Abstract

This article is the result of dialogues with different Latin American Social Movements and different philosophical matrices that approach this subject in Geography. Your main objective is the conceptualization of what the social sciences have historically dealt as Social Movements, from the rise of the concept in the 19th century to the recent indigenous-peasant-female insurgency on Latin America. Methodologically speaking, our base starts with Marxism-Leninism until the so-called eco-body-territorial turn, materialized in the concept of Body-Territory. The article is the result of a dialogue between three separate studies dealing with the theme of Social Movements in Latin America, based on field data, dialogue with political-community leader’s and theoretical discussions. We conclude that it’s essential for the understanding of Social Movements the space-time reality in which these subjects are organized. Furthermore, we’ve noted a phase, in the context of globalization, where the spatial dimension was deleted from the Social Movements debate, but it’s territorial base was recently rescued in the Latin American case.
