Abstract

The problematization of space is a challenge that Geography faces since its constitution as a science. This paper seeks to think about how the space can be understood as embodied from a theoretical effort and an experience lived in a school - when the author carried out the teacher training internship, which can be revived throughout the master's research. For this, it is assumed that space is produced and that the body is a fundamental element in this process of spatial production, in which the body is also produced. Furthermore, the production process of difference directly interferes with these productive processes – of the body and space –, reverberating in the production process of life. Furthermore, the production process of difference directly interferes with these productive processes – of the body and space –, reverberating in the production process of life. In this thought experiment, it is important to understand the paths that lead to spatial embodiment, within the relationship with the queer studies and the fractality. These analytical tools make possible another horizon of analysis for thinking about space, body, difference, life and school. Thus, our modes of existence can be perceived as factors of spatial constitution in the tangle of these productive processes, which are in constant movement.
