| Abstract | |
Geography as a discipline benefits from a privileged position to contribute to an unambiguous definition of the process of transnationalization of social movements, since this theoretic effort is accomplished on an object specifically geographical: the socioterritorial movement. The transnational character consists in the territorialization of a single movement within the borders of more than one Nation-state. The advantage of Geography lies in its ability to expose this process in an unequivocal way, being able to stablish the meaning given to the transnational, a notion that has been defined rarely. The Latin American Agro-ecological Institutes (IALAs) of Vía Campesina are an excellent example. IALAs are devoted to produce the new territoriality for the next generations of peasant leaders to think in continental scope, overflowing the limits of the national frame. Therefore, the IALAs show the pecualiarity of a transnational dimension when compared to the simple international coordination of national organizations. This phenomenon can be reconstructed as a theoretical process by which a trans-territoriality is produced in a transnational immaterial territory and manifests and produces effects on other scales. The result is an intentionality in movement as an agency of a community of individuals beyond national identities. (AU) | |
