GONZALEZ, Alejandra Adela. Amnesic territories, mindful lands. Ñawi [online]. 2019, vol.3, n.2, pp.37-49. ISSN 2588-0934.  https://doi.org/10.37785/nw.v3n2.a3.

The concept of territory, the result of the struggle of marine or terrestrial military

powers, will be taken according to the perspective of law philosopher Carl Schmitt.

It will be review from the perspective of the coloniality of power raised by Peruvian thinker Aníbal Quijano. From there, will be problematized conceptual operations whose effects on the real produced historical changes such as mapping, aestheticizing, representing, theologizing, pedagogizing. The decolonial turn would involve subverting the canonical forms of building territories under the imperial logic to turn to a notion of lands linked to other sensitive perceptions and to a memory abolished by the modern world system.

Keywords : Territorialization; cartography; decolonization of power/ knowledge; sensitization.
