- Abstract:
- Abstract: This paper argues for a rediscovery and reassessment of the contributions that humanistic approaches can make to critical and radical geographies. Based on an exploration of the archives of Anne Buttimer (1938–2017) and drawing upon Paulo Freire's notion of conscientização (awareness of oppression accompanied by direct action for liberation), a concept that inspired the International Dialogue Project (1977–1988), I explore Buttimer's engagement with radical geographers and geographies. My main argument is that Buttimer's notions of "dialogue" and "catalysis", which she put into practice through international and multilingual networking, should be viewed as theory‐praxes in a relational and Freirean sense. In extending and putting critically in communication literature on radical pedagogies, transnational feminism and the "limits to dialogue", this paper discusses Buttimer's unpublished correspondence with geographers such as David Harvey, William Bunge, Myrna Breitbart, Milton Santos and others, and her engagement with radical geographical traditions like anarchism, repositioning "humanism" vis‐à‐vis the fields of critical and radical geography. Resumo: Esse artigo defende a redescoberta e reavaliação das contribuições que as abordagens humanísticas podem proporcionar às geografias criticas e radicais.

Resumo: Esse artigo defende a redescoberta e reavaliação das contribuições que as abordagens humanísticas podem proporcionar às geografias criticas e radicais. Baseado numa exploração sistemática dos arquivos de Anne Buttimer (1938‐2017) e inspirado pela ideia de conscientização (consciência da opressão acompanhada pela ação direita para libertação) de Paulo Freire, uma ideia que norteou o International Dialogue Project (1977‐1988), exploro as conexões de Buttimer com os geógrafos e as geografias radicais. Meu argumento principal é que as noções de "diálogo" e "catálise" expressadas e colocadas em prática por Buttimer através de suas redes internacionais e multilíngues, deve ser entendido como teoria‐práxis num sentido relacional e Freiriano. Enriquecendo e pondo criticamente em relação literatura sobre pedagogias radicais, feminismo transnacional e os "limites ao diálogo", este artigo discute as correspondências inéditas de Buttimer com geógrafos como David Harvey, William Bunge, Myrna Breitbart, Milton Santos e outros, e o compromisso dela com tradições geográficas radicais como o anarquismo, recolocando o "humanismo" em relação aos âmbitos das geografias criticas e radicais. … (more)
