PRODUÇÃO SOCIAL DO ESPAÇO: POLÍTICA E PROCESSOS FORMATIVOS EM GEOGRAFIA

Abstract

The objective of this article is to establish a reflection based on some authors who, throughout the history of geographic scientific thought, have been preoccupied with producing conceptual reflections, proposing to apprehend phenomena of reality through the specific look of Geography. For this, it is necessary to establish a questioning - not with a focus on producing answers, but new questions - regarding the plots elaborated by the authors and authors that will be exposed here. The question that guides the production of this text is the following: What is the relation between the production of geographical concepts and the temporal cuts in which they are elaborated? In this regard, I search through the next paragraphs, to develop a reflection that goes against the aforementioned question. Thinking about the production of scientific knowledge may mean relating to the socio-spatial clipping about which a given reflection is (was) produced. Neither does Geographical Science have its epistemological history detached from this fact. Throughout the history of humanity and its social changes, the knowledge produced also went through conceptual changes linked to the reality of the time. Taking this aspect as a starting point for questioning the production of geographic scientific knowledge, its concepts, as well as its questions, it is valid to establish a discussion with Moreira (2014).
