Temporal and spatial locations are deeply rooted in relations of power; hegemony has thus been granted the consent to map the globe, ultimately proscribing any attempt at thinking the present historically and pinpointing who are those subjects still occupying the supposed eliminated spaces. Development, on its turn, interferes not only in the economy but in many other institutions and practices; it has altered the historical pattern of the Amazon, and involuntarily invited diverse forms of resistance to these processes to surface. Having said that, this study?s general object of research concerns the Amazon and its relationship with contemporary developmentalist enterprises both in the material and ideological level; such object as represented and retextualised within Hatoum?s novel The Brothers (2000) consist in the specific focus of my literary analysis, which endeavours to allow reflections on Amazonian imagined geography to be articulated.Keywords: Amazon, Literature, Geography]A GEOGRAFIA QUEER DA AMAZÓNIA PÓS-COLONIAL: LITERATURA COMOREMAPEAMENTOResumoLocalizações temporais e espaciais estão profundamente enraizadas em relações de poder; à hegemonia foi concedida a autoridade de mapear o globo, eventualmente proscrevendo qualquer tentativa de se pensar nopresente historicamente e apontando quais são os sujeitos que ainda, supostamente, ocupam espaços eliminados. O desenvolvimento, por outro lado, interfere não só na economia, mas em muitas outras instituições e práticas; ele alterou o padrão histórico da Amazônia e involuntariamente convidou diversas formas de resistência a esses processos a emergir. Sendo assim, o objeto principal desta pesquisa concerne à Amazônia e a sua relação com os processos desenvolvimentistas contemporâneos tanto no nível material quanto ideológico; tal objeto, como representado e retextualizado no romance de Hatoum Dois Irmãos (2000) consiste no foco específico de minha análise literária, que busca permitir que reflexões acerca da geografia imaginada da Amazônia possam ser articuladas.Palavras-chave: Amazônia, Literatura, Geografia
