MULTIPLE SCALES PERSPECTIVES ON NATURE-SOCIETY RELATION: AN ESSAY ABOUT YOUR THEORETICAL-METHODOLOGICAL CHALLENGES

Abstract

The problematization about scale issue on Geography linked, mainly with representation issues, from its connection with the cartographic scale and its role in the apprehension of geographical space dynamics, demonstrate the importance of an in-depth study of the theme. In this context, the present paper has searched to approach considerations about geographic scales incorporating a debate on movement-space issues, from scales as social construction and interrelationship between scales. These contributions worked as bases to elaborate a schema-synthesis that aims to work with multiescalarity on geographical space apprehension, understood through the dialectical relations of nature and society dynamic. This approach allowed articulate the reproduction process of geographical space with the movement of spatial differentiation as a synthesis of space configurations of nature and society, considering these moment apprehension and its contradictions through a multiscale perspective.
