Abstract

The present work aims to understand how the relationship between individuals and places can be understood by the analysis of corporeities. Reinforcing the role of the body in the individual’s relationship with space is important for us to understand how these bonding links are created, as well as to understand the reflection of identities in corporeities and ways of acting in places. Tuan (1980), Oliveira (2014), Chaveiro (2014), Gomes (2013), Relph (2014) and others provide theoretical support for the understanding of the concept of place and some different views that Human Geography has on this category of geographic science analysis. This article concludes that the relations with the place are given by the experience that individuals have with the space and that the body is the vehicle by which they experience it. Therefore, it is important to reflect on identities and how they influence the connection of individuals with place through corporeity.
