O ESPAÇO NA SOCIOLOGIA CLÁSSICA (space in classical sociology)
Abstract
Este artigo desenvolve uma breve análise de trabalhos de Émile Durkheim, Max Weber e Karl Marx, autores que no século XIX e início do século XX, desenvolveram os pilares sobre os quais se assenta o conhecimento sociológico. A intenção é buscar entender o significado e a representação do espaço geográfico expressos na obra de cada uma destes autores. A abordagem sobre espaço feita por autores tão relevantes da Sociologia sem dúvida seria assimilada por sociólogos que os sucederam. Teria contribuído de alguma forma para a construção da Geografia e para estabelecer relações entre esta ciência e a Sociologia? A leitura atenta destes autores permitiu concluir que as referências a questões relativas ao espaço, considerado em seu conceito mais usual de substrato material, no qual a sociedade se organiza de formas às vezes sutis, indiretas, se dá em situações onde não há como deixar de referencia-las. Grosso modo, observou-se preocupação deles em reduzir explicitamente a importância do espaço, se contrapondo ao determinismo geográfico dominante à época do desenvolvimento de suas teorias sociológicas.Palavras-chave: Geografia, Sociologia Clássica, Representação do Espaço.
ABSTRACT
This article presents a brief analysis of works of Émile Durkheim, Max Weber and Karl Marx, authors in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. They developed the pillars on which rests the sociological knowledge. The intention is to understand the meaning and representation of geographic space expressed in the work of each of these authors. The approach about space made by these authors so relevant for the sociology would undoubtedly be assimilated by sociologists who succeeded. Would this approach have contributed in some way to the construction of Geography and to establish relations between this science and sociology? Considering the space a concept of substrate material where society organizes itself, a careful reading of these authors concluded that references to issues concerning the space are sometimes tenuous, indirect, made in situations where it is impossible not to reference them. It was observed that sometimes these authors were concerned to reduce the importance of space even going against the grain of geographical determinism, which was dominant at the time of development, their sociological theories.
Key words: Geography, Classic Sociology, Representation of Space.
RESUME
Avec le but de comprendre le sens et la représentation de l’espace géographique dans les œuvres d’Émile Durkheim, Max Weber et Karl Marx, l’article met en evidence comme l’approche de l’espace fut realisé au XIXe siècle-début XXe, ainsi que son assimilation par les sociologues modernes. Ils ont contribué, en quelque sorte, à la construction de la géographie et ont parvenu a établir des relations entre la sociologie et cette science? Une lecture attentive des œuvres en question suscite un cadre où l’espace est pris en compte dans une conception plus habituel de substrat materiel et dont la société l’organise de façon subtile, indirecte, et dans des situations où il est impossible de ne pas le référencier. Il a été observé que, parfois, ils ont réduire l’importance de l’espace et en opposition au déterminisme géographique, concept dominant l’époque de leurs théories sociologiques.
Mots-clés: Representation de l’Espace, Sociologie Classique, Géographie.
