Anthropology of territory

Abstract

The internationalization of capital, as well as the effect of media and knowledge production with rationalizing strategies, globally generate movements in the territories, and particularly on those areas rich in biodiversity, which are under pressure to open and trading products, assets, experiences and meanings. From a sociocultural perspective, the interest lived at local scale implies that the territories come up with different adaptive schemes. Adaptations that require collaboration and co-help of Social Sciences. The article aims to explain a strategy that, according to a discursive corpus linked to complexity, enables research in local areas and thereby enhance interlocutions with the global. In this sense, anthropology of the Territory is a theoretical-methodological approach reflective and active, whose attractors are the imaginary territorial research and ways to live and dwell.
