Abstract
Spatial differentiation is the result of the combined action of natural and social processes that produced a fragmented, irregular, complex, and unstable, although articulated, earth's surface. The earth's surface can thus be seen as a kaleidoscope, open to different interpretations. Geographical terms such as landscape, region, territory, place, and network reveal different readings on spatial differentiation. The latter, however, does not constitute a key concept inside geography's literature but interfere in geographers’ motivation and their perspective analyzing human action on earth's surface. Temporality and spatiality are present in spatial differentiation. Spatial inequality is the perverse side of spatial differentiation and must therefore be eliminated. A socialist spatial differentiation is a possible trail to the future, ensuring that differences in the ways of seeing, feeling, thinking, knowing, communicating, and acting continue to exist.
