Transnational networks of social movements in Latin America and the challenge of a new territorial construction social

The present paper starts from two considerations: the need to establish an interdisciplinary dialogue between geography and sociology on the problem of territory and of the spatiality of politics; and the verification that the construction of transnational networks of organizations and social movements constitute a key dimension in the current latin american processes. By the light of those considerations the authors examine the transnational networks built from social movements in Latin America, based in a social and territorial focus. Under this perpective are analizados the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra MST (in englis, Landless Rural Workers Movement), from Brasil e a Federação Uruguaia de Cooperativas de Moradia por Ajuda Mútua FUCVAM (in english, Uruguayan Federation of Cooperatives for Home Building through Mutual Help) , from Uruguay. In this analysis will be observed the challenges, the formation of anti-hegemonic spaces and the convergences faced by experiences of this nature in the search for emancipatory projections, in the XIX century.
