HERNANDEZ NILSON, Diego. El control de la movilidad espacial como ejercicio de poder sobre el territorio. Pampa [online]. 2011, n.7, pp.31-46. ISSN 2314-0208.

This paper analyse the relation between territory, mobility and power at two groups of theories. First, an heterogeneity group of anthropology studies and researches, and then, another group of post-structuralist studies. The paper goes deeper at this second group, analysing the concept of biopower and his implications to the power aspect at the territoriality notion. In this way, the article has an intrinsic interest as a presentation about the principal concepts elaborated from both groups of studies for analyse territorial issue. The analysis highlights the contact points between these groups, particularly in respect to the regulation and limitation of spatial mobility as power exercise over a territory. Also, the paper could generate interest as exposition of two perspectives of territorial issue, frequently unacknowledged or don’t used at the area of territory studies at regional academy.
