An Atlas of Radical Cartography

摘要

Mapping is increasingly being utilized as a tool of subversion and as a technique to create alternative spatial authorities. Court battles like the Awas Tingni indigenous land title in Nicaragua (2001) speak to the force of collective action and mapping testimony. Efforts of radical activists around the globe invoke Situationists' methods (eg detoumement) to reconceptualize space from a neoliberal grid into a realm of satire, empowerment or simply, possibility. The editors of An Atlas of Radical Cartography contribute to this milieu with their book of essays and full-color maps.
