Abstract
This article aims to discuss the concepts of territory and vulnerability, based on the affectivity category, based on Environmental Psychology and on social psychology with a psychosocial and historical-cultural basis, when It seeks a dialectical understanding of the person-environment interrelationship. As an axis of observation, investigation and analysis, affectivity subsidizes an ethical perspective of social transformation in vulnerable territories as the guiding thread of coping strategies and proposing policies to protect populations subjected to inequalities. We indicate some interventions derived from theoretical-practical reflections that make it possible to understand the affections as potentializers of the subjects, by the implication of these with territories and collectivities, towards human emancipation processes.
