ABSTRACT
In the study of geography, territory
mainly aims at understanding the power relations reproduced within a certain
space. In post-modernity, it gains new attributes and perspectives, regularly
readapting and fragmenting itself. Even in current times, multiterritoriality
is reproduced from the context of globalization, leading by the migratory
flows, thus allowing new (re)adaptations. It is in this context that the
current work discusses new territorial processes referring to Venezuelans
moving to other territories, which until then were not included in such
processes, now representing new destinations, being (re)modified and obtaining
unprecedented aspects, such as the Northwest Fluminense region, which due to
the interiorization policy, was impacted by new migratory dynamics. With the
objective of identifying the territorial developments related to the processes
of displacement of Venezuelans, it is proposed to clarify the question of
multiterritoriality in the globalized world, represented especially by the
network-territories and the increase of diasporas. With a qualitative
methodology that encompasses a bibliographic review on the proposed theme, it
is considered relevant to highlight such unprecedented dynamics, discussing the
impact of migratory movements in spaces far from the traditional axis of the
capitals and large Brazilian urban centers, such as the small cities located in
the interior of the state of Rio de Janeiro. Based on a qualitative methodology
that encompasses a bibliographic review on the proposed theme, it is understood
to be relevant to highlight these unprecedented dynamics, especially with the
current complexity of political-legal and spatial devices, discussing or
impacting two migratory movements in spaces far from the traditional one
between the capitals and two large Brazilian urban centers, as well as the
small municipalities located in the interior of the state of Rio de Janeiro.
