The research presents ecofeminism as a theme as a contribution to national scientific research. Given the theme, the research configured as exploratory, with an empirical basis, aimed to identify the subjects, in any area of knowledge, in national scientific journals, which are being discussed from the perspective of ecofeminism. The methodology consisted of a survey and study of the specialized literature for theoretical support and data collection. For the collection, bibliographic searches were carried out on the Portal of Periodicals of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, aiming to collect the subjects of scientific articles from periodicals in Portuguese, through their titles, abstracts and keywords, in any area of knowledge that involved ecofeminism as a perspective. The results show little research covering ecofeminism as a perspective, with 11 articles identified, but it demonstrated the potential of ecofeminism as a vision on different subjects. Thus, the research infers, based on the results, that different societal issues involving gender and nature need to be further discussed from the point of view of ecofeminism, for bringing alternatives and understandings from the point of view of women, and reflects, in this sense, the need for more research that contemplates facts or phenomena at the national level, since Brazil has a historical and accentuated socio-environmental domination

In the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, debates about information entered the spotlight in Brazil, since fake news about the virus and science denial can lead to people’s death. It has been observed that the elevated number of shared “fake news”, even about such a delicate topic, contributed to the creation of a social environment of infodemia and misinformation. In this essay the proposal is to realize a reflection about the information/misinformation tension, powered by the popularization of the internet and social media. The focus of the empirical study is the called “Gabinete do Ódio” and the circulations associated with it that took place through the WhatsApp chat application. For this, we resort in methodological terms to Documentary Research (Gil, 2008), having as research resource on-line sites that provide the materiality of the investigation and videos broadcasted on TV news from Rede Globo with themes related to WhatsApp, Gabinete do Ódio and fake news. For the treatment of this material, the Analysis of Audiovisual Materiality (Coutinho, 2016; 2018) will be used, a research method that seeks to understand the complexities of TV journalistic content as a unit of text and paratext. Preliminary results point to the difficulties of identifying and measuring false content propagated on WhatsApp, being one of the most active spaces of the “Gabinete do Ódio”

In the knowledge dynamics, women's craft communities form a great ba: knowledge-sharing space. The objective of this article is to establish the dynamics of the process of knowledge construction and professional belonging in the Community of Practice of professional artisanal fisherwomen, in the region of Guaraqueçaba – PR – Brazil – in the light of the Actor-Network Theory, with an approximative approach to the SECI MODEL, a classic in the field of Knowledge Management. Applied, exploratory-descriptive and explanatory research was used as a methodology, with observant participation and mixed methods in the treatment of data, favoring the life stories, communal interactions and day-to-day activities of the involved fisherwomen. Findings: The network of human and non-human elements, the process of knowledge creation, was mapped establishing a comparison between the model proposed in this community and the SECI Model. It was confirmed that the SECI Model also applies outside formal organizations. In the analysis of communities of practice, the concept of communities of practice was expanded, in this context, to a community of women's craft. Research limitations: The shyness of the fisherwomen, the rainy weather not allowing for research or fieldwork, the slow pace of time on the way life passes in those communities; all these, require an adaptation from outsiders

I aim to share a reflection on the ecofeminist politics of care present in agroecological food production. This analysis is developed from an ecofeminist hermeneutics. I start from an interdisciplinary and pluri-epistemological literature review which challenges the andro-anthropocentric values that constitute the basis of global financial-capitalism. This economic system, which perpetuates logics of socio-political and economic power stemming from the patriarchal system and colonial ideology, is leading to irreversible destruction on a planetary scale. Ecofeminist knowledges and practices open possibilities for human society to reconnect with its earthly nature and consequently break with the economy of death present in the world today. I choose to direct my reading towards a politics of relational care with food insomuch as I perceive the existing interconnections and the possible transformations that food provides for the realization of an economy of life, countering the fatality that threatens the Earth community.

The climate crisis is a situation that highlights the environmental emergency of the planet related to extreme weather events and the way nature responds to the action of human destruction. It is above all a political issue as it involves ways of producing, living and dying. Faced with the crisis, or this specific crisis: what can the artist do? How does art relate to these issues? What images are possible in the face of a catastrophe? What articulations can we invent as artists or cultural workers? What alliances are needed to avoid the 6th. mass extinction, what is happening now? This text aims to present an experience, an attempt at refuge and creation.  The proposal brought together artistic and educational actions that blur the boundaries between art and climate activism, to imagine other possible worlds in the face of the catastrophe that Brazil is experiencing today. The project was designed mainly to take place at a distance, creating a platform for monthly meetings between groups from Brazil and other countries to think about "tasks" of proximity between art, life and art, art and planetary care. The proposals and tasks carried out by the participants were published on an online platform created especially for the project. Based on this experience, the text intends to point out some possible ways to think about art and its role in this crucial moment in the history of the planet.

This article presents the concept of situated knowledge developed by Donna Haraway as a possibility to transform the basic categories of library science and IC in light of the challenges of the Anthropocene and especially as an idea that contributes to the reduction of social inequalities through access to knowledge. cultural capital. Taking epistemological anarchism as an analytical framework and in dialogue with the proposals of intersectionality (Kimberlé Crenshaw; Patricia Hill Collins), situated knowledge (Donna Haraway) and scales justice (Nancy Fraser), we propose a series of reflections that can contribute to the reconfiguration of scientific disciplines from a critical perspective. Latin America and to redefine our position as social theorists

The truth regimes that were in force, although always contested, during the 20th century are being rapidly undermined by different factors: the growing influence of corporate interests in some branches of science, the reconfiguration of the public sphere by digital networks, which are also governed by oligopolistic profit logics, and the exploitation of the loss of shared referents by political interest groups, especially of the extreme right. The pandemic has accelerated this process, which threatens the possibilities of building democratic solutions to the multiple and civilizational crisis that human societies are experiencing

The article traces a genealogy of the Anthropocene imaginary of the last two centuries, through literary works, in search of tropes and cultural forms that shaped public perception on the subject. It starts from the hypothesis that these shared imaginaries concern both the lenses used to interpret current phenomena and actions, considering the interpretations of the past, as well as the definition of horizons of possibility. It selects and discusses pioneering science fiction authors (Verne, Wells), authors from the 1960s to contemporary literary production. It concludes that the capacity of narrative and artistic imagination of these works allows stimulating emotional, aesthetic and life experiences that allow a better understanding of the Anthropocene and its implications

Climate denialism has been understood, particularly by the vast majority of the scientific community and by environmentalist political actors as a mere manifestation of ignorance on the part of parts of the population. Who did not have access to knowledge? However, by acting diffusely and almost always in a typically hidden way (that is, difficult to see by the “common man,” that is, by most of the population), the lobbyists and public opinion makers who conveyed the denialist discourse on climate change have, so far, been able to enjoy broad freedom to act by disseminating their speech to the general population. Thus, this type of propagandist activity often has a similar (or even greater) space in the media than that given, for example, to scientists. In this context, in a typically critical dialogue with climate denialism, the documentary film “The campaign against the climate”, released in 2020, brings the associated financing means out of the shadows. Particularly, the role of the fossil fuel lobby is analysed in detail. Through comparative analyses and in-depth systemic bibliographic review and extensive digressions focused on the documentary in question, it aims to establish and analyse the interrelationships between the hidden strategies of this industry and climate change mitigation. It was possible to infer, as a result, how complex and challenging it has been, even in the context of multilateral negotiations led by the United Nations, to overcome the obstacles established by the Big Oil’s lobbying activity and, finally, mitigate climate change

This paper presents a critical perspective on the concept of the Anthropocene from a political ecology perspective, emphasizing the inequalities in the production of the catastrophic situation of climate emergency. Based on indigenous epistemologies, it discusses the relationship between decolonization and ways out of the crisis. Based on a research project that brought together indigenous art and mapping of environmental conflicts, we focus on the case of indigenous retaking of territories in southern Bahia and the reconstruction of the Atlantic Rainforest through the work of three indigenous artists: Arissana Pataxó, Glicéria Tupinambá and Olinda Muniz Wanderley (Yawar Tupinambá)
