CULTURAS, IDENTIDADES E TERRITÓRIOS: A REINVENÇÃO DOS CONCEITOS MEDIADOS PELA LINGUAGEM

Abstract

We propose to make in this work a brief theoretical discussion of the concepts of culture, identity and territory, understanding their “mobile” character, as well as the relationship with the historical, political and economic aspects in which they are inserted. Hall (2006) states that it is through language that we mean the world and give meaning to our social relationships. As we re-signify the world and these relationships, we also change the way we express them through language. Haesbaert (2008) addresses the need to think about such concepts from an integrating perspective, as approaching them in a dichotomous way doesn’t seem to correspond to the increasingly dynamic society in which we live. From these discussions, we approach territorial identities from the research of Morais (2016), in order to understand this hybrid concept, as well as its historical, political and economic implications in the context of the identity construction of Acre.
