to point out the writer’s studies about the country’s geography, identifying the main works and authors in the geographic field that are present in Guimarães Rosa’s personal library. I start from an alternative historiography of geographical thought based on Foucault’s archaeological perspective and Berdoulay’s contextual approach to identify the circles of affinity that make up what I am calling Rosa’s geographic studies. The analysis of these circles revealed a fruitful dialogue with the institutional Geography of the first half of the 20th century that contributed to the representation of the sertão as nature.

Early warning systems are the main focus of this work, as they serve as tools for preparedness in disaster response. The research centers on the analysis of natural disaster warning systems adopted in Brazil — a topic of growing importance due to the increasing number of occurrences in the country. The general objective of this dissertation is to analyze the natural disaster warning systems implemented in Brazilian territory, characterizing and listing these systems with a focus on the normative evolution of risk management aimed at disaster reduction. This includes special attention to Laws 12.608/12 and 14.750/23, which constitute the regulatory framework of the National Policy for Civil Protection and Defense. In addition, the dissertation seeks to understand warning systems from an organizational perspective and to discuss the topic in light of the concept of natural disaster. To achieve this goal, the following specific objectives were established: first, to inventory the natural disaster warning systems adopted in Brazil; second, to survey the monitoring centers of federal agencies; third, to identify the legal and regulatory framework of the warning systems in Brazil, pinpointing the main relevant laws, ordinances, and decrees; and finally, to identify the existence of monitoring centers in Brazilian states and the Federal District, mapping the types of warnings adopted by federal and state institutions. The method used is qualitative and includes a literature review, analysis of agreements and technical cooperation among federal agencies, and a survey of monitoring centers for natural disasters across all Brazilian states and the Federal District. The research results provide an overview of the warning systems used in the country, highlighting the lack of standardization and suggesting strategies for the normalization and harmonization of information and alert levels, with the aim of building a universal language accessible to the population.
