Geography: Geopolitics of knowledge, Geographies of authoritarianism, Histories and Epistemologies of Knowledge and of Geographic Science

The research group entitled Geography: Epistemology, History and Environment is formed by geographers and other social scientists who are concerned with the question of geographical space and its representations, according to the assertion that the geographic space can be problematized in various forms and ways and independent of the line of formation or speculation. Thus, this group hopes to problematise issues relating to the history and epistemology of geography and the environmental issue, from a dialogue between geography, the humanities and the Earth Sciences. As an axis of discussion the group seeks to address the question of the formation of the geographical episteme from the cut of nature and how it was incorporated and transformed in the geographic debate and in the context of the philosophical formation of geography and human sciences. The immediate development of this debate is the issue of empirization and theoretical, methodological and modeling discussions in physical geography. Within this context, we seek to specify the debate by reference to geomorphology. Thus, works, colloquiums and seminars are being produced that seek to problematize and insert the question of nature in geography and physical geography within the philosophical, epistemological, methodological and even literary debate assessing the development of the same in terms of the constitution of the geographical structure and its developments in the environment and in the teaching of geography.
