Resumen

En los últimos años, una vibrante literatura interdisciplinaria e internacional ha venido redescubriendo áreas de la tradición geográfica cuyos exponentes no coincidían con el estereotipo clásico, racista y patriarcal del geógrafo, como hombre blanco académico occidental que directa o indirectamente contribuía al colonialismo, la guerra y el conservadurismo social. Investigaciones de fuentes primarias, actualmente en curso, han demostrado que las primeras tendencias progresistas, disidentes y poco ortodoxas en la historia de la disciplina fueron más penetrantes e influyentes de lo que se creía. En este artículo, defino a este movimiento como el redescubrimiento de “Otras Tradiciones Geográficas” (OTG) y propongo que esta noción puede permitir ampliar nuestra comprensión de la geografía como un campo plural y disputado. Si bien gran parte de esta literatura comprende estudios sobre las tempranas geografías anarquistas y críticas, sostengo que este concepto debe extenderse a la producción académica del Sur Global en idiomas diferentes al inglés; producción que también contribuye mucho al descubrimiento de diferentes tradiciones geográficas, tanto política como culturalmente. Para ello, abordo estudios recientes latinoamericanos, en español y portugués, sobre la historia y la filosofía de las geografías críticas. Además, el hecho de que estudiosxs “del Sur” estén releyendo y traduciendo figuras clásicas de geógrafxs “del Norte” constituye una inversión de la antigua mirada colonial Norte-Sur a la Sur-Norte. Esto sugiere que el estudio de las OTG también debería considerar diferentes tradiciones culturales y lingüísticas desafiando, así, el monolingüismo tanto en las revisiones de literatura como en la selección de fuentes.
