“…Além das dinâmicas desiguais do espaço urbano, as representações sociais dos moradores do Conjunto Heliópolis exprimem uma relação de injustiça cognitiva 26 presente no modo de enfrentamento de risco pouco sensível às demandas locais que excluiu do processo decisório os indivíduos que vivenciam cotidianamente os riscos no território.…”

A configuração de situações de risco associadas à exposição humana a áreas contaminadas nas cidades é um problema inerente às dinâmicas de produção do espaço urbano que reproduzem vulnerabilidades socioambientais e afetam em maior grau os grupos socialmente marginalizados. O presente artigo discute o caso do Conjunto habitacional Heliópolis, construído sobre um lixão pela municipalidade de São Paulo no final da década de 1980 e destinado à população de baixa renda. O objetivo é de identificar e analisar as representações sociais dos moradores sobre o risco associado à contaminação do solo local, de forma a investigar como os residentes compreendem e se posicionam frente à situação vivenciada. A metodologia compreende um estudo de caso que se valeu da aplicação de entrevistas a 30 moradores do local e da análise de documentos sobre as medidas adotadas para o gerenciamento de risco. As representações sociais dos moradores expressam as múltiplas dinâmicas de desigualdade socioambiental que estruturam as relações sociais locais e o modo de enfrentamento adotado pelas instituições responsáveis para gerenciar a situação. Esses resultados expressam que o enfrentamento de risco em áreas contaminadas precisa ser revisto, sobretudo em países marcados por assimetrias sociais, como é o caso do Brasil, para que seja apreendido pela população e enfrentado de forma mais efetiva. Palavras-chave: Poluentes do Solo. Percepção Social. Fatores Socioeconômicos.

The article discusses the role of documentary cinema as inspiration for the development of sensitive collaborative methodologies in interdisciplinary fields, such as collective health, involving the approximation between scientists, filmmakers, and social movements around health and environmental problems. The article is anchored on the notion of making common used by Paulo Freire and in the work of Boaventura de Sousa Santos, called Epistemologies of the South, and his proposal to decolonize knowledge, which includes the realization of ecology of knowledges. From such references, the documentary is reflected beyond an artistic and authorial work based on science, but as an emergence of new epistemes and knowledge connected to social struggles and emancipatory processes that can inspire theoreticalmethodological renewal in the production of knowledges. In the article, we selected two documentaries that address the struggles against capitalist agriculture and the effects of the intensive use of pesticides, as well as the promotion of agroecology and agrarian reform as alternatives for fairer, healthier, and more sustainable societies. As a result, the analysis of those documentaries demonstrates the potential of bringing together science, politics, art, and ethics as interdisciplinary and intercultural practices of co-labor-action, co-production, and co-creation.

“…These three fields provide the theoretical basis for proposing the four concepts of Justice (social, for health or sanitary, environmental, and cognitive) that we seek to promote aiming to confront social and ecological problems and propose actions together with social movements and community organizations, mainly in the Brazilian context (Porto, 2019a). The articulation of these four justices, as well as policies and actions that have social movements and community organizations as protagonists, provide the theoretical and empirical bases to envision utopian perspectives emerging from concrete social struggles, as well as the different knowledges that arise in the context of these struggles.…”

This article discusses theoretical, methodological and political issues related to urban greening in the Global South, as well as emancipatory alternatives to envisioning more inclusive, democratic, sustainable and healthy cities. We sustain that the role of traditional and peasant peoples and communities – including indigenous, quilombolas and others - is strategic for thinking about alternatives and actions aimed at the paradigmatic transition that surpasses the vision of Eurocentric modernity. It generates artificial barriers that divide countryside and cities, society and nature, life and economy, as well as subjects and objects in producing and sharing knowledge. These peoples and communities designates a diversity of social situations that have as a common denominator conditions of existence considered to contrast with “modernity,” situated on the margins of the representations of “development” and “progress” of the hegemonic economic and political powers. Our arguments are empirically based on experiences developed in Brazil with interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogues carried out in recent years. The events called “Meetings of Knowledges” brought together academic groups and different social movements and community organizations involving social struggles and topics such as health, environmental conflicts and justice, food security and sovereignty, agroecology, among others. These meetings intend to enhance intercultural and interdisciplinary interactions between agents working together in different territories with concrete knowledges and experiences. The contents generated by the debates held at these events and their developments depict social experiences that reinforce the underlying hypothesis behind this article: the social struggles involving the interaction between traditional and agricultural populations with urban spaces in the Global South provide important evidence for research agendas about emerging emancipatory processes related to urban greening. In the first part of the text, we analyze the historical, social and epistemological meaning of indigenous, quilombola and peasant peoples in the Brazilian context, analyzing both recent contradictions and threats, as well as their role in the emergence of ongoing emancipatory agendas, including interaction with cities. Finally, we show examples related to social struggles, first of an indigenous ethnic group in the Amazon region, and then in two big Brazilian cities, involving social movements and community organizations that integrate actions for decent housing, sanitation, health care, and food along with the rescue of ancestral knowledge.
