Focus and scope

The spatial turn allows us to understand that the dialectic of human relations produces a myriad of spatialities: rural-urban, sacred-profane, public-private, collective-individual, imaginary-factual, among others.

To discuss the relationship between History and Spaces is reevaluate a series of theoretical and methodological prerogatives that considered Space only as a scenario where history unfolds, a mere stage of historical events.

Thus, the objective is to publish and disseminate research projects that approach the relations between History and Space, focusing on the historical, socio-cultural, economic aspects that characterize Space as a production of human relations. The Journal’s organization has seven sections: presentation, articles in the thematic dossier, free session, review, interview, translations and historical documents that can be submitted by graduates and undergraduate students, masters and doctors, university researchers as well teachers of basic education, in order to provide a dialogue between teaching experiences and scientific research.
