| Sumario: | This essay aims produce a critical reflection about the construction of senses of place through mobility practice in the light of a humanistic-cultural look. We limit ourselves to building an theoretical debate, based on the main references in discussions of place in the humanist geography. Unlike what many geographers have been pointing, we believe that the humanist perspective does not exclude the central role of mobility in the production of places. Although the term "place" presents itself as one of the main concepts in geography, the debate around its conceptualization is still scarce, especially regarding the relationship between place and mobility. We intend with this essay enrich the discussions around the concept of place and its importance in the geographical interpretation. |
