PAM - Research in Musical Anthropology
invites you to a discussion and lecture with Prof. Dr. Tiago de Oliveira Pinto:

Roundtable discussion with researchers (2:00 PM)
Lecture (4:00 PM): Music, Recôncavo, Living Heritage – a musicological journey

In this lecture, I intend to trace the path of my own career as an anthropologist, musician, and musicologist, starting from the Recôncavo Baiano, where I began working in 1982, to outline a field of research that has evolved—also in relation to cultural agents—and where the academic contribution necessarily includes engagement with many of the pressing issues of today’s world.

Tiago de Oliveira Pinto is Full Professor of the first UNESCO Chair in Musicology, affiliated with Transcultural Music Studies at the University of Music Franz Liszt Weimar, Germany, where he has been based since 2009.

In 2025, he assumed the Musical Heritage Chair at the Kronberg Academy, Germany. His current research, teaching, and international projects focus on
Transcultural Studies in music and music as living cultural heritage. He has conducted international collaborative research in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Turkey, South Africa, Germany, Colombia, and Brazil.

The proposal for the March Friday event, organized by students of PPGAS-USP, aims to bring together transmasculine researchers and activists to discuss the relationship between transmasculine and non-binary thought in and with the University, the repercussions and remembrance of the people present at the First National Meeting of Trans Men and Transmasculine People – ENAHT (11 years later), discuss processes of self-denomination and naming, the historical presence of Black transmasculinities in the organization of the social movement, as well as the bodily and territorial experimentations possible from transmasculinities.

The panel will be guided by the questions: Why do transmasculine and non-binary bodies take to the streets and what knowledge and worlds do they imagine? How do regimes of invisibility and surveillance intertwine in Black transmasculinities?

Guests:
* Camilo Nunes – Historian and psychoanalyst, law student, political organizer of Casa Neon Cunha and member of IBRAT SP.

* Morgan Caetano – Non-binary transmasculine and PhD candidate at PPGAS-USP.

* Jackson Cruz Magalhães – Quilombola, from Bahia, transmasculine and PhD candidate at PPGAS-USP.

CEstA Dupla with Ana Carolina Beserra da Silva and Laura Pereira Furquim

"Our words are not concepts": Towards an ecology of ways of thinking

Starting from a specific historical experience—the irruption, in Brazilian universities, of affirmative action policies involving quotas for minorities, encounters of knowledge and, more recently, the so-called epistemic quotas—this presentation (part of an ongoing collaborative work with Vladimir Moreira Lima, from the State University of Rio de Janeiro) critically analyzes the postulate that different ways of thinking are essentially equivalent. From there, it proposes an ecological perspective that takes into account the different means of thought in which such modes operate, thus seeking to highlight their essential non-equivalence, conceived as multiplicity and as a condition for creative agencies.

FEMINIST ACTIVISM ON SOCIAL NETWORKS
Conversation between Gabriela Silva Loureiro and Heloisa Buarque de Almeida
February 27, 2026
4 PM
Room 266 – Letters Building - FFLCH-USP
What emotions are present in the construction and maintenance of Brazilian feminist solidarity? What to do when expectations of emotional support clash with political divergence?

In this conversation, Gabriela Silva Loureiro discusses with Heloisa Buarque de Almeida her book Emotions, Consciousness-Raising and Feminisms in the Global South: On Building Solidarity (Routledge, 2025).

The book examines these issues through interviews and discourse analysis of the Brazilian hashtags #PrimeiroAssédio and #MeuAmigoSecreto, articulating Black feminist theory, Latin American feminism, sociology of emotions, and decolonial theory.

Gabriela Silva Loureiro is a professor of Gender, Sexuality, and Diversity at La Trobe University. Her research focuses on feminisms, queer studies, anti-racism, decoloniality, and the sociology of emotions.

Heloisa Buarque de Almeida is a professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of São Paulo (USP). Her research focuses on feminisms, media, and social markers of difference.

Inspired by the global Open Science movement, which aims to make scientific research more transparent, collaborative, and accessible to everyone, this edition of "Sexta do Mês" (Friday of the Month) will feature a meeting to share experiences related to the process of writing editorials for scientific journals, as well as the entire mechanism that drives and sustains a journal and the dialectical feedback between editors, authors, and readers. Scientific journals function not only as repositories of research output but also play a fundamental role in the democratization and circulation of new knowledge and new researchers, especially the excellent anthropological journals located in the South-Southeast region. This panel will address the different editorial policies adopted by the journals to which the invited editors are affiliated, as well as the contemporary challenges faced by journals regarding scientific dissemination and communication.
