Juxtapositions of the common food: exploring agrifood activisms in Brazil through popular communication and decolonial thought

Abstract

In this seminar, Fernanda, in conversation with discussants Rodrigo Morelato and Leonardo Custódio, discusses the progress on her doctoral thesis, which explores the interplay between popular communication, decolonial thought and agroecology praxis in Brazil. Centered on quilombola and Indigenous thinking in dialogue with more-than-human theory, her research investigates how communication practices and agrifood activisms in the city of São Paulo inform each other and advance the formation of material and epistemological territories of urban agrifood sovereignty – what the student is calling preliminarily agrifood juxtapositions.

Discussants

  • Rodrigo Morelato (External), Professor at the Federal University of Southern Bahia (UFSB), Brazil
  • Leonardo Custódio (Internal), Associate Professor Communication for Development, School of Arts and Communication, Malmö University
