Cyberspace: Discussing the Possibilities of Geography 4.0

ABSTRACT: This article reflects the research carried out in the PhD thesis in Geography, defended in 2024 at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM, Brazil), which positioned geographic science with its categories of analysis in relation to cyberspace and its virtualization process, elaborating a specific definition of what we call "Geography 4.0" and what we analyze as cyberregion.   guided by interscalarity. Cyberspace is a topic with little research in Brazil, especially in Geography, which should broaden its discussions in the face of the transformations of the society interconnected by networks. In the globalized world, capitalist society is increasingly inserted into cyberspace due to its social, economic, political, religious, cultural dynamics, etc. The Internet has betrayed many benefits, such as quick access to information and knowledge, offering a new form of entertainment and relationships, but it also has conflicts, violence and losses. Geography must offer theoretical, methodological and axiological tools that allow students to interpret social relations in virtuality and that provide conceptual, procedural and attitudinal bases that contribute to the formation of digital citizenship.
