The present work was originated from the probing into a new way of researching in the field of the humanities, based on an ethical, esthetic and political paradigm that aims at collating the knowledge constituted by modernity. Inquiries related to the Cartesian approach to the production of knowledge point to a variety of theoretical proposals that call the researcher from his/her place of demanding and listening to the speech to a position of assuming that they can rather be the consequences of what is implied when suggesting the speech. If telling and listening constitute translation webs in the search of creation of meanings, the registering and writing of what has been told might also be similarly questioned, i. e., as a matter to be instituted by the very act of its creation. It is from this perspective that the emergence of the art of Cartography can be recognized as a tool in analyzing society and its narratives.
