The concept of territory and research in social sciences
Abstract
Territory is a theoretical and methodological concept that explains
and describes the spatial unraveling of social relationships that
human beings establish in cultural, social, political or economic
areas; it is an empirical reference, but it also represents a
theoretical concept. In this essay, the concept of territory is
analyzed from the viewpoint of epistemology, as knowledge that
is built from social discipline(s), taking into account that its
contents change as social relations in the world are transformed;
then, territory is analyzed as an interdisciplinary concept based
on research approaches from sociology and geography, and the
methodological difficulties that arise in the development of any
process in social research are considered.
