  Utopias and collective dystopias in rural worlds: Contestation, experimentation, evasion

  "Civilisations", volume 70

  The investment in the rural world by anti-establishment communities is not new. The strategy of withdrawal and distancing from places where power is centralised has already been observed by sociologists, anthropologists and historians at different times and places around the world. People who decide to organise their daily lives and modes of production collectively are motivated by different aspirations. Utopian collectives are also defended by their protagonists as places for experimentation with societal alternatives, whether they concern modes of governance, agricultural techniques, gender relations or the organisation of work. The objective of this issue is to grasp their "creative" potential, as well as the social values and contradictions they promote. This issue is part of a multidisciplinary approach.

  Indigenous geographies in Brazil

  Confins journal, theme issue – December 2021

  Ce dossier pour la revue franco-brésilienne Confins cherche à mettre en évidence la manière dont les débats en cours au sujet de la construction de l’espace et de concepts tels que « territoire » et « territorialité » peut contribuer à approfondir la compréhension des réalités territoriales des peuples autochtones au Brésil. Au travers de travaux fondés sur des situations territoriales variées, et ancrés dans des champs thématiques et théoriques divers, tant de la géographie que de disciplines connexes, nous souhaitons permettre un rapprochement et un dialogue fertile autour d’analyses comparatives amenant à mieux comprendre les géographies autochtones au Brésil.
