It is desired to open the debate within geography and its relationship with the social sciences
on this dimensional milestone of the genesis of geography as a social science since Strabo, its
institutionalization in academia, its genesis as political geography of Darwinian biologicist origin, its
later mutation as geopolitics and its use as part of the expansionist policy of the imperial countries of
the 19th century. Geography and his job as a geographer was transformed by geopolitics as a weapon
of domination in the space and time of Europe and “Latin American”; Geopolitics and anarchist
geography were victims of the consequences of hegemonies in the academic and military field, the
first was accused of conspiring in favor of the Nazis in World War II and the anarchist theory was
accused by Marxism of not being rigorous scientifically, both were disappeared or banned from the
academy until recently. Geography from the horizon of meaning with modernity is also a means for
emancipation or the “antidotes” as Morín would say to us from the same West, some geographies to
graph from below and the earth as well as being more verb and not noun as Porto-Gonçalves would
say: The political geo-graphs of the des / coloniality of power.
