“…Urban geographers have worked together on urban regeneration projects in historical city centres and urban landscapes of retail and consumption in Brazil and Portugal (Fernandes and Sposito, 2013). Social and cultural geographers have collaborated in studies on the international and urban mobility of migrants (Buhr and McGarrigle, 2017; Iorio and Fonseca, 2018), and the geographies of sexuality in postcolonial settings (Silva and Vieira, 2010, 2014). Health geographers have worked together in studies on the spatial variation of infant mortality (Miranda et al, 2014; Faria and Santana, 2016).…”

This article provides the first overview of the dialogues between Brazilian and Portuguese geography throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. We expand current debates about marginal geographies in the growing field of global histories of geography by arguing that the Luso-Brazilian case reveals how international epistemic communities can be formed between semiperipheral geographic communities. We call attention to the role that science funding plays in the making of epistemic communities in semiperipheral spaces where political instability prevails, by allowing the creation of platforms of dialogue between geographic academies, such as international conferences, scientific journals, and research projects.

Fucking law (a new methodological movement)

This paper sets the groundwork for a new methodological movement. I claim that methodological strategies must take as their object the laws with found sexual identity, or rather should be 'fucking with' law by creatively confronting, occupying and agitating limiting ethical frameworks that control access to the field. The movement is ethnographic, since it finds research ethics and 'straight' academic space' to be where these rules are the most harmful in limiting access to the field, for female researchers in particular. The approach (but also to some extent the target) is Deleuzian and post-Deleuzian philosophy whose theoretical leaps have sought to shift and cause slippage in laws of sexual identity. However, when these laws are tested by researchers proposing to access the field, specifically ethnographically and autoethnographically, it is clear they have not 'slipped' at all. This is clear through the questions raised by ethics committees. Fucking law therefore becomes a methodological movement intimately connecting ethical agendas and sex as an encounter in the field. I claim the methodological movement of 'fucking' law captures, or at least attempts to capture, the slipperiness of the body, the encounter, the research project and sex itself. The movement that is 'fucking law' is essential in agitating and occupying not only philosophy, but limiting institutional research agendas and their ethical frameworks. The implications of 'Fucking Law' will be necessarily unpredictable, but the main practical and connected social implication is a questioning as to why more women are not practically questioning arguably one of the biggest questions: the ethics of sexuality. Fucking law argues for the questioning of these laws with bodies, and experimenting with philosophies which underpin and create institutional ethical rules.
