Possible contributions of cartography to the ethical-aesthetic-political paradigm

Abstract

Considering cartographic method’s specifics of the, out of which we highlight the disruptive orientation and a non-prescriptive direction for  researching, and the absence of previously established objectives, we intend to present cartography as a method of construction and description of a “landscape", as a phenomenon and movement. Our strategy was to rescue the historical construction of what we call cartography today in Foucault and Deleuze, passing through the visions of Guattari and Suely Rolnik – a journey through her book Cartografia Sentimental – and finishing up with in connection with the Manifesto Antropófago of Oswald de Andrade – a mark of the Brazilian modernism. We intent to build up a cartography of our experience as an intern. Firstly, we expose the ideas that allow us to think on the cartographic method as a possibility; secondly, we present the ways this method works, and its instruments. Last, but not least, we highlight the important contribution cartography has offer to the ways we’ve been constructing knowledge, especially in psychological practices – in of which the ethics, aesthetics, and politics aspects are always inseparable.
