The Postgraduate Program in Territories and Cultural Expressions in the Cerrado (TECCER), master’s degree level, of the Universidade Estadual de Goiás (UEG) currently has four Working Groups (GTs):
GT 1 and GT 2: Line 1 - TERRITORIAL DYNAMICS IN THE CERRADO
GT 3 and GT 4: Line 2 - KNOWLEDGE AND CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS OF THE CERRADO
Each Working Group (GT) develops specific studies and research.
GT 1 - Globalization, Power and Territory - GPT
SYLLABUS:
The GT intends to carry out reflections based on the following themes: globalization, power and territory. It is understood that the phenomena that have the Cerrado as a stage have links with global processes, their agents and power networks, their fixed and their flows. Such phenomena, both physical and human, both rural and urban, make up a totality, bringing together economic, historical, legal, political and geographical aspects of great importance and which unfold from a comprehensive and complex circulation of goods, services, people and ideas. Thus, researches that deal with a quite diversified range of themes are of interest, which must have territory and local/global relations as central elements, namely: the political economy of globalization; the cross-border relations between the Cerrado and other biomes; tourism, territory and globalization, the environment as a world problem; agents, territory and power relations; the State and territorial policies; Power and migratory flows; Power, collective health and work processes, institutions and legal discussions, and, finally, the geopolitics of the Cerrado and the world system.
