Abstract

This short text aims at exploring the dimensions that constitute our territories as social enterprises, that is enterprises of coexistence. The starting point is the idea of territories that we have in order to answer to specific problems related to the social coexistence itself. The text explains the type of problems involved and what territorial constitutions derive from them. Today, a territoriology as a science of territories cannot but begin from the realization that «territories are living». But with what lexicon, with what concepts and with which analytic instruments can we talk about our contemporary territories?
