Building a research path called metageography begins with an initial question: is unveiling the world based on space, that is, based on the spatiality of social relationships, the task and objective of geography? Assuming that in the scope of the division of human sciences, geography embraced the analysis of space, the challenge to be addressed is that of thinking about the world and our status in the world through an understanding of space. But what kind of space are we talking about? Mathematicians have certainly produced knowledge about space, as well as philosophers. Geographers have also covered a long path in the construction of a “geographical space”. Along these same lines, Geography (which has considered it to be a disciplinary object) has a lot to contribute to this understanding, with respect to the knowledge accumulated from research that centers on the man-nature relationship, as well as its capacity to clarify the role of space as an indispensable element of understanding the modern world. Brazilian geographical production (like all other disciplines) is characterized by differences, that is, by different ways of thinking about and studying geography. This opens up different paths of research, which consequently lead to different ways of establishing geography in the overall scope of knowledge production about reality. What underlies a determined choice is a conception of society, a view of the university and the role of research in the modern world. It is worth noting that differences in the theoretical-methodological approach are a condition for the constantly evolving knowledge production in the face of the transformations of society. However, being characterized by specialties, the whole – in many cases – can only be glimpsed and is thus not necessarily problematized in the work of geographers. This becomes a great challenge to overcome for two reasons: first, because the analysis of the modern – urban – world points to the role of space as a crucial place and time in reproducing the capitalist society.
