Abstract

Apparently, it may seem redundant or unnecessary to highlight the need to study the territory, however, this is not just any research we are arguing for. With this, we are, initially, reassuming our territorialist option to, soon after, establish an intimate relationship between the territory and the indigenous, African and peasant cosmologies, trying to contribute to the theoretical, conceptual, methodological and political qualification of a popular territorial science made through participatory-action-research. One of the results noted is the strong link between this theoretical-practical, horizontal, dialogical and reflective perspective with a decolonial and counter-hegemonic territorial conception in the context of university-territory, science-popular knowledge, subject-subject, teaching-research-extension/cooperation relations. 

Key-words: Territory, popular science, praxis, participatory-action-research.
