Sociabilidade e espaço: as formas de organização geográfica das sociedades na era da terceira revolução industrial - um estudo de tendências

Abstract

This article is an analysis of the geographic theory of relationship between men and nature, and supports the validity of the use of the concept of sociability according to Lukács in this context. This concept sees the human society as a global relational context that integrates the inorganic, organic and social spheres as a whole articulated by the work. It points out that sociability gives the ontological sense of the geographic space, that does not exist in the genre de vie (Vidal de Lablache) and technical space (Milton Santos) theories. It associates the concepts of genre de vie, technical scientific space and technical scientific and informational space with the specific forms of the relationships between men and nature existing throughout various historic periods and constituting different geographic spaces. Likewise, it considers that it is a geographic job to reflect on the influence of the expansion of the financial capital and of the genetic engineering technique in the definition of the spatial forms in the new technical era.
