MGEO-4200 Espacio y Sociedad

This seminar will discuss how the different disciplines of the social sciences approach the conception of spatial phenomena. It seeks to understand and explain the overlapping of spatial elements with social and historical processes and to reflect on the cultural conditions that mold those processes. To do that, we will consider the relationship between the cosmological and linguistic structure of a culture and its notions about space. The seminar also studies changes in the approach to spatial problems and their relationship to transformations of society as a whole. Lastly, the course will explore the coordination between the structures of perception and representation of space in a society and the power relations that these structures reflect and inculcate.

MGEO-4300 Geografía Física

This course gives the student basic knowledge of physical geography as a field of knowledge, looking at the dynamics of the land surface and examining how it interacts with social dynamics in different contexts. To that end, we will examine the basic characteristics of the four subsystems that define the physical dynamics of the planet and the way they are interrelated. The course, then, provides the basis for understanding the functioning of the atmosphere (climatology), the mechanisms by which the earth’s crust evolves (geomorphology and geology), the dynamics of water as modeling the landscape and as a basic human resource (hydrogeography), and the factors that structure the distribution of living organisms on the planet, including the soil (biogeography).

MGEO-4400 Taller de Geografía

This subject has three closely related objectives: first, that students learn to make maps of publishable quality, second, that they gauge the importance of map making in the performance of socio–spacial analysis and, third, that they approach cartography in critical fashion. For said effect, the subject is divided into two types of session: the workshop where the hands-on activity of designing and making maps is carried out, for which Adobe Illustrator software is used, and the seminar which is centered on the analysis of cartographic material and the discussion of readings which allow understanding cartography of an historically and culturally structured way of conceiving and representing space.
