Abstract

This issue of Geografares brings articles of high theoretical value, such as "EcoPhilosophy in the thought of Heidegger and Deleuze/Guattari" [A EcoFilosofia no pensamento de Heidegger e de Deleuze/Guattari], by Jean Calmon Modenesi, which addresses a central issue for geographers with regard to society-nature immanence, and "Geography on an ontological-existential basis through Heidegger's phenomenology-hermeneutics: the meaning of existential being-in" [Geografia em bases ontológico-existenciais através da fenomenologia-hermenêutica de Heidegger: o significado do existencial ser-em], by Luis Carlos Tosta, Josimar Monteiro Santos and Akylla Coser Chiabai Silva, who also makes a great contribution to ontological debates in Geography, approaching the relationship between Geography and Heidegger's thought, focusing on the problem of the ontological foundation of this science.

After these two articles that open the issue, we have a series of articles that bring theoretical contributions through empirical studies that can be grouped into three groups: The all-too-human problems of the place (and non-place) of certain populations and certain infrastructures that have undergone transformations with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic; aspects related to urban centers and the network of cities and the territories-networks of companies in very different contexts; and, finally, two unique articles in this set, one on the migration of Africans in Ceará state and the other on marine fluvial deposits in the coastal zone of the Vitória region in Espírito Santo.
