This article presents the contemporary movement of environmental rationality and cartography as a means of overcoming the modern paradigm that promoted the instrumentalisation of science. In this case, the exploited approach lies on the border between the movement of modernity and contemporaneity regarding the conception of doing science. Thus, the topics that we will cover in this paper are related to these two movements. According to the diagnosis of the crisis of modernity presented by Boaventura de Souza Santos and the influence of the debate on environmental issues as introduced in this area by Enrique Leff, for example, and then, based on the authors of studies as Bruno Latour we seek to present a way of producing knowledge that is presented as cartographic. For that matter, promoting the approach of the discourse of environmental rationality to the discourse of cartography at this point can help overcoming instrumental rationality.

Keywords : Modernity; Actor-Network Theory; Rhizome.
