Spatial differentiation , Mosaic , Kaleidoscope , Temporality , SpatialityAbstract
Spatial differentiation is the result of the combined action of natural and social processes that produced a fragmented, irregular, complex and mutable, yet articulated earth surface. The earth's surface can thus be seen as a kaleidoscope, allowing for different readings. The terms landscape, region, territory, place and network reveal this diversity of readings regarding spatial differentiation. This is not a key concept in geography, but is the motivation, the look with which the geographer analyzes human action on the earth's surface. Temporality and spatiality manifest themselves in spatial differentiation. Spatial inequality is the perverse side of spatial differentiation and must therefore be eliminated. A socialist spatial differentiation constitutes a possible path to the future, guaranteeing differences in the ways of seeing, feeling, thinking, knowing, communicating and acting of human beings, different and simultaneously equal to each other.
