PENSA, LAURA. The Return of the Visual in the Study of Cartographic Documents: Analysis of a Plan for the Paraguay Governance towards the Mid-17th Century. Front. hist. [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.1, pp.38-60.  Epub 01-Jan-2021. ISSN 2027-4688.  https://doi.org/10.22380/20274688.1237.

This article gathers the key contributions of visual studies in the study of cartography, and its relations with critical cartography and colonial studies. Coming from a critique of the harlean method, the possibilities of a hybrid methodology in the analysis of these documents are highlighted, one that incorporates its visual and textual aspects. Though the analysis of a plane for the Paraguay governance towards the mid-17th century, we exercise an approach to these documents that can speak not only for its visual or textual content, but for the regime of visuality of which they were part, and the role this regime assigned to both indigenous and non-indigenous groups.
