The main objective of this article is to raise questions regarding the complex interactions between local and creative economies. To do so, a review of the literature dealing with the creative economy from a geographical perspective is carried out, with emphasis on authors such as Richard Florida, Amaral Filho, Ana Fani Carlos and Milton Santos. Special attention is given to approaches that address the issues of mode of production, trajectories and other characteristics associated with the identity of the place that affect the development of creative economies. Also treated are those approaches that deal with the many ventures associated with the creative economy and how labour relations manifest themselves in geographic space. Also noteworthy are the studies of Economic Geography that seek to understand the relations between creative economy and society based on principles that emphasize the importance of local. Finally, given the importance of factors such as the structure and spatial dynamics of networks, territoriality and locality, the relevance of studies that address the creative economy from a geographic perspective is explored, especially by its capacity to explain how the different realities or manifestations of this type of economy reflect in inequalities and conditions that at the same time characterize the place and mark the differences between the localities.

The objective of this article is to analyse the contextualisation of the central elements that influenced the constitution of the Mangaba Collection of Sergipe (MCM), as well as its purposes, besides the discussion of the main achievements related to the mangaba pickers. The Mangaba Collection of Sergipe (MCM) it was created in 2007 on the need to defend the extraction of mangaba on the coast. The organizational purpose of this traditional community segment was determined by the reduction of the ecosystems in which the mangaba collectors are used for the development of their extractive practices. After the MCM training, selfrecognition as a mango picker was highlighted. Another highlight is the self-organization of this social movement, which consists in the struggle for the remaining areas of mangabeiras, which are considered by extractors of mangaba as source of income and reproduction of unique knowledge due to the interdependence with the environment. For the development of this work was based on bibliographical research through primary and secondary documents that depict the foundation and the conceptions of the Mangaba Collection of Sergipe.

The current article is earmarked to decode Globalization’s contradictory peroration, identifying determined subjects of hoarding on capital’s globalization. It is perceived that the capital’s crisis hatched in the second half of XX century, on account of profits’ relative rate decrement, enabled a joint of disturbances on capitalism’s operation which engrafted a new tonic into the process of hoarding in a worldwide scale. Whereas that has not meant a current phase of the capitalist economy but the recrudescence of the new expropriating face upon the ruling imperialism.

This paper results from the admission of the subject and object as a living, unitary organism. Although it seems like reductionism to objectify the Earth and its characters - animate and inanimate – it fits here to conceive it as an artefact of greed, curiosity and concern for the researcher. Here, the coveted object assumes the failed form of the itabirites - and sometimes formed in a wave shape form on the dolomites - of the Serra do Gandarela, more precisely the André do Mato Dentro, Santa Bárbara-MG. Although it’s inserted in Belo Horizonte’s metropolitan zone, there, the dance of the bees in the flowering time still produces honey; the main stream, Maria Casimira, still meanders through the houses; bats, crickets and frogs still orchestrate the Sunday Mass. Considered subaltern by the technique’s and capital’s eyes, the community experiences threats of propagation of the capitalist logic in their built territory. We seek to discuss the notion of yard in this plot, and the concepts of identity, place, and imagination. The basic elucidative movement - exposed by the field experience - consisted in the perception that the yard in André do Mato Dentro extrapolates the fences of the dwelling, of the garden and of the orchard, to embrace the crests, the valleys, the watercourses, the legends, constituents of that folk’s symbolic system.

This article focuses on the theme of gender identities and the meaning of their configuration in the spaces of the education and human socialization, which here will be conceptualized as communicative actions. The text is based on a perspective that understands that the same processes of construction of gender identities refer to processes that are due to diffuse, unconscious and semiconscious dynamics, however, requiring an active role of the subjects in the construction, interpretation and social reconstruction of the contents of gender, active role that corresponds to subjects in the course of educational actions as communicative spaces that follow the dynamics of symbolic mediated interactions.

Family farming plays a huge socioeconomic role, contributing to the generation of employment, redistribution of income, food safety of the country and the construction of sustainable development. Given this relevance, this study aims to identify the determinants of the family farming competitiveness in the 188 Northeastern micro regions and to measure a competitive performance index of the family farming (IDAF) in such microregions. In order to accomplish these proposed goals, the multivariate statistics methods of factor analysis. Data from the Agriculture & Livestock Farming Census (2006), published on the website of the Brazilian Geography and Statistics Institute (IBGE), have been used. The results indicate that the majority of the Northeastern microregions exhibited low level of competitive performance of family farming, taking the established parameters into consideration.

The agriculture of Ceará suffered significant metamorphosis, especially during the XX and XXI century. The cashew culture was one of the main agricultural cultures developed in Ceará, it is featured as second place on exportation, and it has given the estate a space as the biggest cashew nuts producer of the country, responsible for almost 50% of all the national production. The main point of the article is to discuss the beginning and the development of cearenses cashew culture and to introduce the advances and permanence linked to cashew family producers of Beberibes county in the estate of Ceará. For such, the methodological procedures adopted for the construction of this work were segmented in three steps: bibliographic research, secondary data survey and fieldwork, this last one, was realized at the countryside of Beberibe with quiz applications in family farming units. The preliminary results pointed to the partial insertion of important novelties capable of increasing the productivity of cashews grown by this category of producers.

Contemporary slavery, also called labour analogous to slavery, debt forced labour, degrading, compulsory or peonage (ILO, 1930), appears in society as the most depressing labour activity of the twenty-first century and must be understood mainly in the light of the concentrating, excluding and violent movement of capitalist (re)production. In rural areas, the Brazilian model of modernization of agriculture brought with it the benefits of science, the intensification of the recreation of these anachronistic relations of work and, consequently, the increase of levels of precariousness of free workers. In this sense, the aim is, from the data analysis of the Pastoral Commission of the Land about slave labour in Bahia (2003-2016), to understand the relation of the occurrence of this phenomenon with the advancement of agribusiness in the state.
