Structuration and space: The perspective of Place

Abstract

This article introduces a research line developed from the intersection between Social Theory and Human Geography, that is, the perspective of Place. This perspective is a theoretical and methodological proposal developed from the threads of the Structuration Theory, by exploring the possibilities of the inclusion of space as a key element for social life structuration. The main point of this work is, in one side, to underline how the dialogue between disciplines opens frameworks to analyse social and political life, through the perspective of Place; and, in the other, to deepen in a geographical heuristic tool to update questions about the relationship between theory and methodology in research processes.
