Indeed, once accepted that the “tropics” were habitable at all—not always previously a given—questions then turned to for whom they were habitable.…”

“…Sobre os trópicos, uma distinção também foi criada em relação às regiões temperadas (Arnold, 1998(Arnold, , 2006Sutter, 2014). Desse modo, uniram-se regiões muito distantes e díspares entre si em projetos científicos, estéticos e políticos uniformizantes.…”
