LEITE, Maynar Patricia Vorga. To cartograph (in) the prison. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.3, pp.795-813. ISSN 1808-4281.

This paper aims to enlighten specific defies, faced to research using the cartography as a method within places such as prison, where the movements are restricted. Cartography as a research methodology should be considered an ethic exercise of the possibility of moving around, whereas prison would precisely be the moralistic coercion against doing so. Though this text was written from a cartographic research developed in a penitentiary, it is not a report of this investigation, but a peculiar analysis about the dispositives and tools that made possible to cartography in prison, and which potentialities were highlighted when practicing this methodology in conditions so limiting to its execution. In order to expose this process of cartographying (in) the prison it is needed to show the pathways opened to enter this field, the adoption of cartography as an exercise and an ethic position, and an analysis of the prison in the course of the research. In order to do all this, it is necessary to query how, why, what and what for do a cartography inside the prison, dealing with some considerations about knowledge policy and economy. This way, this paper poses the cartography as a possible and potent method to research in the space of prison.
