| Long abstract | The map as a tool for domination is the visual inscription of a seam-less story for a specific group of people sharing specific character-istics. It represents their history, knowledge and claims for control within a territory with specific borders.So what is a map as a tool for liberation?That would be a visual representation of and by a multiplicity of publics. It would represent their history, experience, knowledge and imaginaries of and within a shared space. Multiplicity entails rup-tures. Within those ruptures lies the possibility for democratic spatial representation and organization. This tool is not to be confused with tools for negotiations. This is a public platform for the collective for-mation, aggregation and dissemination of public opinions. Nor is this a practice of counter-mapping, as it doesn’t consist of building upon an initial map for developing its counter-product. |
