Dinâmicas socioterritoriais das relações campo-cidade e rural-urbano no município de União dos Palmares-AL

Abstract

Country-city relations have undergone profound transformations that demand the need to discuss the redefinition of rural and urban areas in Brazil. This new dimension of social, economic, political and cultural relations established between the countryside and the city requires the understanding that these territorial cuts must be thought of, as a totality, as interdependent and complementary spaces. The proposal is to analyze the current socio-territorial dynamics of country-city and rural-urban relations in the municipality of União dos Palmares-AL, aiming at apprehending new interdependencies and complementarities that characterize these spaces and their social content. It starts from the understanding that countryside and city are spatial forms, whose rural and urban contents constitute the social relations that configure the specific way of life of each of these spaces. However, these contents can extrapolate their supposed spatial limits of origin, manifesting ruralities and urbanities that combine both in the countryside and in the city, constituting hybrid spaces. The territorial approach reveals that Palmares' socio-territorial dynamics manifest the interdependencies and complementarities existing between the countryside and the city in the municipality and the way in which their contents are presented through urbanities and ruralities.

KEYWORDS: Ruralities, Urbanities, Hybrid Space.
