Originally published in 1978, "For a New Geography" is a milestone in the history of spatial theory and critical geography. Milton Santos (1926-2001) was one of the most creative theorists and analysts of space in the 20th century, and his 1978 book set the terms of decades of work to come. This online roundtable and Q&A drew on a series of reviews of Archie Davies' new translation of "For a New Geography", which were recently published in the journal "Dialogues in Human Geography".
The panellists were Professor Rafael Sanzio A. dos Anjos (Geography, Universidade de Brasília), Professor Maite Conde (Brazilian Studies and Visual Culture, University of Cambridge), Professor Alex Ratts, a poet, writer and Geographer, (University of Goias), Professor Kanishka Goonewardena (Geography, University of Toronto), Associate Professor Mariana Lamego (Georgraphy, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro), Associate Professor Mariana Lamego (Georgraphy, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro), Associate Professor Michelle Buckley (Geography, University of Toronto) and Dr Archie Davies, Lecturer in Geography and Fellow of the Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences (Queen Mary University of London) and the chair of the webinar. They put Santos' ideas to work in assessing the state of intellectual and political life in Brazil following the second round of the Presidential elections on 30 October 2022.
