Índios e Espaços: visibilidade e protagonismo históricos - Chamada para publicação

The history about indigenous people is a field of studies that has raised important debates. This
theme is present in many dissertations and thesis written in the main Universities in Brazil, also in
symposiums and round-table discussions in national and international events. Although the territory - and its
distinct social and theoretical-methodological developments - is usually a strand indispensable in the
relationship of indigenous peoples with their distinct identities, struggles for rights and original recognition
etc., it is necessary to discuss deeper into other dimensions of space as a historical wider category.
Increasingly, academics discuss about the indigenous issue and the acting of these peoples in the
societies in which they heretofore lived and today inhabiting, emphasizing that these groups are not like as
“traditional” and essentialist historiography perspective used to point out like passive peoples, but
protagonists of history. The political action and the growing articulation we witnessed in recent years
corroborate these studies. The examples are brazilians leaders traveling the world denouncing the criminal
burnings and murders from their relatives to the global community. There are multiple operating spaces for
indigenous peoples, occupying universities and schools, where the number of students and professors raised,
the municipal and state calendars with their festivities, the politics and several other spaces in which they are
living and being discussed about the contexts of their communities.
In this sense, this dossier will receive papers that research the myriad of spatialities in which
discusses about indigenous groups in Brazil and other social groups led by indigenous people around the
world. The second volume of 2019 from Espacialidades Journal intends to publish articles about indigenous
peoples: their local / global contexts and their role in society. The journal discussion intends to demonstrate
the concepts and methods that permeate the spatiality: whether in territories, in school spaces, in literary
spaces, cinema, in sacred or mythical spaces, in the landscapes produced by and through these groups, and
among others.
Also, it will be accepted papers in other subjects that follows the scope of this journal, about
spatiality concepts (territory, space, place, landscape, displacement, domains, borders, horizon, etc) and its
multiple relation with time and humans. Furthermore, it will be accepted reviews, interviews, translations,
transcription documents about spatiality concepts.
