Abstract

Reflections are increasingly manifested in the field of research and teaching. This
suggests a playful and vivid character and risk setting in motion the exercise of
deconstructing a geographical science more attuned to the rules and normative
standards that imprison its arts. Therefore, the choice of the title of the article
refers to horizons in the plural, a word that reports to varied future possibilities and
directions, capable of affirming a creative and original geographical science art. Art is
fundamental for the creation of other realities by the creative inspirations that spring
from it and allows geography to reorganize theoretically–methodologically, in its
close relationship, with and in the world.
