Este artigo tem como objeto de estudo seis mapas produzidos em Portugal e na Catalunha, enquanto dispositivos comunicativos de outros mundos possíveis. Assumindo a crescente importância dos mapas digitais na sociedade em rede, queremos contribuir para entender mais sobre o seu papel na edificação de alternativas à economia dominante em tempos de crises sistémicas. Que aprendizagens surgem dos mapas que propõem desvios dos roteiros capitalistas? Que entendimentos nos trazem quer sobre os próprios mapas, quer sobre os modos de mapear e as desejadas alternativas? Mais do que explorar os mapas como produto, procura-se contribuir para a compreensão das forças intersticiais da sua pré-produção, produção e reprodução. À luz das teorias dos comuns, são auscultadas dinâmicas de mapeamento colaborativo de economias diversas: diversas quanto às suas políticas de conhecimento, quanto às suas formas de governança e participação e, logo, quanto ao modo de manusear as tecnologias digitais. O objeto de estudo define-se e une-se, na sua variedade, pelas ideias de coletivo e de comum. Os dados provêm da observação direta de mapas e de entrevistas feitas aos intervenientes. A análise é predominantemente qualitativa e visa organizar constatações e desafios relevantes, extrapoláveis a partir dos testemunhos, práticas e objetos observados. |

This paper’s object of study focuses on six maps produced in Portugal and Catalonia as communication devices of other possible worlds. Assuming the growing importance of digital maps in the network society, we want to contribute to learning more about their role in constructing alternatives to the dominant economy in times of systemic crisis. What lessons emerge from maps that propose deviations from capitalist roadmaps? What understandings do they provide about the maps themselves, ways of mapping, and the hoped-for alternatives? Rather than exploring maps as a product, we seek to contribute to an understanding of the interstitial forces of their pre-production, production, and reproduction. In the light of the theories of the commons, the dynamics of collaborative mapping of diverse economies are explored: diverse in terms of their knowledge policies, modes of governance and participation and, therefore, in how they handle digital technologies. The object of study is defined and united, in its variety, by the ideas of collective and commons. The data comes from direct observation of maps and interviews with stakeholders. The analysis is predominantly qualitative and aims to organise relevant findings and challenges, which can be extrapolated from the observed testimonies, practices and objects. |
