“…Civil defense, civil protection, and emergency management professionals are aware of the difficulties arising from the lack of recognition of their work and are mobilizing to face it (Macías, 1999; Brazil, 2021a). Research on civil defense tends to look at institutional vulnerabilities (Valencio, 2012), institutional capacities (Londe et al. , 2015), and interactions with other professionals, such as social service workers (Dutra and Gonçalves, 2016), health sector practitioners (Silva, 2019).…”

PurposeThis article discusses the professional status of civil defense and protection agents and coordinators in Brazil, their working conditions and demands for professionalization in disaster risk management.Design/methodology/approachTwo online surveys with operators and civil defense and protection managers and documentary analysis based this research. The first survey engaged 1,933 participants who provided information about the working conditions at municipal civil defense, while the second involved 1,344 civil respondents who assessed their roles and duties in disaster risk management.FindingsCivil defense and protection agents pointed to the high turnover in these positions as the main factor for setbacks in disaster risk reduction, allied to precarious working conditions, lack of training, and unclear responsibilities in disaster risk management.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the international debate on the professionalization of civil defense and protection and disaster risk management, bringing some insights from the sociology of professions. It has a policy impact of suggesting pathways to the inclusion of civil defense and protection in the Brazilian Occupational Classification to advance professional patterns and public recognition of disaster risk management careers.

“…No entanto, o questionamento mais relevante quanto ao termo "desastres naturais" diz respeito à despolitização implícita no conceito. Autores como Naik (2009) e Valencio (2011) questionam se o termo "natural" é o mais apropriado para denominar os desastres relacionados a fenômenos e processos hidrometeorológicos e geomorfológicos que causam danos às populações. "Denominá-los como desastres 'naturais' é uma forma de deslegitimar a politização e o controle social na definição do problema e evitar a busca compartilhada de soluções" (VALENCIO; VALENCIO, 2011, p. 25).…”

As mudanças demográficas associadas à complexidade dos problemas ambientais contemporâneos, como as mudanças ambientais globais e os desastres tecnológicos, tornarão cada vez mais perene a (re)produção social dos riscos e desastres a eles associados. O artigo propõe reflexões que posicionem a demografia, particularmente no contexto brasileiro, de forma a incorporar esses desafios aos seus conceitos, teorias e metodologias de análise, consolidando o campo de estudos em demografia dos desastres. O percurso escolhido foi, inicialmente, o de revisitar conceitos presentes em estudos de população e ambiente, como riscos, danos, desastres, vulnerabilidade, adaptação e resiliência. Revisitamos a literatura produzida em demografia dos desastres, enfatizando a relação endógena entre desastres e a composição, distribuição e dinâmica demográfica. Em seguida, propusemos um marco teórico sobre demografia dos desastres, bem como sua operacionalização a partir de sete princípios. Por fim, discutimos como, tanto do ponto vista conceitual, teórico quanto metodológico, a demografia possui um papel fundamental para consolidar uma perspectiva científica que antagonize discursos de “naturalização” dos desastres e, consequentemente, contribua para criar ou aperfeiçoar políticas públicas e mecanismos de gestão e planejamento antes, durante e após os desastres.

“…My advisor positioned the "Brazilian Sociology of Disasters" as a sub-area of the "Sociology of Development." This choice led us to frame disasters as a development issue connected to the causes and consequences of socioeconomic change in society, social justice and inequality (Valencio, 2012). Contexts are very important for understanding why people study disasters.…”

PurposeThe question of “why we are in disaster studies” can be essential to reflect on discourses and practices – as students, researchers and professors – in constituting an oppressive disaster science and finding ways to liberate from it.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is based on autobiographical research and institutional ethnography to observe and analyze the discourses and practices about career trajectories as students, researchers and professors in disaster studies.FindingsThe paper provides some categories, concepts, theoretical approaches and lived experiences helpful for discussing ways of liberating disaster studies, such as public sociology of disaster.Originality/valueFew papers have focused on professional trajectories in disaster studies, bringing insights from public sociology and questioning oppressive disaster science.
