Violence: A Factor in the Emergence of Territory
The objective of this article is to verify the hypothesis that violence constructs territory. To this end, the mechanisms of territorial construction by violence are described as a function of the dynamics of territorialisation. The structure of the interface combining violence and an appropriate terrestrial space is outlined, and a theoretical diagram used to demonstrate that violence is a vector of territorial construction. Two examples follow that serve to test the viability of the proposed tool. An awareness of these constructions and mechanisms should make it possible for our societies to partially avoid the consequences of the dynamics of territorialisation precipitated by violence.
