Original call in Portuguese: https://revistas.udesc.br/index.php/tempo/dossie2026-1 [English] Call for Papers – Special Issue “Climate Crises and Social Consequences: Theory, History, Historiography” We invite submissions for the special issue “Climate Crises and Social Consequences: Theory, History, Historiography” in the Brazilian journal Tempo e Argumento, until December 15, 2025. Tempo e Argumento publishes articles in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. It is devoted to the field of History of the Present. Submission guidelines in English (click on the flag on the sidebar to change the language): https://revistas.udesc.br/index.php/tempo/about/submissions Organizers: Claiton Marcio da Silva (UFFS) claiton@uffs.edu.br William San Martín (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) wsanmartin@wpi.edu André Secchieri Bailão (Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Fiocruz) asbailao@gmail.com Controversies over responsibility for, and the consequences of, climate change have placed climate at the center of public debate, stimulating studies on characterization, impacts, adaptation, and mitigation. In the face of planetary transformations, scholars in the humanities have increasingly sought to bring atmospheric phenomena from the margins to the center of their analyses, aiming to understand the complex interdependencies between planet, life, and climate across multiple scales. Climate and its changes are experienced, lived, and conceptualized in diverse ways across different times and places—calling for context-specific historical analysis and research. This special issue seeks contributions that explore the intersections between climate crises and their social consequences asking what potential lies in discussions shaped by different fields of history and the humanities. We welcome articles that address historical changes in perceptions—scientific, philosophical, humanistic, cultural, and media-related—about climate, its variability, and transformations, in both the past and present. These include contested sets of narratives and experiences that have underpinned explanations about the world, nonhuman beings and phenomena, peoples, and history across different groups, informing colonial, national, and international policies as well as the formation of research networks. We also welcome articles that investigate how climatic events relate to social change, political and economic structures, vulnerabilities and resilience; how such events produce and impact conflicts, epidemics, and other crises; how different groups construct narratives and memories of these events and engage in the public sphere; and the conflicts between different ways of knowing and living—including non-Western ones—in relation to climate change. If you have any questions regarding the submission process or related to the scope of the special issue, please contact us.

We have launched the English version of Enciclopédia de Antropologia, an online encyclopedia of anthropology from Brazil.
We have translated 15 entries covering Brazilian topics, such as Amerindian perspectivism, Afro-Brazilian feminists and Indigenous authors. Please share it!

Front page of Enciclopédia de Antropologia, an online encyclopedia of anthropology from Brazil. The texts says: The intention from the outset was for this encyclopaedia of anthropology to be used as a work tool. Initially resulting from a partnership between students and professors of the Department of Anthropology at the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, it was born in the classroom, fed by the exchanges and debates that took place on the regular graduate courses. The project expanded, overflowing its original spaces, although remaining faithful to the spirit that first guided it – a spirit marked by experimentation and mutual learning, which, day by day, defined the profile and content of the work. Reflecting the way it has grown and evolved, the name attributed to the project (‘Encyclopaedia’) should not give the illusion of totality or completeness. On the contrary, it is a work in continual formation whose developments and additions will be defined by the research and the combined reflections of staff and students. While it diverges from the idea of a totality that usually informs the encyclopaedic project, it retains the dimension of a collective collaboration, hence the decision to maintain the name. Front page of Enciclopédia de Antropologia, an online encyclopedia of anthropology from Brazil. The text says: The Enciclopédia de Antropologia contains individually authored and alphabetically organized entries covering biographies of authors and activists, publications (books, essays, edited volumes), concepts and debates, intellectual currents, subfields, and institutions. Deliberately synthetic and presented in an accessible language, the entries are designed to guide those interested in learning more about concepts, works, and authors central to anthropological reflection. A work and training tool for those who produced the texts, the EA is also intended as a research and learning tool for the reader, who, in addition to being able to browse through the published texts, will also have access to a bibliography, allowing them to explore new paths if they so wish. Of our more than 100 entries in Portuguese, those specifically related to Brazil, such as Brazilian authors, institutions, and issues were translated into English. They are accompanied by editor's notes containing additional explanations and contextual information, written for our international readers. Our objective is to disseminate knowledge produced in academia. Readers are therefore more than welcome to circulate the published texts as long as they are fully cited with the title of the entry, the name of the author(s), the website address, and the date when the entry was consulted. We offer examples of how to cite each entry at the end of them. Alphabetical index of the encyclopedia, with two entries: Amerindian perspectivism, Sandra Benites
