Territorio como medium: Discusión sobre rendimientos analíticos para las observaciones de la complejidad socio-espacial

Abstract

The article characterize 'territory' as a medium and discuss its analytical advantages to observe socio-spatial complexity. First, we present a conceptual outline for distinction medium/form to analyse social phenomena (I). Then we characterize territory as a medium for the construction of forms, and show the ways in which observers build expectations about what they observe when territory is thematized in communication (II). As conclusion, we discuss the relevance of territory for future researches on social inclusion and exclusion (III).
