Abstract
Contemporary thought referring to science gave a very important turn in the 1960s and 1970s, especially in France. Several authors questioned the pre-eminence and immutability of historical discourse. In their works the critical space and the territorial analysis began to be the main concerns. This process is known as the “spatial turn” in contemporary knowledge. The present spatial and territorial epistemological proposal refers to the USC, namely the research group ANTE. It is trying to become a powerful referent for the territorial reflection in the Galician, Iberian and international university context. It is concerned with the study of the great issues of the current world from the perspective of the critical social theory. The effects of globalization and urbanization, rural change, abandonment and aging, environmental impacts, tourism or endogenous and sustainable development are central themes in an approach that always relies on analysis at different scales.
