Questioning place as a concept and category of humanist geography

Problematizando lugar como concepto y categoría de la geografía humanista

Abstract

This article discusses place as a concept/category in Geography, particularly, in Humanist Geography, emphasizing its transformations through an ontologic/phenomenologic approach. In this context, I explore place as an openness to the outside, as a processual/multiscale phenomenon, and as a spatial creation/production. Therefore, my reflections on the concept of the place were updated and deepened in this article as a return to my previous studies and research on this topic and its operationalization as a concept/category.

Keywords:
Place; Geography; Humanist geography; Spatial creation/production
