El territorio como categoría fundamental para el campo de la salud pública

ABSTRACT This essay seeks to conceptually approach the category of 'territory', assuming it as an essential research category in public health sciences. The first part addresses the territory as a marker of wellbeing and ill-being of society in relation to three cases of territorial configuration: territories of extractivist accumulation; urban territories of sacrifice and territories of life. In the second part of the essay, territory is discussed as a research category in public health.
