The Politics of Mapping. Bernard Debarbieux

from two of them which deal with the power effects of state cartography in a historical perspective (Farinelli and Debarbieux), the chapters that follow focus on the analysis of very current issues: the use of participatory mapping (Burini, Lardon), opening up the field of possibilities of mapping production to semiological and political innovations (Lévy), uses aiming at illustrating and defending the interests of Indigenous peoples (Hirt), the challenges posed by the explosion of data and digital mapping (Gautreau and Noucher), including in the work of international organizations (Dao), the use of alternative forms of representation to contribute to public debates (Clochard) and the changing modalities of state cartography applied to land use planning policies (Bailly).

However, these chapters take contrasting forms. The first group (Lévy, Farinelli, Gautreau and Noucher, Burini) is made up of essays: they are less concerned with offering a panorama of the academic production on the issues dealt with than with offering a personal reading. A second group (Debarbieux, Dao, Hirt) brings together texts that share a more encyclopedic concern; they attempt to identify the main orientations of the many works related with the chosen theme. A third group (Lardon, Bailly, Clochard) is made up of accounts of experiences: the authors are cartographers who are heavily involved in interactions with administrations, elected officials, groups of inhabitants and associations, and they show practical methods of mapping within particular political contexts: the past 20 years of cartography within the French administration of regional planning (Bailly), various territorial diagnosis and projects of local or regional scope (Lardon) and cartographic works aiming to illustrate migratory issues on modes capable of changing their representations (Clochard).
