São Paulo/Brazil from 9-12 December 2025
After the four International Conferences of Anarchist Geographers and Geographies organized in Reggio Emilia (Italy, 2017), Rabastens (France, 2019), Oaxaca (Mexico, 2021) and Córdoba (Argentina, 2023), the fifth will take place in São Paulo (Brazil) on 9-12 December 2025.
This location is very significant because São Paulo, USP and more generally Brazil, have a tradition of reflection and organization of international conferences on historical figures of anarchist geography. Thus, the International Conferences on Elisée Reclus (2011) and on the centenary of the death of Peter Kropotkin (2021), were organized by the Terra Livre Library with the support of the Department of Geography of the University of São Paulo.
For this fifth edition, we invite you to submit abstracts mainly (but not exclusively) on the following thematic axes:
1. Practices of anarchist struggles and emancipatory spatialities
2. Anarchist pedagogies and other libertarian practices of education
3. Native peoples, black and indigenous movements and the challenges of
decoloniality
4. Environmental collapse and other relations between societies and natures
5. Body-territory. Gender, space and sexuality
6. Counter-cartographies
7. Geographies of abolition: Prisons, borders, states
8. Other histories of geography
9. Other histories and geographies of anarchism
10. Space in class struggles and spaces of class struggles
11. Transnational and internationalist perspectives of anarchist geographies
