description This article attempts to review and synthesise the main debates in critical geography across both the Latin American and Anglo-Saxon traditions. By reviewing the main theoretical approaches including from political ecology, feminist geography, post-colonial and de-colonial approaches and the geography of motilities and migration, the aim of this article is to delineate a pan-Latin American approach to critical geography. We also consider why some approaches and topics have received greater or lesser attention in Latin American scholarship. Finally, we emphasize the importance of establishing a new transnational dialogue based on regionally situated critical research that questions and proposes new pathways in the production of knowledge from and about the region. We suggest this approach be nested in critical theory and committed to local political and territorial struggles.

Este artículo repasa de manera sucinta los debates en los que converge la geografía crítica en las tradiciones latinoamericanas y anglosajonas, así como las principales líneas de discusión en ecología política; geografía feminista; geografía poscolonial y decolonial; y geografía de la movilidad y las migraciones, con el afán de contribuir a delinear una geografía crítica latinoamericana. Además, se indaga en torno a por qué ciertas líneas investigativas han tenido mayor o menor acogida en la región, con énfasis en la importancia de abrir un diálogo transnacional que, con base en investigaciones críticas locales, retroalimente, cuestione, proponga nuevas vías en la producción de conocimiento geográfico desde, en y sobre la región y, en línea con la teoría crítica, se comprometa con las luchas políticas y territoriales en América Latina. Este artigo revisa brevemente os debates em que converge a geografia crítica nas tradições latino-americanas e anglo-saxãs, bem como as principais linhas de discussão na ecologia política geografia feminista; geografia pós-colonial e decolonial; e geografia da mobilidade e das migrações, com o objetivo de contribuir para delinear uma geografia crítica latino-americana. Além disso, se questiona sobre o porquê certas linhas de pesquisa receberam mais ou menos acolhimento na região, com ênfase na importância de abrir um diálogo transnacional que, com base em investigações críticas locais, retroalimente, questione e proponha novos caminhos na produção do conhecimento geográfico desde, na e sobre a região e, de acordo com a teoria crítica, se comprometa com as lutas políticas e territoriais na América Latina.
