摘要
It reins certain confusion between geography as materiality and Geography as the science which studies the geographic dimension of the world materiality. Geography, as a scientific field is compound of different actors with specific interests generally gathered in an institute with the broader objective of promoting and producing geographic studies and their professional procedures. Several articles are then prepared about geography as materiality - the geography of places, regions, cities, national territories and etc by the actors of the geographic science. Formal rules and philosophical influences, which change in space and time, are clearly evidenced in these studies developed by Geography experts. On the other hand, geography as materiality, an object of study of Geography and a concern to several professionals in the area, is constituted by spatial formats of distinct nature - physical, biological and social which, all together, compose and change, from their own order onwards, different geographic environments. These environments form the territories and the places, concentrate the spatiality and territorialities and are generated by social interests as well as act on them. As a matter of fact, the geographic environments are a social continuality, with no mobility in the local scale, but ability to rapid connection and long reach once they incorporate technical objects. Using materialist realism as a guide, this work intends to highlight the distinction between Geography as a science and geography as materiality and to reflect on the social-spatial dynamics of the geographic environment based on three words whose concepts have been developed for the analysis of geography as materiality: spatiality, geographicity and place.
