Decolonial Translations and Embodied Methodologies: Thinking through Agua-Cuerpo-Territorio/Water-Body-Territory

19 augusti 2025 15:00 till 17:00 | Föreläsning
researcher Sofía Zaragocin

This talk explores the role of decolonial and critical geographies of translation in shaping methodologies that center the body. I focus on the bilingual concept agua-cuerpo-territorio / water-body-territory to examine how bodily autonomy—both individual and collective—is articulated in relation to aquatic space. The talk positions this concept within hemispheric debates on embodiment, territoriality, and epistemic justice.

Sofía Zaragocin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Geographic Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Prior to this, she was an Associate Professor at Universidad San Francisco de Quito in Ecuador. Her work develops decolonial feminist geographies at a hemispheric scale. She is currently researching island spaces in Latin America—specifically the Galápagos and Rapa Nui (Easter Island)—through the intersections of island feminism, decolonial feminist geography, and Latin American feminist political ecology. She is also a member of the Critical Geography Collective of Ecuador.

This is an in-person only event. 

After the talk there will be mingle. To register for the mingle, please register by August 5th at this link
