It seeks to sketch human and nonhuman trajectories that gave existence, silenced and retaken these maps which, in this last movement, came unaccompanied by encounters that gave life to it: the body, the canoe, the rippling of the sea.

O texto se articula em torno de um grupo de mapas: os mapas de varetas de ilhéus do Oceano Pacífico. Procura esboçar trajetórias humanas e não humanas que deram existência, calaram e retomaram esses mapas que, nesse último movimento, vem desacompanhados de encontros que lhe davam vida: o corpo, a canoa, a ondulação do mar. Traços de uma imaginação espacial insinuam-se pelos exemplares sobreviventes e reconstruções atuais destes mapas, mas a ausência do pensamento ilhéu, que conduzia a arte de deslocar-se no movimento, os mantém numa insuperável incompletude, uma cartografia impossível de atualizar. A partir das trajetórias esboçadas, busca-se problematizar como o ocidente subjugou saberes e pensamentos e consolidou isso em mapas ou, nas palavras de Doreen Massey, como os mapas ocidentais tiraram a vida do modo como imaginamos o espaço. Ao mesmo tempo –e a partir disso– toma-se estas trajetórias como intercessoras para o pensamento de/em/com geografias menores, de cartografias in possíveis.
