The objective of the paper is to analyze the extent to which the decolonial perspective is reflected in the teaching and the research in the area of International Relations (IR) in Brazil. The first part is conceptual and discusses the meanings of Decoloniality and its interfaces with the area of IR. Then, the empirical analysis is presented. Documents, data and studies were used to analyze Brazilian undergraduate and graduate courses in this area. We found some initial advances with the inclusion of debates on Ethnic-Racial Relations in undergraduate courses, the constitution of research groups and the existence of some (few) doctoral theses on the subject. However, several significant challenges were found for Decoloniality to assert itself as a relevant axis in Brazilian IR studies. Among them, the small insertion of these contents on the (undergraduate) curriculum, the centrality of the state-centered theories, racism and institutional resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Regionalism is often associated by literary criticism with archaic and outdated terms, and this practice has influenced the opinion of Brazilian writers themselves. Over time, criticism has nurtured negative views on regionalism, frequently linking it to literatures of environmental description, restricted movements, and a taste for the picturesque and exotic. Because of this perspective that disassociates regionalism from well-crafted fiction, contemporary writers often deny any relationship between their work and this literary movement. In this paper, we discuss the formulations of contemporary regionalism present in the work of Ronaldo Correia de Brito, as well as the perceptions about this literary current publicly conveyed by the author. For that purpose, the novel entitled Galileia and interviews by Correia de Brito are analyzed. From the analysis, it is possible to understand that the author appropriates the regional matter, such as the space known as sertão, and of much knowledge coming from the popular culture and characteristics of this region. The work develops from three main characters - Adonias, Ismael and Davi -, through which the author sets in motion transits between peripheral spaces of the interior of Brazil and spaces commonly associated with centrality, causing questions regarding the regional identity to arise. Nevertheless, the author denies any relation of his work with the regionalist literary current. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the dynamics of commuting involving Chapecó, city located in western of Santa Catarina state, the aim of investigating the existence of urban agglomeration processes. For this, it uses microdata from IBGE and spatial analysis techniques. The results point to an incipient process, but with increasing trends in the light of changes that are currently occurring in the urban space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The research aims to propose a methodology to estimate the reliability of the Brazilian airport network (domestic passenger traffic), based on the centrality of airports (Network Theory). Design/methodology: The applied methodologies are related to Network Theory, a branch of Graph Theory, and reliability. Reliability is associated with the good functioning of a product or system, the absence of breaks or failures in each period and the environmental conditions of use of the item. The data used refer to the period 2000-2018 and were obtained from the sector's regulatory body in Brazil. The study allows to estimate the reliability of the airport network, based on the centrality of airports (Network Theory). Findings: The results allow airports to be classified into three groups: adequate context, worrying context and critical context, thus signalling airports that may stop operating regular domestic traffic. Research limitations/implications: The study does not aim to overlap or replace conventional analyses, recognized by the results, and applied over time. However, to present a new tool that allows the monitoring and preliminary analysis of airport networks, mainly domestic and regional networks, signalling to airport operators, regulators, and airlines the need for intervention (measures to reverse the trend) in the network, thus allowing, economic development and equitable access to all regions. Originality/value: The proposal of a complementary methodology based on the centrality of airports to analyze operational continuity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
