Sou Caio Maciel, brasileiro, geógrafo e professor do Departamento de Ciências Geográficas da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE), onde trabalho desde 1997 com ensino, pesquisa e extensão na área de Geografia Humana, com destaque para a Geografia Cultural e Agrária, conduzindo estudos sobre cultura, política e suas territorialidades. Meu percurso acadêmico começou na Agronomia, com a graduação na Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco, em 1989, mas, ao longo do tempo, fui me aproximando cada vez mais da Geografia, mergulhando nos debates sobre espaço, sociedade e natureza. Assim, meus estudos têm sido atravessados pela preocupação com as relações entre natureza, representações e modos de vida, sobretudo em contextos rurais e agrários, mas também nas cidades do Nordeste brasileiro.

EDUCATION

Graduated in Agronomy from the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (1989), with a Master's degree in Geography from the Federal University of Pernambuco (1993), supervised by José Grabois, and a Doctorate in Geography from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (2004), supervised by Iná Elias de Castro, having completed a sandwich doctorate in France (Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour), supervised by Vincent Berdoulay. I am currently an Associate Professor I at the Federal University of Pernambuco, integrating the Postgraduate Program in Geography. I coordinate the Laboratory for Studies on Space, Culture and Politics (LECgeo), an interdisciplinary study group focused on Human, Social and Cultural Geography founded in 2008. I have completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the School of Global Studies, University of Sussex, United Kingdom, with Professor Simon Rycroft, focusing on landscape, nature, and representation.

FUTURE PROJECTS

Representations and Understanding of Contemporary Geographies

Description: Aims to contemplate analyses of cinema, photography, music, and literature in order to broaden the analytical tools of Cultural Geography beyond textual languages, incorporating geographical imaginaries materialized by art and technique as structuring elements of contemporary geographies, identities, and ideologies. Thus, the mediation of representations is privileged for the establishment and interpretation of the spatialities of culture.
