Abstract

The boarding area by along Oiapock River, between nowadays Amapá Brazilian State and French Guyana, was the stage of a long content litigious amid both countries. This article analyses some geographical views over the region. We began the text with the authority based on the scientific view over the space. By the way, we followed with the official speech of the Brazilian’s government presented to support his mission for colonization and occupation of the northern territory. By other hand, this last official speech was enfaced by popular testimonies of ancient inhabitants of the region, people more worried with their day-a-day survivor than any new expectative to belongs or notbelongs to a national state. We intend to riche this understanding with the speech wrote by Foucault on power and geography and, also, his heterotopy concept. Keyboards: imperialism, power, heterotopy, Amapá, French Guyana
