The following paper is based on the research conducted for my PhD final thesis, in 2017, where I pursued an empiric exercise for Milton Santos’ proposition of a popular or demographic historic era, in which he argues that its existence presents itself as an opposition to the current globalization era supported by the technical- scientific-informational medium and that this popular era in grounded in the communication disenfranchised of Third World major cities. The statement I have maid, in the mentioned thesis, is that one of the ways that this communication crystallizes itself is through neighborhood relations and kinship of poor people at Salvador de Bahia’s popular districts and, therefore, I have identified dozens of these practices and exposed some of them in this paper. I have developed a poor people territorial concept, by which it is not only strictly binded to family income but incorporates elements of citizenship condition. The concept of popular neighborhood is also something that I assume authorship, while recognizing strong influences from seminal authors to these formulations. Another issue raised in this written piece is that to understand the existence of two historical eras, in the same time lapse, it is necessary to incorporate geography as an instance of social analysis.
