Abstract

This essay seeks to elucidate the meaning of a Geography that is practiced on a daily basis, evidencing it from unreflective and first qualities, a geographicity (DARDEL, 2011). It is based on the assumption that the spatial practices of everyday life reveal themselves in specific situations in time and space, creating conjunctures and contexts that enable, through thinking in scale and moments of perceptual synthesis, the construction of territorialities, as well as the regionalization of our actions day after day. We conclude that the spatial dimension of everyday practices and actions - a dimension inevitably intertwined with life and living - concerns “cuts” that range from near to distant, from concrete to abstract; and that these ways of creating and producing spaces on a daily basis inexorably entangle us in nets of relationships and situations that will permeate our everyday places, territories, landscapes, and regions.
