The article has as objective to observe how the algorithm present on twitch’s homepage, which defines streamers to highlight in a carousel format, perpetuate or not intersectional oppressions. For this, we initially conceptualize and contextualize the streaming of games, the dynamics of oppression in the game culture, and the Twitch platform to in a second moment ascertain this through an analysis of content produced from the one-month collection of data from the platform’s homepage. The result showed that the dynamics of oppression (male hegemony, heteronormativity, gender and race violence, meritocracy, and toxic culture) are reproduced by the algorithm in the choice of streamers, which prioritizes disseminating male, white and heterosexual streamers.

This article aims to compose an analytical framework about the production of contemporary Brazilian geographers who have the indigenous theme as one of their central aspects, based on the research and data collection in texts and articles produced on this theme from 2004 to 2016, in congresses in this area. We work with the texts of the "Encontro Nacional de Geógrafos (ENG)" and the "Simpósio Internacional de Geografia Agrária (SINGA)", from which we organize quantitative data, in addition to analyzing which concepts and theoretical-methodological perspectives Brazilian geography has been addressing these issues. We identified an increase in production on indigenous themes in geography, but we highlight the need for greater convergence between studies in this area. This text constitutes a starting point in the sense of knowing and making visible the geographical productions in Brazil in the face of indigenous themes, as well as the protagonism and acting of geographers in this field in the last decades.
