This dissertation aims to analyse the politics of spatial imagination in International Relations (IR). The discipline’s ubiquitous division between internal and external defines the concept of the international as a space of anarchy, contrasting with the national as a space of political order, which attempts to establish a timeless, uniform, material, and neutral space. However, the constitution of space and its methods of classification, division, and control are deeply intertwined with the creation of spatial imaginaries and violent processes of racial, colonial, gendered, and class containment and expropriation. One example is the ongoing violent expropriation of Amerindian territories in the Americas. Consequently, this research addresses the following question: How do the modern-Western and Yanomami cartographic imaginaries relate to each other in the constitution of the Yanomami Indigenous Land? The central argument is that the Yanomami Indigenous Land is constructed and experienced from an alternative semantic field that conceives it concerning a set of cosmological coordinates that transcend the mere existence of a bordered space within Brazilian territory. Drawing on post-colonial engagements, the International Political Sociology (IPS) lineage of thought, and Yanomami cosmology – specifically, the work of Davi Kopenawa, a Yanomami shaman and spokesperson – the research examines alternative cartographical perspectives on territory and space. Utilising literary cartography-inspired methods, the study adopts a counter/cartographic style to examine: the constitution of the space of the Americas during the colonial period; the depiction of violence and war as images associated with Amerindian populations; the violent process of invasion of Yanomami territory resulting from the infrastructures of gold extraction; and a critique of the cartographies of capitalism, war, and territory through Kopenawa s thought.
