Abstract

This article streams between a research report, a theoretical essay and a literature review in the field of tactile cartography, which is specialized in the manufacturing of cartographic products for people with a vision disability. Thus, in this text, the LTIG/PUCRS researchers long for sharing their knowledge on the construction of tactile spatial representations, expressing ideas, critique and ethical reflection involved in such activities, as well as, along the explanation, they review the specific literature presently available. The authors defend the return to the concrete as a possible abandon condition of a world more and more predisposed to homogeneity and flatness.
