Trajetórias epistemológicas da Geografia: uma análise do conceito de território nos estudos agrários.

Abstract

The concept of territory has an important space in the theoretical-conceptual references that achieve the investigation of issues related to the field. Thus, the objective of this monograph is to analyze how the concept of territory has been used to base research on agrarian geography developed within the scope of Brazilian scientific production. Therefore, we carried out a literature review based on the Annals of the Simpósio Internacional de Geografia Agrária (2003-2019). The choice of this event as a cutout is justifiably justified from the centrality that the event has been playing in agrarian geography. Furthermore, the selection of the concept of territory as an object of study is justified due to the historical importance of the concept of territory in geographic thinking and by the its centrality in the field of agrarian geography. In the set of bibliographic review carried out, the completeness of authors such as Claude Raffestin, R. Haesbaert, Marcos A. Saquet, Milton Santos, Marcelo L. de Souza, Bernardo M. Fernandes and Ariovaldo Umbelino de Oliveira was evident. Furthermore, the concept of territory was treated from different perspectives, with a multidimensional approach prevailing.
