| Sumario: | Considered as "appropriate space", the territory is not only a support to shelter
human groups and to offer resources to economic activities, but also an active
matrix of social relations. From this point of view, territoriality turns out to be
inseparable from power relations. Under this Iight, territorial configurations are the
resultant of processes of territorialization and reterritorialization that are defined in
the interplay of various actors taking part in the territory construction by imposing
their aims, implementing their strategies and, finally, exercising their respective
power quotas.
One of the ways in which the power is expressed in the territory is the normalization
process. It would be the case of a certain technology promoted globally by sectors
of power, in which a specific notion of development is embedded. Promoting and
adopting that technology is a way of modifying the territory configuration. From this
interpretation, technologies offer valuable indications for understanding the
mechanisms by which power determines social relations and materializes spaces.
In this line of thinking, this work explores the ways in which the power is expressed
in globalization and analyses some mechanisms by which it takes part in territorial
organization. |
