The role of the territorial state has changed in recent decades in the wake of the communications revolution; the explosion of transnational social, political, and economic formations; accelerated mobility across international boundaries; and the inability of states to address pressing socioeconomic and environmental issues. Yet in the rush to document and assess the networks, flows, and relational spaces that are part of this shift, it is important not to overlook the continuing hold of modernist territorial ideas on the geographical imagination. Geographical writings on territoriality, spatial socialization, state-driven knowledge production, and regimes of territorial legitimation provide tools for understanding the power and inertia of modernist territorial ideas, which continue to influence patterns of identity and state practice in wide-ranging and significant ways. Contemporary interpretations of the doctrine of self-determination and its application in the Western Sahara case demonstrate that modernist ideas about territory continue to have far-reaching political and social consequences. It follows that any balanced assessment of the contemporary political-geographic order should not ignore the ways in which the continuing allure of territory articulates with the material and functional shifts that are challenging traditional political-territorial arrangements.

Mendonça Teles, G. & Müller-Bergh, K. (Eds.). (2015). Vanguardia Latinoamericana. Historia, crítica y documentos [Tomo VI, Brasil]. Frankfurt am Main/Madrid: Vervuert/Iberoamericana.Following the publication of the volumes of work dedicated to the literature of Mexico and Central America (Tome I), Caraibas, the Greater and Lesser Antilles (Tome II), South America, the North Andean region (Tome III), South America, Southern Andean region (Tome IV), and South America, Chile and the Plata countries (Tome V), the Latin-American Vanguard Collection. History, review and documents dedicates his sixth tome (Iberoamericana Editorial Vervuert, 2015), authored, coordinated and organized by Gilberto Mendonça Teles and Klaus Müller-Bergh, to the Brazilian literary production in the period of nineteenth century Modernism.

The period of modernism and the avant-garde in the Iberian region may be interpreted as a continuum, with no radical aesthetic divide, shaping a multiple and heterogeneous view of modernity in the peninsula, allowing to observe the contact elements among writers, literary movements, schools and trends, from a supranational perspective, as an active and dynamic polisystem where hegemonic and fringe (peripheral) literatures alternate.

The Harlem Renaissance was a modernist movement of self-affirmation of black identity in the arts that, in dialogue with anticolonial articulations, reached its peak in the 1920s, in the United States. Many of its authors, such as Langston Hughes (1901-1964), Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), Richard Bruce Nugent (1906-1987) and Nella Larsen (1891-1964) currently have their names linked to the movement, but, despite this, they took different paths, marked by the intersections between class, race, gender and sexuality, present in their lives and works. It is our goal, therefore, to study some of these authors main works, and we do so by paying attention to the dialogues and idiosyncrasies between the works of these authors who are fundamental to the movement. In order to do so, we take support on the contributions of Walker (1975), Neal (1985), Gates and Lemke (1995), Hutchinson (2007), among others. We observed, with this study, the way in which the perceptions about these authors and their respective literary works reverberated throughout the decades following the decline of the movement and until the present day.

The concern with space and, more fundamentally, the formulation of a larger, guiding spatial theory, was central to achieving Nazi objectives during the Third Reich. We disclose critical elements of that theory, focusing on two contributions: the first by the jurist and international legal and political theorist Carl Schmitt (1888-1985) and the second by the geographer Walter Christaller (1893-1969). Applying the perverted biopolitical logic of National Socialism required the military accomplishment and bureaucratic management of two interrelated spatial processes: deterritorialization and reterritorialization. Deterritorialization involved moving non-Germanized Germans (mainly Jews and Slavs) off conquered Eastern lands to create an \"empty space\" that was then \"reterritorialized\" by the settlement of \"legitimate\" Germans (although often not German citizens). Although many German academics were involved in designing and implementing these spatial strategies, we single out two. Carl Schmitt provided a politico-judicial justification for reterritorialization involving the geographical expansion of the Third Reich: Großraum (greater space). Conceived four months before Germany's Blitzkrieg invasion of Poland that triggered World War II, Großraum provided the (literal) grounds for Nazi reterritorialization. Walter Christaller brought his peculiar spatial imaginary of formal geometry and place-based rural romanticism in planning the \"empty space\" of the East after non-Germanized inhabitants were removed. His central place theory re-created the Nazis' territorial conquests in the geographical likeness of the German homeland.
