Abstract
The construction of the History of Geographic Thought (HPGeo) of the Semi-arid Northeast is a necessary and important study for understanding its consolidation in the scientific and (inter)national aspects. The objective is to analyze the construction of the History of Geographic Thought of the Semiarid Northeast of Brazil. The methodology is based on bibliographic research, seeking the theoretical-methodological support of the theme investigated and enabling the analytical interpretation of historical studies of geography and its scores with regard to the philosophical condition of the Brazilian Semiarid. The results are that its occupation, exploration and domain was based on hegemonic geographical perspectives, according to its historical epoch in chronological course at its level: (inter)national. Another important result was that the main predominant concepts were: geographic determinism, rationalism-systematic and mercantile-commercial capitalism at the Northeast level. Under the analysis in the regional section in the semi-arid region, two primary aspects were analyzed: the Conceptual and the Institutional one. The first focused on three relevant conceptual perspectives: Man, Nature and Economics (N-H-E). The second focused on the institutional, due to the systematic (organized) framework and the framework as a collective: the Farm, the Catholic Church and the Patriarchal Family. With this, geography is founded not only on resisting, but also existing, of transforming determinants into certain and possibilities in the feasibility of building, in today, the future in/your belonging to tomorrow.
