Seminário Negative Atmospheres
O seminário internacional Negative Atmospheres reúne geógrafos e investigadores de diferentes países para discutir os impactos negativos das atividades humanas nas atmosferas, entendidas nas suas dimensões física e sensorial.
O programa aborda temas como alterações climáticas, guerra e terrorismo, violência urbana, turistificação, neurodiversidade, violência de género, migração e exclusão social, explorando a forma como estes fenómenos transformam os espaços e as experiências quotidianas.
Organização: Daniel Paiva (IGOT, Universidade de Lisboa), Rainer Kazig (Université Grenoble Alpes), Robert Shaw (Newcastle University), Alberto Vanolo (University of Turin) e Andrea Pavoni (ISCTE-IUL).
