【 摘 要 】

The intersections between Philately and Cartography in Brazil have generated over 350 stampsthroughout history. This study analyzes the Brazilian philatelic cartography and the geographicintersections taking place within Brazilian postal stamps, intersections deeply related toCultural Geography. Geographic intersections materialized in the symbolic representation ofpostal stamps are intimately related to culture and its relationship with space. The analysis ofpostal stamps carrying maps and other cartographic elements identified the presence of topological,distance, and location relationships, as well as trajectories and flows. On the otherhand, maps and projections also carry strong symbolic appeal, bringing information that transcends topological and distance relationships, usually addressed in cartographic documents.The initiative and results of this study reveal a plethora of analytical possibilities focusingon Brazilian postal stamps, especially those related to classic geographic themes.
