Resumo
The present thesis [journey], through the hermeneutic interpretation of Peter Sloterdijk works, especially the Spheres trilogy: Bubbles, Globes and Foams, consists of aspiring an intersection between the philosopher's thought and geographic science, focusing on two elements that, primarily, would safeguard this intersection, namely: ontotopology and relationships. The initial scope is to cross, througout these phenomena, but with a special focus on Phenomenological Geography and its opening to a greater amplitude when studying space. Space, as a rule, as we recognize, is predominantly given to us in a way that makes us think in a static way, in a hermetic fixity. However, based on Peter Sloterdijk’s thinking, it is notead that and, above all, the need to overcome this established and predominant way of considering space, especially when we need to further amplify ontological studies on space, place and existence, key subjects to in Geography. Therefore, the thesis proposes to reach its goal through what will be designated as a journey, understood as the accomplishment of a research that will be carried out through routes, from which it is possible to broaden the debate on the subject, pursuing new openings and expanding new corridors that allow us to reach new geographical and phenomenological horizons grounded in a sufficiently consistent way, through, mainly, the work of Sloterdijk. Based on theories of immunization systems, mediology, contained in Peter Sloterdijk’s General Theory of Spheres, the thesis also proposes such a transposition [journey] taking this philosopher as a fundamental piece to generate the intended encounters in articulation with geographic science. Along the traced routes, it will be possible to better highlight the purpose of the journey through Ontology and Phenomenology, welcoming Peter Sloterdijk’s Theory of Spheres. I anticipate that navigating through the seas that the thesis will navigate can lead to different paths, however, in terms of the routes of this work, space is the key and through which it will be linked to a perspective that permeates the composition of what Sloterdijk calls under the notion of Spheres, as well as our nature as designers of interior spaces, intimacy and immunization systems, there will be a possibility of reaching “dry land”. The field of Geography, in this sense, breaks with a fundamental limitation: that space, to be understood, must only be apprehended as the space of physical, palpable extension, and that its abstract attributes - which distance themselves from the element associated with physical extension - are not considered relevant for its interpretation and explanation. The present thesis is not consistent with such a restrictive perspective of understanding the meaning of space, but, on the contrary, aspires to a path that is capable of transcending this vision
