geotechnologies, Geographic Information System (GIS), critical vision, social and political dimensionAbstract
Until the present moment, the technology of Geographic Information System (GIS) has been analyzed under a merely techinical viewpoint. That happen due to the adoption of a methodological positivist approach. Such approach is insufficient for the understanding the inherent social and political dimension in the use of geotechnologies in geographical science. For that reason, a new approach centered in a critical paradigm is proposed. Such technology is analyzed as an instrument according to the lefebvriana triad of the spatial practices, of the representations of the space and of the representational spaces. In this perspective GIS becomes more than a simply system of information, and turns to be a true system for formation and action.
