A CONCEPÇÃO DE NATUREZA NA GEOGRAFIA (the nature’s concept in geography)
Abstract
Aparentemente definir-se Natureza é fácil. Contudo, não teria a idéia de Natureza um aspecto polissêmico? Não seria seu conceito, apenas produto de contextos históricos, produto de nossa história? Especificamente para o conhecimento geográfico o entendimento do que é Natureza é de primordial importância, uma vez que ela constitui-se em um dos conceitos fundantes de nossa ciência. Ao compreender como as concepções de natureza influenciam o pensar, o agir sobre a natureza e sobre a própria construção do conhecimento, é possível inferir como as paisagens e os espaços são organizados, (re)estruturados, (re)interpretados e (re)construídos. Dentro deste contexto, considera-se Natureza como um conceito chave dentro de cada cultura (sociedade), sendo possível, através dele, melhor compreender as relações sociais e sócio-naturais que as caracterizam.

ABSTRACT
Normally to define Nature is easy. Has got the Nature notion a polysemic aspect? Isn’t is concept, just a product of particular historical contexts? It would not be its concept, only product of historical contexts, product of our history? Specifically for the geographic knowledge the agreement of what it is Nature is of primordial importance, a time that it consists in one of the fundantes concepts of our science. When understanding as the conceptions of nature they influence thinking, acting on the nature and on the proper construction of the knowledge, it is possible to infer as the landscapes and the spaces are organized, (reverse speed) structuralized, interpreted and constructed. Inside of this context, Nature is considered as a concept key inside of each culture (society), being possible, through it, better to understand the social and partner-natural relations characterize that them.
Key words: Nature’s concept, Geography’, Epistemology
RÉSUMÉ
Apparemment se définir Nature est facile. Néanmoins, n’aurait pas l’idée de Nature un aspect multiple ? Ce ne serait pas son concept, seulement produit de contextes historiques, produit de notre histoire ? Spécifiquement pour la connaissance géographique l’accord dont c’est Nature est de primordiale importance, vu qu’elle se constitue dans un des concepts fundantes de notre science. À la compréhension comme les conceptions de ils nature influencent la pensée, l’action sur la nature et sur la construction elle-même de la connaissance, c’est possible d’inférer comme les paysages et les espaces sont organisés, (poupe) structurés, (poupe) interprétés et (poupe) construits. À l’intérieur de ce contexte, se considère Nature comme un concept clé à l’intérieur de chaque culture (société), en étant possible, à travers lui, mieux comprendre les relations sociales et les sócio-natureles qui les caractérisent.
