Contramapeamento indígena: aproximações entre a cartografia crítica e o decolonialismo

Abstract

This study discusses the relations between decolonialism and critical cartography. We start from the consideration that the map is not a neutral support to represent space, translating power relations. Given this assumption, we ask the following question: how could the representation of space through maps criticize the logic of coloniality/modernity and reveal narratives that are subjugated by colonialism? We propose that the resistance to the discourse of coloniality could be explored in the indigenous counter-mapping practices.
