In this paper, we review and compare the works of Milton Santos (2008) and Roberto Lobato Corrêa (1995), which discuss the concept of geographical space, the object of study of geography. In this way, the authors' contributions to the renewal of the science are examined. In his work, Milton Santos encourages us to see space as a social product that arises from man's interaction with the environment. The concept of roughness refers to the marks that form over time in space. These marks are indicative of the importance of mechanisms, information and the reflections of globalization today and its relationship with space. Lobato Corrêa, on the other hand, highlights the importance of territory and territoriality, whereby territory is characterized as a demarcated area that exerts both political and social control. The focus is on the analysis of the relationship between power and territoriality, through the perspectives of the main social actors who shape the organization of space. The issue of multi-territoriality and the construction of identities continues to be discussed, highlighting the various meanings that space harbors, as well as making a comparative analysis of their different approaches. The authors' perspectives offer theoretical and methodological tools for analyzing spatial dynamics, allowing for a more complex and integrated understanding of geographical space in contemporary times.
