SUMMARY:
Waste, end of the world, expressions that brings up a severe delayed quality, empty, and mainly of an empty ahistorical,where nothing happens, between the topologic lexicon that gives meaning to what once was Arraial de São Francisco de Assis do Onça, today attached to São João Del Rei’s county – MG and established as Emboaba’s district, even though in disagreement with the local comunity that insists in using their old toponym. The “povo do Onça”, historical protagonists that, despite having their scriptures in space made unseen and neglected by the symbolic centers of the modern world, make the waste a space filled with meaning, affection, memories and habits that gives them a sense of collective community. Through the hypothesis that the toponymic disagreement present on Distrito de Emboabas/Onça amasses more than a punctual nomenclature on Minas Gerais’s districtal grid, but hides a complex conflictivity that establishes itself on the constituent cleavage of a modern/colonial world system, the following paper has the main goal of weaving a territorial formation analysis of Emboabas’s distric with emphasis on the local comunity’s uses and territorial representations. With this purpose, reasoned on latin-american geographical tradition of territorial analysis, the following discussion comes from the popular activation of of their old toponym of ‘Onça” as an empirical entryway of its territorial investigations. In a complex and constant process of friction, symbiosis and tension with imposing global projects of an universal civilizatory model equated on Europe as socio-cultural center of the world, other histories and local knowledge are impeled to elaborate strategies to make them visible and livable, as opposing the contradictions that modernity lays unto their territory. When paying attention to the socio-metabolic relations between populational de-ruralization of Emboabas’s District with modern brazilian agriculture, especially with regards to the expansion of soybean monoculture on the Campo das Vertentes-MG region, the paper propose a critical reflection towards socio-environmental impact triggered by the soybean monoculture complex production on a districtal comunity, as well as seeking to raise situated strategies of conter-hegemonic organization in the face of capitalist instrumentaliziation of their territories. As an explicitly baroque aesthetic-political operation, the “povo do Onça activate their ancient toponym of catechesis, as a device for rescuing a past that makes itself present as a community accomodation and displacement between the epistemological borders of modernity. Although in a process of precariousness and territorial development, a baroque cartography emerges from Minas as an affirmation of a ecclesiastical praxis of central importance for regulating the material and imaterial flows of the the Onça community.
