ResumoA Geografia Humana, que só recentemente desenvolveu maior interesse pelo território, associa-o, conforme as circunstâncias, às idéias de poder e controle, à natureza do laço social ou ao papel das representações simbólicas. O interesse das ciências sociais pelos problemas de identidade cresceu paralelamente ao interesse dos geógrafos pelo território: a identidade está vinculada à cons-trução do “self” ou às relações com o outro, e permanece como uma noção elusiva. O território serve como uma base para sentimentos de identidade de diversos modos. A transição para a pós-mo-dernidade desafia as forças por trás de identidades tradicionais, que induzem a uma busca de identifi-cação para objetos ou paisagens. Isso provoca o fim das filosofias da História sobre as quais foram construídas as identidades e os territórios de outrora. A subseqüente proliferação de discursos iden-titários expressa o déficit de sentido de mundo de hoje e pode se revelar perigoso por suas conse-qüências políticas. Palavras-chave: Controle, História, Identidade, Alteridade, Pós-modernidade, Poder, “Self”, Território.
Abstract
Human geography, which developed only recently an interest for territory, links it, according to the circunstances, to the idea of power and control, the nature of social link, or the role of symbolic representations. The interest of social sciences for the problems of identity grew at the same time than that of geographers for territory: identity is linked to the construction of self or the relations with others, and remains an elusive notion. Territory serves as a basis for identity feelings according to variable modes. The transition to postmodernity challenges the forces behind traditional identities, which induces a frienzed quest of identification to things or landscapes. It provokes the end of the philosophies of history, upon which were built the identities and territories of yesterday. The ensuing proliferation of identitary discourses expresses the deficit of sense of the world of to-day, and may be dangerous through its political consequences. Keywords: Control, History, Identity, Otherness, Postmodernity, Power, Self, Territory.
