Seeks to analyze the dialectic in Boaventura de Sousa Santos perspective from the application of the society division ideology by cartographic lines that segregate the "visible" – what's on the "here" line – from the "invisible" – the other end. The work presents a construction based on the several meanings that the expression can take including its use as a method in the scientific research in social sciences. Finally, the Post-Critical theory orientation contributes to the analysis of the dialectic, by presenting itself – according to Santos – as the most appropriate to the current time: postmodernity.
