abstract:
New technologies are introducing important changes in all scientific objects, especially in the field of Geography.
Ubiquity of media, above all new media, provides top down and bottom up generated contents. These contents can be produced everywhere and at any time. An increasing use of new media brings about an overproduction of texts and images that, furthermore, puts a greater emphasis on the Territory. Large volumes of accessible forms of narration, are increasingly available. Known as web generated content, despite being almost impossible to verify often have an extremely strong influence both in and over territorialisation processes. This change is highly significant and calls into question social relationships and the subjectivities.
