Abstract
Peace studies have long ignored social theories about spatiality and have considered space as an abstract container that does not contribute anything to understanding peacebuilding. This article shows how spatiality has been treated in peace studies and how peace has been treated in spatiality studies to discuss possible and fruitful dialogues between the two fields of knowledge.

Notes
- 1.
There is enormous literature that has built a relational and critical notion of social space to show that social space is composed of society-nature relations, the spatial logics of modes of production, and the appropriations and daily and existential constructions of space-time. In addition to Henri Lefebvre (Lefebvre 1991), Milton Santos (Santos 2002), David Harvey (Harvey 1997), it is key to mention authors such as (a) Thrift, Nigel (2008). Non-representational theory: Space, politics, affect. Routledge; (b) Whatmore, Sarah (2002). Hybrid Geographies: Natures Cultures Spaces. SAGE. (c) Massey, Doreen (2005). For space. Sage; (d) Porto-Gonçalves, Carlos Walter (2009). Territorialities and struggle for territory in Latin America: geography of social movements in Latin America. Ediciones IVIC; (e) Werlen, Benno (1993). Society action and space: an alternative human geography. Routledge.
