My doctoral research, "Enseada da Baleia entangled (im)mobilities in the Anthropocene. A relational story of humans, fish, and water," examines the (im)mobilities faced by the small island community of Cardoso Island off the south coast of Brazil. (Im)mobility refers to the dialectical relationship and co-constitutional production of mobility and immobility (Adey, 2006) and the production of mobility for some at the cost of others' immobility (Sheller, 2020). The thesis tells the story of climate change as a form of slow violence under racial capitalism. It argues that neoliberal policies commodify nature and have created (im)mobility regimes that determine who can move, when and under what conditions. The Enseada community has been forcibly (im)mobilised to a precarious and disappearing location, jeopardising their culture, identity, and lives. In 2016, rising sea levels and coastal erosion forced the caiçara fishing community Enseada to relocate. Climate change, real estate speculation, neoliberal conservation laws, and declining fish stocks continue to threaten the community's livelihood and the island's integrity.The thesis challenges the idea of linear time using allegories of water, waves, and deepness to articulate the concept of 'thick' temporalities, connecting the community to ancestral practices and lives. The community's (im)mobility practices and sense of time emerge through engagements with non-human agents. Their kinship with the sea and fish embodies these practices. The thesis contributes to a nascent understanding of (im)mobilities in the Anthropocene with an awareness of the historical exclusion of colonial, racial and capital violence from environmental considerations. Here the Anthropocene is a heterogeneous phenomenon embedded in historical and ongoing violence and the resistanceof marginalised populations. I merged the mobilities research framework and a relational ontology to consider how agents (humans and non-humans) influence each other's (im)mobilities. To account for the different agents and temporalities, I use meshwork.The thesis's theoretical contribution uses the meshwork to understand (im)mobilities and relationality in the Anthropocene, enabling an understanding of uneven mobilities regimes through time and multispecies relations. With its uneven configuration, the meshwork enables an understanding of multispecies relations (Ingold, 2011). Thus, I propose that (im)mobilities in the Anthropocene are relational phenomena happening in thick temporalities and involving various agents.The thesis also presents an innovative and collaborative methodological approach. Decolonial and feminist approaches were used in ethnography to co-produce data and knowledge with the Enseada community, challenging its questionable colonial history. The approach created spaces for the community to choose how to be represented and investigated, generating a collaborative approach to studying (im)mobilities in the Anthropocene.Finally, through its empirical evidence, the thesis shows that the fictional static way of understanding the nexus between climate change and (im)mobilities (in its various forms of migration, relocation, displacement etc.) cannot cope with communities' dynamic realities. In other words, it claims a need to think of mobility as a normal condition of life in the Anthropocene. Thus, the urgency to reframe how we see the world and its connections from a static to a mobile perspective.This fellowship aims to disseminate the findings of the thesis to academic and non-academic audiences, including the Enseada community, who hosted and collaborated on the research. I will publish in academic journals, deliver public lectures, and present at international conferences. I will also visit Enseada to discuss objectives for further research. These efforts are an important step towards achieving environmental and mobile justice by highlighting the struggles and resistance of the Enseada community

我的博士研究，“Enseada da Baleia纠缠（IM）在人类世的移动性。一个关于人、鱼和水的关系故事，”考察了巴西南海岸卡多佐岛小岛屿社区所面临的（非）流动性。（Im）流动性是指流动性和不流动性的辩证关系和共同宪法生产（Adey，2006）以及以他人的不流动性为代价为某些人生产流动性（Sheller，2020）。这篇论文讲述了气候变化作为种族资本主义下一种缓慢暴力形式的故事。它认为，新自由主义政策将自然商品化，并创造了（非）流动性制度，决定了谁可以移动，何时以及在什么条件下。Enseada社区被强行动员到一个不稳定和消失的地方，危及他们的文化，身份和生活。2016年，海平面上升和海岸侵蚀迫使Caiçara渔业社区Enseada搬迁。气候变化，真实的房地产投机，新自由主义的保护法，以及不断下降的鱼类资源继续威胁着社区的生计和岛屿的integrity.The论文挑战线性时间的想法，使用寓言的水，波浪和深度，阐明了“厚”的时间性的概念，连接社区的祖先的做法和生活。社区的（非）流动性实践和时间感是通过与非人类代理人的互动而出现的。他们与海洋和鱼类的亲缘关系体现了这些习俗。本论文有助于对人类世中的（非）流动性的初步理解，并意识到从环境考虑中排除殖民，种族和资本暴力的历史。在这里，人类世是一种异质现象，嵌入了历史和持续的暴力以及边缘化人口的抵抗。我合并了移动性研究框架和关系本体论，以考虑代理（人类和非人类）如何影响彼此的（im）移动性。为了解释不同的代理人和时间性，我使用了网络。本论文的理论贡献使用网络来理解人类世中的（im）移动性和关系性，从而能够理解时间和多物种关系中的不均匀移动性机制。由于其不均匀的结构，网络使人们能够理解多物种的关系（Ingold，2011）。因此，我认为人类世中的（非）流动性是发生在浓厚的时间性中的关系现象，涉及各种代理人。非殖民主义和女权主义的方法被用于民族志，以共同生产的数据和知识与Enseada社区，挑战其可疑的殖民历史。这种方法为社区创造了选择如何被代表和调查的空间，产生了一种研究人类世中（非）流动性的合作方法。最后，通过其实证证据，论文表明，理解气候变化和（非）流动性（以其各种形式的迁移，搬迁，流离失所等）之间的联系的虚构的静态方式。无法科普社区的动态现实。换句话说，它声称有必要将流动性视为人类世生活的正常条件。因此，迫切需要从静态到移动的视角重新构建我们如何看待世界及其联系。该研究金旨在向学术和非学术受众传播论文的研究结果，包括主持和合作研究的Enseada社区。我将在学术期刊上发表文章，发表公开演讲，并出席国际会议。我还将访问Enseada，讨论进一步研究的目标。这些努力是通过强调Enseada社区的斗争和抵抗，实现环境和移动的正义的重要一步
