SAQUET, MARCOS AURELIO. The Method of Coexistences in the University-Territory Interface. Perspectiva Geográfica [online]. 2023, vol.28, n.2, pp.1-.  Epub Nov 27, 2023. ISSN 0123-3769.  https://doi.org/10.19053/01233769.15892.

With the objective of summarizing some of the experiences we gathered over the course of 25 years on action-research conducted through historical (phased) and simultaneous approaches, we reflect on two major theoretical-methodological and political questions that we consider fundamental in our territorial research. We begin by debating coloniality versus decoloniality and hegemony versus counter-hegemony. We address this in the first section of the text to guide our reflection on what we call the method of coexistences. This approach has been essential in participatory-action-research processes because it promotes integration between the university and the territory toward a fairer and more ecological society.

Keywords : Coexistence; participatory-action-research; decoloniality; territory; university; geography.
