Las tradiciones sobre la enseñanza de la ciudad en la escuela: un análisis desde polis, civitas y urbs
type: item
description: This article makes a diagnosis about how the city is taught in school from the perspective proposed by Professor Horacio Capel of polis, civitas and urbs. The paper is the product of a doctoral thesis on the traditions of urban teaching of school geography in Colombia and Spain, with a view that goes beyond urbanism and incorporates politics and citizenship into the teaching of the city. To this end, a scalar system is proposed where we review what theorists and academics think about the teaching of the city, what the national guidelines propose, the way in which textbooks adapt them, the way innovative educators teach, to finally arrive at what students learn. To identify how learning processes are developed and how the different levels of analysis are articulated.

La lucha por el techo: un significante como instrumento de la escalaridad
type: item
description: This work reviews the contributions of Dr. Matheus da Silveira Grandi, professor at the Faculty of Teacher Education of the State University of Rio de Janeiro. During an international research stay, I had the opportunity to interview him on multiple occasions. His work offers a theoretical-methodological framework for analyzing the scalar dimension of human spatiality. Through studying the everyday trajectories of housing activists in Brazil’s homeless movement, Grandi demonstrates how collective struggle serves as a medium through which activists converge and produce scalarities as emergent outcomes of their daily practices. His contribution reframes socio-spatial processes through the lens of continuity rather than rupture: scalar dynamics are interpreted from the perspective of everyday life, reinforcing the notion of unity in socio-spatial practice. Here, scales are reconceptualized as products of practice rather than tools for practice. Crucially, struggle becomes a central signifier that binds not only space but also futures through quotidian acts.

La resonancia de las imágenes. La cartografía como dispositivo del arte
type: item
description: En este texo nos interesa pensar cómo las herramientas cartográficas pueden ser usadas usadas para crear imágenes del mundo que habilitan otra forma de pensarlo y habitarlo. Al mismo tiempo se pretende visibilizar como nuestra mirada construye significados al mismo tiempo que las imágenes nos desafían y resuenan de manera diferente. Para ello se establece un dialogo en función de dos series cartogaficas realizadas por la artista visual Marina Camargo: Distúrbios y Cartografía Precisa. La intensión radica en invitar al lector a crear nuevas interpretaciones posible a partir de su propia mirada.

How to educate in transversality without losing direction. Teacher training in Geography as a space for teaching and learning
type: item
description: Current educational contexts renew disciplinary and didactic challenges, in this sense the planning of teaching proposals based on transversal problems/topics invites us to ask ourselves about the methodologies in the teacher training of Geography Teachers. In this article we intend to focus on the devices of teacher training to introduce transversality. Enabling strategies that accompany practices from this approach opens the way towards a social and critical Geography from a human rights perspective. The attributes that characterize geographical science such as multidimensionality, multiperspectivity and multiscalarity enable didactic and pedagogical dialogue with theoretical-conceptual categories from different disciplines that favor other ways of teaching. When planning teaching from transversality, questions arise that will only be answered in the experiences of teaching practice. Concern about these topics, which in some cases are controversial, require special treatment in classrooms. For this reason, the Geography Teaching Residence of the National University of La Pampa, from our role as trainers, constitutes a privileged space to deploy different strategies to learn to teach them from current theoretical, methodological and normative approaches that promote transversality without tolose course.

Unpacking the notion of socio-urban integration: a conceptual analysis from the perspective of state actors
type: item
description: The notion of socio-urban integration constituted the central axis of the interventions of the Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires in popular neighbourhoods between 2016 and 2023. This paper traces the ways in which, from the State, this concept was conceptualised and defined. For this purpose, based on a qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews with different state agents, this research explores the native definitions of the concept and the dominant positions adopted by the state regarding the problem of working-class neighbourhoods and their solutions. The paper identifies four elements that structure the state's definition of the concept of socio-urban integration: integrating is more than urbanising; it is connecting the informal city to the formal one; it is a multidimensional intervention; and it requires participatory processes. At the same time, there are tensions between the ways in which policy defines and acts on these four elements. With respect to the starting points of this conceptualisation, it is identified that although the state discourse highlights its originality in the definition of the concept, there are points of contact with pre-existing definitions in the academic field and with other regional political experiences.

type: item
description: The study from the epistemologies of the south finds great bridges with the Latin American and Argentine proposal of Feminist Geographies. In this context, an attempt has been made to reconstruct these currents of thought in order to rethink the notion of territory. The proposal of flexible territorialities is taken up to apply it to a specific case: the deterritorialization processes of the red zones in the city of Mar del Plata in the year 2022. For this, interviews were carried out with 9 organizations and groups of representatives of the LGBT+ community. , the review of Public Hearings and regulations, trying to analyze how geographical spaces are constantly configured and reconfigured on a weekly, daily and hourly basis.

Mapping horizons: youth and geography education in brazilian graduate studies
type: item
description: This research falls within the state-of-the-art investigations, which provide an updated overview of a specific field of knowledge, such as the relationships between youth and geography education in Brazilian graduate studies. The time frame used was from 2008 to 2020, based on a broader research previously conducted. Initially, 41 works were examined, involving various aspects of Geography and youth. This paper focuses on the 17 studies specifically dedicated to geography education. Most of these researches are at the master's level (70%), with 30% aimed at the doctorate. The Federal University of Goiás stands out as a leader in academic production, contributing 64.7% of the investigations, followed by USP (11.8%). Regarding regional distribution, 64.7% of the studies were conducted in the Central-West region, while 23.5% were conducted in the Southeast region. The ratings of the Graduate Programs varied, with 76.5% receiving a rating of 6 by CAPES. The most recurring keywords include geography education, school youth, and citizenship education. Verbs such as understand, analyze, and identify predominate in the objectives of the studies. This study seeks to deepen the understanding of emerging trends and perspectives in academic research on the interactions between youth and geography education in the Brazilian context.

Informational capitalism and technical-scientific-informational enviromental. Internet infraestructure an its deployment on a global scale
type: item
description: Despite its numerous crises throughout history, the capitalist system manages to reinvent itself in various ways. For much of the 20th century, capitalism developed based on industrial production. Following the crisis of the 1970s, transformations took place that restructured the system, with one of the main changes being the role of information and knowledge. In this regard, a group of authors has defined the current period as informational capitalism in the platform phase. After the financial crisis of 2008, there was a great push for innovation and the business model driven by platforms, promoting much simpler access to the internet and through our smartphones. We want to delve into the changes occurring in the current technical-scientific-informational environment. For this reason, we will observe the transformations in the material infrastructure of the internet worldwide. The article will be structured as follows: first, we will emphasize the definition of the current period; second, we will deepen the spatial perspective from which we start; third, we will analyze the collected data; and finally, we will present the final reflections.

Geography and photojournalism. Possible and necessary dialogues for the interpretation of African territories
type: item
description: The dominant narratives and representations on African territories are debated by contributions that question, investigate, explore and produce territorial knowledge in a critical and committed manner. The work of the photojournalists unfolds a process of production and research prior to the realization of the publications and elaboration after the fieldwork in the territory. The problematization of the landscapes observed and analyzed by these professionals is closely linked to the work of geographers because they share spatial analysis strategies. Their voices become alternatives because they show unseen realities and allow to broaden the critical view of distant territories. This paper aims to establish the connections between geographical knowledge and the contributions of photojournalists doing fieldwork in different territories of the African continent. First, a theoretical argumentation of the perspective of personal geographies is elaborated, then the articulations between geography and image are analyzed, and finally, publications in different formats by the Argentinean Juan Ignacio Incardona, the Colombian Salym Fayad and the Spanish Xaxier Aldekoa are presented. The results of this research aim to establish dialogues between research and teaching of African themes.

Geo-Inquiry: estrategia metodológica innovadora para la enseñanza de temas transversales en Geografía
type: item
description: Geography, as a scientific discipline, allows the teaching-learning of cross-cutting themes in the classroom. The purpose of the article is to present the results of the application of the Geo-inquiry project in the Region of Coquimbo (Chile) as a methodological strategy for the teaching of cross-cutting themes in the field of Geography. The Geo-Inquiry project corresponds to an active methodological strategy that aims to help future geography teachers, primary and secondary school students to develop skills, knowledge and tools related to the development of geographical thinking and cross-cutting themes in the context of teaching Geography. We worked with a sample of educational establishments in the Coquimbo Region, Chile. Methodologically, an analysis of the work carried out by the students was carried out. Among the main results, it can be seen that the application process of the Geo-inquiry project facilitates the process of geographic transversality in the school environment and in the initial training of teachers.

The Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) applied to the regionalization exercise: analysis of a teaching and research instrument
type: item
description: Starting from the premise that the exercise of regionalization can constitute a powerful starting point for creating analyzes that allow creating questions of a geographic nature, this study aims to present a tool that allows monitoring and evaluating the intellectual movements used by learning subjects in a context of teaching. To pursue this objective, we resort to the Theory of Legitimation Codes (TCL) proposed by Maton (2014), specifically with regard to the semantic dimension. Therefore, the constructs of density and semantic gravity are presented to create a model applied to the regionalization exercise. Density and semantic gravity are, roughly speaking, parameters for measuring the quality of appropriation of scientific concepts (density) and the possibilities of generalizing these concepts (gravity). After creating a semantic gravity framework associated with specific regionalization actions, an activity was applied to students in the 1st year of high school. By representing a space using the regionalization methodology, students were equipped to think about spaces that are not glued to their immediate context. Furthermore, an epistemological element was recovered in the teaching of Geography. It was concluded that the functional coherence of the region gives it a scientific character in that it can be an instrument for reading and analyzing reality in different spatial areas, mobilizing different levels of semantic gravity. This enables a richer reading of spaces and the development of investigative perspectives in teaching situations

Transposición de las categorías de análisis geográficas al ciberespacio. Discutiendo las posibilidades de una Geografía 4.0 y sus implicancias didácticas
type: item
description: Transposition of the categories of geographical analysis to the Cyberspace: Discussing the Possibilities of Geography 4.0 ABSTRACT: This article reflects the research carried out in the PhD thesis in Geography, defended in 2024 at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM, Brazil), which positioned geographic science with its categories of analysis in relation to cyberspace and its virtualization process, elaborating a specific definition of what we call "Geography 4.0" and what we analyze as cyberregion. guided by interscalarity. Cyberspace is a topic with little research in Brazil, especially in Geography, which should broaden its discussions in the face of the transformations of the society interconnected by networks. In the globalized world, capitalist society is increasingly inserted into cyberspace due to its social, economic, political, religious, cultural dynamics, etc. The Internet has betrayed many benefits, such as quick access to information and knowledge, offering a new form of entertainment and relationships, but it also has conflicts, violence and losses. Geography must offer theoretical, methodological and axiological tools that allow students to interpret social relations in virtuality and that provide conceptual, procedural and attitudinal bases that contribute to the formation of digital citizenship.

Arde la ciudad: los profesores y el temario de la Geografía escolar en la mira de la extrema derecha político-cultural argentina
type: item
description: In the period following the COVID-19 pandemic, within the framework of the return to face-to-face school activities, a growing number of secondary school Geography teachers have reported the emergence, on the part of students, of challenges to the terms in which various contents of the school Geography curriculum are presented. In many cases, these significant objections are expressed in classrooms with a fiery, festive, and even vindictive tone, which intensifies the teacher’s sense of isolation. This climate goes beyond the mere ascent, to the summit of institutionalized political power, of political configurations that may provide a channel or stimulus for this worldview: it reflects a long process of the gestation of authoritarian tendencies within Argentine political culture. Furthermore, the confinement of teachers is part of a long-term process in which the loss of their centrality has been, and continues to be, reinforced through a certain delegitimization of specific disciplinary knowledge.

Teaching critical and dynamic geographies: formative expectations and horizons of creation
type: item
description: En tiempos contemporáneos, la enseñanza de la geografía se inscribe en un nuevo marco de sociabilidad, de reordenamiento de la vida en común, en medio de novedosos ensamblajes entre nuevas naturalezas, tecnologías y subjetividades. En este texto, compartimos un conjunto de elementos disciplinares y pedagógicos para orientar estrategias de enseñanza que permitan analizar la espacialidad social en un mundo en constante transformación, a la vez que imaginar escenarios superadores del tiempo presente. Presentamos, en primer lugar, la noción de un tiempo tripartito, es decir, un tiempo plural que combina los tiempos pasado-presente-futuro, con especial atención en la dimensión del tiempo por venir, a la hora de formular preguntas y problemas del temario geográfico a enseñar. Continúa un apartado que sostiene el carácter relacional de la geografía y los aprendizajes permanentes, como principios de organización de los contenidos, estrategias y materiales curriculares. Luego, se propone la categoría territorio, desde el punto de vista conceptual y experiencial, como referencia clave para articular propuestas de educación geográfica. Por último, algunas notas referidas al fortalecimiento y jerarquización de la enseñanza de la geografía, renovando la apuesta formativa de la disciplina.

Geografía y transversalidad: preguntas de este tiempo en clave de enseñanza
type: item
description: Desde la pospandemia, el escenario mundial se ha complejizado en múltiples dimensiones que se entrecruzan y se amplifican. En el plano ambiental, se profundiza el deterioro de los ecosistemas, se intensifican las prácticas extractivistas y se acelera el cambio climático. En la dimensión social, se agravan las injusticias vinculadas con la distribución desigual de la riqueza, los procesos de exclusión y los malestares que configuran nuevas formas de precariedad. En el ámbito tecnológico, el avance del capitalismo de plataformas reconfigura el mundo del trabajo, los vínculos sociales y las formas de acceso al conocimiento. Finalmente, el eje político está atravesado por una geopolítica inestable, con conflictos armados activos —como en Gaza y Ucrania— y por el peso creciente de discursos de derecha y ultraderecha que tensionan el valor de la democracia y cuestionan los derechos sociales.

Español The study of everyday life in geography: analysis of a conflict over access to habitat in the city of Tandil
type: item
description: Since the beginning of the 21st century, an increase in problems linked to access to urban land and decent housing has been observed in the city of Tandil. This situation is manifested through certain indicators, such as, for example, the increase in the percentage of tenant households, the expansion of urban informality and a greater number of collective land occupations, which have become especially acute in the last fifteen years. The objective of this work is to analyze the urban social conflict linked to access to habitat from a geographical perspective, in which the dimension of everyday life is also present, taking the case of the eviction of a settlement, which took place during the validity of the Preventive and Mandatory Social Isolation measures (ASPO), ordered by the National Executive Branch, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. To do this, information obtained through the participant observation technique was used, since the conflict was intervened through an extension project, attending meetings with various actors, and statements by the occupants and public officials made in the local press were also used.

Political Territorialization and the Forces of Heaven: Electoral Reconfiguration in Argentina in 2023
type: item
description: In 2023, the results of the electoral process in Argentina triggered a reconfiguration of the two-coalition type competitive electoral scheme that had remained relatively stable since 2015. Although this transformation affected both national and subnational competitive arenas, this paper focuses on the electoral geography of the presidential election in the first round. In this regard, the traditional geographical configuration of the vote at the national level contradicts some of the assumptions of the theory of political nationalization, which predicts a relatively homogeneous competitive scenario for the various political coalitions in any subnational domain. Instead, in Argentina, two significantly differentiated regional frameworks have been consolidated: a central region, which has an equitable competitive dynamic between the main political formations, and a more peripheral region, mainly in the north of the country, largely dominated by the territorial factions of Peronism. These scenarios, with differentiated regional patterns of electoral behavior, were partially altered by the emergence of Javier Milei’s candidacy, changing the configuration of the territorialization of the vote, with traditional coalitions retreating to their strongholds and La Libertad Avanza (LLA) growing over regional frameworks of the vote linked to pre-existing political forces.

Edad, género y emociones: aportes a su estudio relacional desde la Geografía
type: item
description: Reflexionar e investigar sobre las niñeces significa pensarnos retrospectivamente, analizar la realidad actual con ellos y ellas, indagar sobre la reproducción social, el espacio público y privado, la capacidad de agencia, los roles y la visibilización. Un punto de inicio podría ser acordar que la niñez no es universal, no es homogénea, que niños y niñas son sujetos protagonistas hoy y ahora, actores sociales que poseen voces que deben ser escuchadas, tenidas en cuenta y respetadas. Si se suma a la complejidad anunciada la pertenencia etaria y el género las dificultades de abordaje de problemáticas que tiene a las niñeces como núcleo central se acrecientan, interseccionando cuestiones sobre las que aun al menos desde la Geografía hay mucho que debatir. Entonces, cuando desde la revista Punto Sur me ofrecen la oportunidad de hacer un comentario respecto del artículo INFANCIA Y GÉNERO: GEOGRAFÍAS QUE EMOCIONAN Y MÉTODOS PARTICIPATIVOS PARA EL CAMBIO SOCIAL de las autoras Anna Ortiz Guitart y Mireia Baylina Ferré de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, no puedo más que sentirme predispuesta y agradecida al equipo editorial. Mi interés con este breve texto es dialogar humildemente con las autoras de este interesante aporte al campo de la Geografía de la Niñez, la Geografía del Género y la Geografía de las Emociones el marco mayor de la Geografía.

Childhood and Gender: Geographies that Excite and Participatory Methods for Social Change
type: item
description: Based on a literature review of three outstanding international geography journals, this article presents the main theoretical and methodological contributions to the geography of childhood in recent decades. The review focuses on the gendered and intersectional gaze, as well as the role of participatory methods in bringing emotions to the surface in geographical studies of childhood. To illustrate these three intersections (childhood, gender, and emotions), a concrete case study researched by the authors is presented. It concludes that there is a growing need to consider the emotional geographies of childhood as inseparable from the social, cultural, economic, and political landscapes of childhood.

Among the seeds, roots, and fruits of research, the territorial nature of forest struggles: the theoretical-methodological contributions of DATALUTA Floresta
type: item
description: DATALUTA Floresta is a database created during the XIII National Meeting of the DATALUTA Network - Brazilian Research Network on Struggles for Space and Territories. The objective is to collect data on different socio-spatial and socio-territorial movements struggling for Brazilian biomes and forests. The collected, systematized, and spatialized data currently cover the years 2020 and 2021, with 610 and 620 registered collective actions. These two years reflect the specificity of a pandemic context that highlighted the vulnerability of indigenous peoples, quilombolas, extractivists, and other individuals involved in collective actions defending the forests. In the context of actions identified by the DATALUTA Floresta working team, two major categorization groups stand out, which we named 1) Main Actions and 2) Derivative Actions. The first is a broader category encompassing a diversity of actions with more specific characteristics, which would be the derivative actions. Building upon this initial effort, we intend to present the results obtained during the first years of the research, encompassing the types of actions, types of movements, and an analysis of the spatialization of the struggle for territories in/related to forests.

Drop by drop, a sea of actions: theoretical-methodological contributions to the study of socio-spatial and socioterritorial movements of water in Brazil
type: item
description: Territorial disputes over natural resources have marked the history of Latin America. The growing neoliberal agenda and the advancement of financialization of natural assets are expressions of the process of commodification of nature and accumulation through spoliation, to the detriment of traditional peoples and communities. As a result of these and other processes, water spaces have become territorially contested, highlighting an unequal correlation aimed at controlling the resources embedded within these territories. Fishermen, shellfish gatherers, riverside dwellers, indigenous peoples, and many other individuals have started to organize themselves and form socioterritorial movements in different regions of Brazil, now expanding into a transnational struggle while maintaining strong local ties. Given this scenario, our objective is to highlight the innovative methodological contribution of the Land Struggle Database (DATALUTA) and the theoretical framework regarding socioterritorial movements in order to comprehend the contentious politics promoted around water territories in Brazil between 2020-2021.

The The Autonomous Praxis as a Strategy of Resistance among Brazilian Indigenous Socioterritorial Movements: A Panorama of the Years 2020 and 2021 based on DATALUTA Network Brazil Data
type: item
description: This article investigates the autonomic strategies mobilized by socio-territorial movements in Brazilian forests in 2020 and 2021, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, with an emphasis on indigenous movements. Through the prism of “autonomic praxis,” understood as collective and self-managed political actions aimed at safeguarding socio-territorial and cultural integrity, the research systematizes unpublished data collected by DATALUTA Floresta, one of the databases of the Rede DATALUTA. The actions identified encompass a variety of strategies, such as the creation of territorial vigilance groups, the implementation of autonomous territorial control measures to combat COVID-19, and processes involving the retaking and self-demarcation of territories. These actions demonstrate the agency of socio-territorial movements against external political and economic forces that aim to control, submit, violate, and/or colonize their territories. The research contributes to the understanding of socio-spatial dynamics in the pandemic context, pointing to resistance strategies beyond the state sphere, thus reaffirming the relevance of the autonomic perspective in the struggle for self-determination and territorial control.

Struggles for Rights in the Brazilian Urban Space and the SDGs in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic
type: item
description: This article examines the actions of urban socio-spatial and socio-territorial movements in Brazil during 2020 and 2021, in a context marked by the pandemic and political polarization under the government of Jair Bolsonaro. The health crisis and the increase in poverty spurred the mobilization of various groups, both critical and supportive of the government. During the analyzed period, 438 active movements were recorded. In 2020, their actions were concentrated in large metropolitan areas, but in 2021, they expanded to intermediate cities. The data show how the political and social context influenced their agendas. Conservative and far-right groups challenged WHO guidelines and rejected the SDG framework, while left-wing movements promoted initiatives against poverty and in defense of health, education, and labor rights. This period reflected deep disputes and a lack of consensus in Brazilian society regarding a fairer and more sustainable future. The research was conducted within the scope of the DATALUTA Network, which manages the Database of Struggles for Spaces and Territories, analyzing since 2020 the relationship between these struggles and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The collective actions of agrarian socio-territorial movements and the relationship between the countryside and the cities in Brazil in 2020: the struggle for Popular Agrarian Reform
type: item
description: This paper discusses the socioterritorial movements’ collective action in Brazil, during the year 2020. For this, we organize and analyze the dataluta network database. In dialogue with the literature on critical agrarian studies and the spatial diversity in geographic studies, we demonstrate how the actions implemented by agrarian socioterritorial movements in cities express the current agrarian question. Urban and rural are part of a dialectical reality, and to understand them it is necessary to go beyond polarized explanations that hide the conflicts between social classes. Those actions are the result of demands that articulate urban and rural spaces such as healthy food, environmental sustainability, and labor dignity. This fact reinforces the understanding that considering these new rural and urban meanings is paramount to suppressing capitalism’s structural limits.

Protest actions in the Argentinean and Brazilian countryside from a gender perspective
type: item
description: Faced with the aggressive expansion of capitalist exploitation projects on territories in Latin America, organised rural movements are resisting through diverse practices linked to territorial and food sovereignty. In many cases, these resistances are led by women, lesbians, transvestites, trans and non-binary people. Focused on the struggle for land and the effective recognition of land rights, they oppose the deepening inequalities caused by extractivism, which, as they denounce, is based on class, ethnic-racial and patriarchal violence. Organised, they demand the defence of life through diverse practices associated with food production and the transformation of socio-ecological and rural-urban relations. In this context, we aim to understand the production of territory(ies) by mapping and analysing protest actions and mobilisations led by women or involving gender issues in the countryside of Argentina and Brazil. This research is based on data recorded in 2021, available in the Data Bank of Struggles for Spaces and Territories (DATALUTA) and the Ruralities and Territories (INDES-FHCSYS/UNSE-CONICET) research group in Argentina, created within the framework of the international cooperation project ‘Socioterritorial Movements in a Comparative Perspective

Socio-spatial and socio-territorial movements: agroecological productive resistance actions in Brazil
type: item
description: In recent years, Brazil has been marked by the advance of neoliberal policies, mainly during Jair Messias Bolsonaro’s government. The neoliberal policies, allied to the pandemic consequences, imposed on the sociospatial/socioterritorial movements the need to create new strategies of organization, articulation and struggle to achieve the survival conditions and permanence in land. We aim to analyze, from the Banco de Dados das Lutas por Espaços e Territórios (Database of Struggles of Space and Territory), the actions realized by Brazilian socio-spatial/socio-territorial movements between 2020 and 2021, related to productive resistances with a focus on agroecological actions. In face of lack of actions by the state during the pandemic, the productive resistances actions were evidenced as part of struggle agenda of movements in several fields: in the organizational field with the deepening of collective and cooperative work; in the production field with the realization of agroecological techniques; in the commercialization field with the search for alternatives to the expropriation of peasant income by capital; in the commodity circulation field in order to build new logistical possibilities, etc. This conjecture represents the materialization of the historical process of struggle of the movements to create a development model not governed by the logic of capital, but which is guided by agrarian reform and food sovereignty.
