Abstract

Doi: 10.12957/geouerj.2015.19159

The main objective of this paper is to understand spatial representations from the perspective of the subject and subjectivity. The "spatial turn" opens the possibilities of interpretation of space from an interdisciplinary perspective where the centrality of the subject and subjectivity regain the interest of Geography. The relationship between the material and sensible space dimension involves the social construction; hence the interest in the place and symbolism in his sensitive dimension, as forms of spatial representation are specified on places. Thus, the "trialectics of spatiality" open interdisciplinary dialogue from subalternity as a form of resistance to hegemonic representations in the context of globalization.
