Résumé

Cette table ronde sur la réorientation des géographies critiques du développement mondial a été organisée en réponse à « The Critical Geography Conversations : Le 20e anniversaire de l'ACME ». Elle a rassemblé des chercheurs de divers horizons - dont Han Cheng, Patricia Daley, Ruben Gonzalez-Vicente et Diana Vela-Almeida - pour réfléchir aux changements significatifs dans les géographies du développement mondial, tels que la montée du Sud global, la consolidation des BRICS, en particulier le rôle de la Chine, et la nécessité de remettre en question les catégories spatiales établies. La conversation a créé un espace de réflexion collective sur les possibilités et les défis liés à la refonte de nos méthodes d'enseignement, de recherche et d'engagement dans le monde. À une époque où désapprendre et repenser sont essentiels pour envisager des avenirs alternatifs, ce dialogue a souligné l'importance de forger de nouvelles façons d'être, de sentir et de penser le développement et la géographie.
