| Book Description | The "Inverted Map of South America" (1943) and a different map. First, because it was not made by the canons of cartographic science, but by the hands of an Uruguayan artist, called Torres-Garcia. Second, because it did not use the conventional orientation to the North, but reverses the positioning of the South to the top of the image. The present research was motivated by the differentiated world view that this artistic map presents, where the objective and to understand the diverse contexts that reproduce this map, contributing to its notoriety until the present day. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the meanings, questions and ideologies expressed in this inversion, since they contribute to the identification with the work in times beyond its elaboration. In this sense, the research was based on a bibliographical examination of currents of thought that offer a critical view on the processes of historical formation of the global South, notably postcolonialism and post-development. Such theoretical subsidies aid in a map understanding that is as plural as world views can be, tracing a relationship between geopolitics, cartography and art. |
