| Summary: | Port spaces are complex social structures that condition social development and, in turn, are modified in the same process. These structures are made up of a multiplicity of elements that include: movement of goods and people, a changing floating population, an intense and varied cultural exchange, migrations, tourism, circulation of information and the settlement of industries, among others. This diversity, almost unapproachable in its entirety, constitutes an invitation for the social sciences to approach their study from an interdisciplinary perspective.This book is the result of the effort carried out by the Port Studies Network in this regard. The activities carried out by the network link researchers who, from different scientific disciplines, inquire about different aspects that make port spaces current and past. The set of texts gathered in this compilation is a clear example of this work and also constitutes a sample of the breadth of aspects from which these spaces can be studied.
