The text addresses two concepts of territory: one chiefly political, and the other which seeks to incorporate other social agents that also make use of the territory, albeit without the sovereignty of the State. To address these two concepts, we seek to bring up to date the debate on the theme of territory, while at the same time, seeking the genesis of its construction. For this discussion, we first address the area of practical construction of the political territory, as the basis of the action of power of the State; secondly, we reflect on the theoretical construction of the concept of territory.
