Territories in dispute. Poetics and politics from the south
Territory is a spatio-temporal totality that is not simply given, but constructed. It is a dynamic instance that has a physical existence in certain coordinates of time and place; a relational existence, ubiquitous, polysemic and at different scales due to the link with contiguous or discontiguous territories. It is about a social existence as a social construction through a space-time product of conflicts of interests between social agents with different logics of reproduction as well as about an emotional existence linked to the identity and affective reproduction of each society.
