Considering the Amazon as its main reference for understanding the relationship between space and power, it is involved with three lines of research: the Amazonian socio-spatial formation and the multiple temporalities and territorialities produced; the analysis of territorial conflicts considering the different agents, interests and strategies involved, as well as the formation of regional blocs of power; the subsystems of production that conform the territorial complex and their articulations to spatial circuits in multiple scales.
