Abstract

In southwestern Amazonia (Rondonia and Acre) a recent process of modernization produces a territorial content update, which is expressed in a new set of objects (material forms) and the life that them animates (actions). The more direct implication of this process is manifested, in some measure, in a redefinition of the functions of cities in the network cities, which becomes more complex, because it incorporates one new territorial divisions of labor. New contents are inserted but the old problems persisting, reinforcing the territorial inequalities.
