Concepts are instruments that guide and delimit the analyses. In the case of the concept of territory, the dynamics generated by the conflicts between different social groups and the mechanisms of spatial appropriation are structuring elements. Nevertheless, there are other forms of analysis that do not require the characterization of such distinct and autonomous social groups and focus processes of a different nature than the mere appropriation of space. The concept of public space, for example, gives rise to other elements essential to the discussion of space and power, such as the coexistence between different individuals who share the same space and establish regulations for it. All the problems and challenges of this social engineering and its spatiality remain little known and studied in part, by the overvaluation of territorial consideration. O artigo discute a tendência do uso exclusivo do conceito de território, entre os geógrafos, na análise das relações entre espaço e poder. Conceitos são instrumentos que orientam e delimitam as análises. No caso do conceito de território, as dinâmicas geradas pelos conflitos entre distintos grupos sociais e os mecanismos de apropriação espacial são elementos estruturantes. A despeito disso, há outras formas de análise que não demandam a caracterização de grupos sociais tão distintos e autônomos e focalizam processos de outra natureza, diferentes da simples apropriação do espaço. O conceito de espaço público, por exemplo, faz emergir outros elementos essenciais à discussão sobre espaço e poder, tais como o da convivência entre diferentes indivíduos que compartem um mesmo espaço e, para isso, estabelecem regulações. Todos os problemas e desafios dessa engenharia social e sua espacialidade permanecem pouco conhecidos e estudados, em parte, pela sobrevalorização da consideração territorial. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/9702 10.34096/ps.n3.9702 spa Instituto de Geografía "Romualdo Ardissone", UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/9702/8513 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/9702/8531 Punto Sur; No. 3 (2020): Geografía, política y resistencia en América Latina; 153-169 Punto Sur; Núm. 3 (2020): Geografía, política y resistencia en América Latina; 153-169 2683-7404 territory public spaces power politics território espaços públicos poder política Public spaces and territories.
