Résumé En

The chapter delves into the changing significances of the concept of territory in space and time. It analyzes how territory evolved in association with diverse epistemologies grounded in the historical and geographical contexts to which scholars are bounded. Depending on the contexts in which it is anchored, territory has been thought of as a political conception, as a social construct, as a bottom-up approach to economic development and spatial planning, as a tool to decolonize the modern Western-centric approach, and as a concept allowing for thinking about societal transformation processes in times of crisis. Our semantic journey sketches out a geography of territory marked by a divide between Anglophone and Romance-language geography, where C. Raffestin played an important role in its renewal. The chapter is an invitation to acknowledge the multiple significances of territory going beyond a strictly political conception favored in Anglophone geography.
