A (des)construção do conceito de espaço e de saúde à luz da abordagem humanista e cultural

Resumo

This article aims to a reflection about the humanist contribution to a geography that legitimises the subjective dimension of space when applied to the interpretation of health-disease framings and also to the health care that is attributed to them in those contexts. Therefore, we shall present the main theoretical and methodological framings that design the cultural construction of space and health, not without, beforehand, revisit the concepts of disease and infirmity, by (re)discussing the concepts of place and landscape – in their cognitive construction, within a trans-cultural, polysemic, plural conception of space.
