EnglishIn this paper I discuss the importance of images of space and consequently of maps as possible spatial figurations aimed at understanding aspects of reality which help in the construction of human thought and imagination. In the following sections, I think about the emergence of cartography, understood as human activity aiming development of graphical representations of spatial relations. I also approach the problem of the concept of cartography that I use, because the conception which is adopted for it is a great watershed of different looks and cartographic practices. Finally, I do a brief exercise of thinking about the act of mapping at different historical moments, trying to give importance to how the modern cartography represents nature, or its constituent elements. The aim is to demonstrate that each era and society have their own cartography, which is an expression of human relationships with their space, with other elements of nature and geography of each time. portuguesNeste texto abordo a importância das imagens de espaco, e consequentemente dos mapas, enquanto figuracoes espaciais possiveis voltadas a compreensao de aspectos da realidade, auxiliares na construcao do pensamento e da imaginacao humanos. Na sequencia, reflito sobre o aparecimento da cartografia, entendida como atividade humana voltada a elaboracao de representacoes graficas de relacoes espaciais. Abordo ainda a problematica relacionada ao conceito de cartografia que utilizo, pois a concepcao que dela se tem e o grande divisor de aguas dos diferentes olhares e praticas cartograficos. Para finalizar, fiz um breve exercicio de reflexao sobre o ato de cartografar em diferentes momentos historicos, procurando dar relevo a forma como a cartografia moderna representa a natureza ou seus constituintes. O intuito foi o de demonstrar que cada sociedade e epoca possuem uma cartografia propria, expressao das relacoes dos seres humanos com o seu espaco, com outros elementos da natureza e da geografia de cada epoca.
