Un monde obèse
En 2030, on estime que la moitié de la planète sera obèse ou en surpoids, entraînant une explosion du diabète, des maladies cardio-vasculaires et de certains cancers. Enquête sur un fléau planétaire.
Alors que l’obésité charrie son lot de clichés, des gènes tout-puissants aux volontés individuelles défaillantes, et que les industriels comme les autorités publiques continuent de pointer du doigt le manque d’activité physique ("Manger moins, bouger plus"), ce fléau ne serait-il pas le fruit d’un échec collectif mitonné dans nos assiettes ?
Puis les des voix s’élèvent pour dénoncer les conséquences funestes de cette révolution, les multinationales de l’agroalimentaire, jamais rassasiées, dépensent des milliards en lobbying pour préserver leur pré carré, tout en répandant le poison de la malbouffe et des boissons sucrées à travers le globe.
Il faut des citoyens engagés pour dresser un état des lieux édifiant de cette épidémie planétaire, qui constitue le problème de santé le plus grave au monde. Mais si les constats, étayés de chiffres, se révèlent effrayants, le documentaire en expose les causes de manière limpide, et explore des solutions pour stopper cette bombe à retardement.

Tassiana Willis, 24, is a poet, singer, and actor from San Francisco. “The Longest Mile,” is bookended with an anecdote about running the mile in school, but what Tassiana really wants you to take away from the piece is reflecting on the “tragic traditions” low income families are often forced to practice when some of the most marketed and accessible sources of joy are unhealthy foods.

En janvier dernier, une carte “sensible” de la ville a été réalisée par le collectif Ne rougissez pas ! à partir de témoignages et de dessins d’habitants. Cette création, teintée d’humour, d’insolite, de bons plans et de beaucoup de subjectivité, s’affiche sur les panneaux d’information le temps du festival Mur/Murs.
Avez-vous remarqué les affiches aux aplats bleu azur et orange fluo qui sont apparues sur les murs de la ville ? Parcourues de textes, de dessins et de pictogrammes, elles chuchotent des histoires à ceux qui les observent, les lisent, les étudient.

L’ouvrage « Fitzgerald » de William Bunge est téléchargeable au format numérique. Publié suite aux soulèvements de Détroit (1967), il combine géographie et cartographie pour traiter des questions de justice socio-spatiale dans les villes US
Project MUSE - Fitzgerald
▻https://muse.jhu.edu/book/11514
/book/11514/og_image.jpg
This on-the-ground study of one square mile in Detroit was written in collaboration with neighborhood residents, many of whom were involved with the famous Detroit Geographical Expedition and Institute. Fitzgerald, at its core, is dedicated to understanding global phenomena through the intensive study of a small, local place.
Beginning with an 1816 encounter between the Ojibwa population and the neighborhood’s first surveyor, William Bunge examines the racialized imposition of local landscapes over the course of European American settlement. Historical events are firmly situated in space—a task Bunge accomplishes through liberal use of maps and frequent references to recognizable twentieth-century landmarks.
More than a work of historical geography, Fitzgerald is a political intervention. By 1967 the neighborhood was mostly African American; Black Power was ascendant; and Detroit would experience a major riot. Immersed in the daily life of the area, Bunge encouraged residents to tell their stories and to think about local politics in spatial terms. His desire to undertake a different sort of geography led him to create a work that was nothing like a typical work of social science. The jumble of text, maps, and images makes it a particularly urgent book—a major theoretical contribution to urban geography that is also a startling evocation of street-level Detroit during a turbulent era."
William Bunge, the DGEI, & Radical Cartography | Counter Map Collection
▻http://countermapcollection.org/paratexts/commentaries/william-bunge-dgei-radical-cartography
“Radical cartography” is the preferred term of many activist map-makers working today, including Bill Rankin, Hackitectura, the Institute for Applied Autonomy, The Counter Cartographies Collective, Alexis Bhagat, Lize Mogel and others. In their incisive introduction to An Atlas of Radical Cartography, Bhagat and Mogel explain: “[w]e define radical cartography as the practice of mapmaking that subverts conventional notions in order to actively promote social change. The object of critique . . . is not cartography per se (as is generally meant by the overlapping term critical cartography), but rather social relations” (6). Craig Dalton and Liz Mason-Deese of the Counter Cartographies Collective argue similarly for “mapping as militant research.” “As autonomous, militant research,” they argue, “this mapping aims to foster cooperation among researchers and participants to practically intervene in real problems without attempting to marshal state or administrative power” (439).

A conversation about the #Detroit_Geographical_Expedition_and_Institute (1968-72), a radical project of community based collaborative scholarship-activism and liberatory education, with Gwendolyn Warren, the project’s co-director, and Professor Cindi Katz. Warren shaped many of the DGEI’s mapping projects and was a leader of its extraordinary educational component, which brought hundreds of young people from Detroit to Michigan State University, where they formed a sort of autonomous university—revolutionary in its implications and not surprisingly short-lived, but with powerful repercussions nonetheless. While the focus in the current political era is too often on ‘stakeholders,’ relies heavily on the ‘non-profit industrial complex,’ and depends on ‘big data’ for developing policies, the DGEI offers a compelling example of democratizing the intentions, practices, and uses of research.
The event will also feature an activist gallery of community collaborators.

This is not an atlas - Cartographie radicale
▻https://notanatlas.org/?mailpoet_router&endpoint=view_in_browser&action=view&data=WzIsMCw1ODYsI
This Is Not an Atlas was released just over a year ago. The global collection of counter-cartographies shows how maps are created and transformed as a part of political struggle, for critical research or in art and education.
You can still buy it here (in Europe or the US) as 350 page full colour, cloth binding, hardcover book (2. edition), and here (for free) as open access ebook version. At the same time, the project is leaving the book’s pages behind. So, we want to share with you what has happened since its release and give an outlook on future activities.
We are happy to see that the book has received lot of feedback (reviews) and that the first edition was sold out so fast. It is also becoming part of a network within the global counter-mapping community and was featured in a number of events in Europe and Latinamerica. Growing, too, is our homepage notanatlas.org, featuring slowly more and more new content. Most recently, it saw the release of our documentary and other videos. We hope you like it!
We’ll keep you posted with our blog, on facebook
and our (new) twitter and instagram accounts!

Anti-eviction map
The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project is a data-visualization, data analysis, and #storytelling collective documenting the dispossession and resistance upon gentrifying landscapes. Primarily working in the #San_Francisco_Bay Area, #Los_Angeles, and #New_York_City, we are all volunteers producing digital maps, oral history work, film, murals, and community events. Working with a number of community partners and in solidarity with numerous housing movements, we study and visualize new entanglements of global capital, real estate, technocapitalism, and political economy. Our narrative oral history and video work centers the displacement of people and complex social worlds, but also modes of resistance. Maintaining antiracist and feminist analyses as well as decolonial methodology, the project creates tools and disseminates data contributing to collective resistance and movement building.
Contre-cartographier le monde
▻https://www.fabula.org/actualites/contre-cartographier-le-monde_93088.php
Cette journée d’étude fait suite au colloque organisé par l’équipe EHIC en 2019 « Contre-cartographies dans les Amériques, XVIème-XXIème siècle » qui a révélé tout le potentiel de cette thématique. Nous souhaiterions élargir la discussion aux autres continents dans une perspective comparative et multidisciplinaire.
Les mécanismes de l’alliance entre cartes et domination et de sa subversion à travers la notion de contre-cartographie restent au cœur de notre réflexion. Il s’agit d’appliquer ce concept, issu de la géographie radicale (née des mouvements contre-culturels des années 1960 aux États-Unis), à d’autres disciplines et à l’entendre dans un sens élargi, diachronique, trans- et pluridisciplinaire pour intégrer la diversité des formes cartographiques (cognitives, sonores, corporelles, artistiques, numériques, etc.) et des politiques de la représentation qui ont pour enjeu la critique des formes hégémoniques de production de l’espace.

An Atlas of Radical Cartography
This Atlas is an atlas and not the atlas. Rather, it is one of many possible atlases, given the abundance of artists, architects, and others using maps and mapping in their work. While all maps have an inherent politics that often lies hidden beneath an “objective” surface, the contributions to An Atlas of Radical Cartography wear their politics on their sleeve. This publication includes ten pairs of politically engaged maps and texts from within the growing movement of cultural producers who have parallel or integrated activist practices.
The 10 MAPS:
1) Chetla Lock Gate, Marginal Land Settlement in Calcutta, 1984
2) Routes of Least Surveillance
3) Rendition Flights 2001-2006

Wednesday, August 28, 2019 – Decolonizing maps » Native America Calling
▻https://www.nativeamericacalling.com/wednesday-august-28-2019-decolonizing-maps
The boundaries of reservations, treaty land and traditional Native territory are all represented by two-dimensional lines on paper. Few, if any, of those lines were ever drawn by Native mapmakers. But Indigenous people have always charted their surroundings in textile designs, drawings, carvings and even in songs. And Indigenous cartographers are finding new ways to map their environment that include interactive digital displays and geospatial technologies. These maps tap into conversations of history, culture, relationships and colonization. We’ll hear from some Indigenous people about both the traditional and new ways of getting a sense of place.

#Ground_Truth. Destruction and Return in al-’Araqīb
Ground Truth is an ongoing project that aims to provide historical and juridical evidence on behalf of communities in the illegalised Palestinian Bedouin villages in the northern threshold of the Negev/Naqab desert, Israel. While forced physical displacement and illegalisation render these communities non-existent on maps and aerial imaging, state-led land works and afforestation transform and erase their land and material cultural remains. The project aims to document and collate disparate legal, historical, and material evidence for the continuity of the sedentary presence of the Bedouin population on this land, as well as traces of their repeated displacement and destruction by government forces.
At the heart of the project are a community-led photographic dossier and a 3DGiS platform that utilises contemporary and historical images to map the presence and remnants of the Bedouin’s inhabitation. This first iteration of the project centres on the case of the al-’Araqīb village, which has been demolished over 116 times over the past 60 years. A second phase of the project would wish to expand the work into more unrecognised villages where establishing proof of continuity of presence would be helpful.
Through a collaborative process of DIY aerial photography with Public Lab, Zochrot, and the local families of al-’Araqīb, a kind of ’civic satellite’ is formed. We use kites and balloons equipped with simple cameras to form a methodology through which aerial and ground views can be gathered across multiple expeditions. These are assembled through photogrammetry into stacked geo-referenced 3D point-cloud photo terrains. Photographs, taken by residents and activists, document not only expulsion and destruction but also their ongoing life and resistance. These photographs, along with other media, data, and testimony, attest to an inflicted violence by connecting the history of this local land struggle to larger-scale and longer-term environmental transformations and to the conflicts that such changes have provoked.

Le thème « Plant a Tree in Israel » est un des thèmes principaux de la propagande israélienne (greenwashing, faire fleurir le désert, avant il n’y avait rien, tout ça…). De temps en temps un acteur ou une actrice américaines s’affichent plantant un arbre en Israël (Naomi Watts et Liev Schreiber en 2009, Sharon Stone en 2006, Roseanne Barr en 2019, Greg Germann en 2011…).
Le Jewish National Fund est aussi évoqué dans le récent billet de B’Tselem référencé ici il y a quelques jours : Maintaining a Jewish majority : Jerusalem Municipality to demolish entire Palestinian neighborhood, leaving 550 people without a roof over their heads
►http://www.btselem.org/jerusalem/20190613_wadi_yasul
At the same time, the municipality and the JNF (Jewish National Fund) – the body in charge of managing the forest – gave their approval to settler organization El-Ad to move forward with plans for group campgrounds, including building the longest recreational zipline in Israel. Some of the facilities have already been built in the forest, without building permits. While the city did issue demolition orders against them, it has refrained from following through.
Merci @Nidal... as-tu par hasard des photos d’archives des actrices américaines qui plantent des arbres ?

Using Maps as a Weapon to Resist Extractive Industries on Indigenous Territories - Resilience
▻https://www.resilience.org/stories/2019-04-26/using-maps-as-a-weapon-to-resist-extractive-industries-on-indigenous-ter
For Indigenous peoples across the Americas, urgent threats imposed by the industrial extraction of natural resources has characterized the 21st century. The expansion of industry has threatened Indigenous territories, cultures and sovereignty. These industries include: timber and pulp extraction, mining, oil and gas and hydroelectric development. As well, the extraction of human beings from their lands has real implications for the survival of communities.
The debate of territory is essential in these resource conflicts. Maps — and those who make and shape them — are central to the discussion of land rights, especially when it comes to industrial resource extraction and Indigenous peoples.

Counter-mapping: cartography that lets the powerless speak | Science | The Guardian
►https://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2018/mar/06/counter-mapping-cartography-that-lets-the-powerless-speak
Sara is a 32-year-old mother of four from Honduras. After leaving her children in the care of relatives, she travelled across three state borders on her way to the US, where she hoped to find work and send money home to her family. She was kidnapped in Mexico and held captive for three months, and was finally released when her family paid a ransom of $190.
Her story is not uncommon. The UN estimates that there are 258 million migrants in the world. In Mexico alone, 1,600 migrants are thought to be kidnapped every month. What is unusual is that Sara’s story has been documented in a recent academic paper that includes a map of her journey that she herself drew. Her map appears alongside four others – also drawn by migrants. These maps include legends and scales not found on orthodox maps – unnamed river crossings, locations of kidnapping and places of refuge such as a “casa de emigrante” where officials cannot enter. Since 2011, such shelters have been identified by Mexican law as “spaces of exception”.

« La cartographie est morte, vive la #contre-cartographie ! »
C’est à partir de la célèbre formule de Magritte : « Ceci n’est pas une pipe », que le collectif Orangotango baptise son ouvrage : This Is Not an Atlas : A Global Collection of Counter-Cartographies, publié en 2018 ( Figure 1 ci-dessus : couverture de This Is Not an Atlas (source : ►https://notanatlas.org/book).
Tels des surréalistes, les activistes et géographes d’Orangotango « tirent sur une foule de cartographes » – pour paraphraser André Breton – au moyen d’une série de productions et textes volontairement critiques. Critiques, les auteurs de cet anti-atlas le sont par leur projet politique et leur posture théorique.
En effet, la contre-cartographie désigne un ensemble d’initiatives destiné à déconstruire les conventions cartographiques et les systèmes sociotechniques qui les produisent (Wood et al., 2020). Sur les ruines de l’ancienne cartographie, « morte » selon Wood (2003), les contre-cartographes fondent une approche résolument alternative. À l’inverse des cartes qui s’attachent à une description fidèle et pseudo-objective du monde – caractéristiques des atlas « traditionnels » –, les productions exposées dans This Is Not an Atlas ne prétendent pas à la neutralité. L’occasion de rappeler le rapport de la carte à son producteur, donc d’en célébrer la créativité. Une subjectivité que l’on retrouve dans l’usage des données, et leur mode de constitution.
La pratique des contre-cartographes ne s’arrête pas là. Dans le sillage d’auteurs post-modernes et marxistes, dont Brian Harley, ils se mettent au service de la justice sociale, donc basculent du côté de la praxis. Si « longtemps, les cartes ont été réservées aux puissants » (Bord, 2003), et ont servi leurs intérêts propres (Branch, 2011 ; Desbois, 2015), pour nos auteurs, il s’agit de dégager la production cartographique du cadre institutionnel, académique et étatique dans lequel elle est produite. De la sorte, nul renouvellement de la fonction de la carte : celle-ci reste un discours sur le réel et donc un instrument de transformation du monde, mais cet usage est ici pleinement assumé et mis au service de l’émancipation des femmes et des hommes.
Ni une somme de savoirs géographiques, ni un outil d’institutionnalisation d’un État (Morel, 1993), cet ouvrage n’est, à proprement parler, pas un atlas. Il s’agit bien plutôt d’une « collection » : des dizaines de cartes, et tout autant de luttes politiques et de mondes possibles.
En dépit d’une structuration en chapitres, les éditeurs réfutent toute cohérence linéaire à l’atlas, ce qui en facilite l’exploration. Nous, lecteurs, naviguons alors entre cartes autochtones, l’œuvre de Fahlström, cartes mentales et images satellites, réunies selon qu’elles servent une action politique (chapitre 1), qu’elles aident à coordonner un collectif (chapitre 2), ou encore qu’elles participent au dévoilement du réel, à l’instar des travaux de Philippe Rekacewicz sur les aéroports (chapitre 6). En se basant sur sa propre expérience, le cartographe du Monde diplomatique a illustré comment les autorités de l’aéroport, de collusion avec les compagnies commerciales, structurent l’espace du bâtiment pour organiser la mobilité des voyageurs. D’entrée, les voyageurs sont désorientés (signalétique, magasins identiques), avant d’être poussés à la consommation dans des lieux dédiés. À Oslo, à mesure que l’espace des magasins (en rouge) progresse, l’espace public (en bleu) diminue (figures 2, 3 et 4). À Copenhague, le retrait de places assises de cet espace le prive de tout aspect fonctionnel et attractif. Rekacewicz parle d’une forme subtile, quasi « invisible », de totalitarisme.

À la composante « pratique » du projet d’Orangotango est accoudée une entreprise théorique critique. En sciences humaines, les travaux qui se revendiquent d’une démarche semblable foisonnent, tant et si bien qu’on ne sait comment distinguer ce qui est critique de ce qui ne l’est pas (Blomley, 2006). En un mot, la critique en cartographie revient à une déconstruction des discours latents à la carte et à sa production. Rationnelle et scientifique, elle est aussi rejet des postulats positivistes et déterministes. Ainsi la critique a de quoi nous prémunir contre une pratique trop innocente de la géographie. Dans le dernier chapitre de l’atlas, elle passe au crible les bases de données spatiales – de quoi intéresser le géomaticien. En premier lieu, Mark Graham insiste sur les inégalités d’accès au digital dans le monde (figure 5).
L’Amérique du Nord, l’Europe de l’Ouest et le Japon – la « Triade » dans la vulgate économique – présentent, avec l’Australie, la Corée du Sud ou encore le Qatar, les taux les plus forts de citoyens en ligne (> 80 %), loin devant l’Inde, l’Amérique centrale ou l’Afrique australe (< 20 %). L’absence d’une partie de l’humanité sur le web a pour corrélat l’incomplétude de bases de données collaboratives (OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia) (figure 6), qu’elles se veulent exhaustives (Geonames), ou non. On notera, d’ailleurs, le souci chez Graham de faire varier les projections (projection de Fuller, polyhédrale, pour la figure 6).En définitive, qu’est-ce que la contre-cartographie ? C’est employer la cartographie comme une arme politique, un vecteur pédagogique, ou encore un moyen d’introspection. C’est innover par la forme (sémiologie, matériaux, dimensions, projection, etc.), cartographier « pour une cause », seul ou à plusieurs, encourager une ontologie de la diversité, se montrer sceptique, multiplier les explorations. Enfin, c’est aider à la diffusion des cartes, notamment par voie numérique. Rien d’étonnant, donc, à ce que This Is Not an Atlas soit en accès libre sur internet : ►https://notanatlas.org/book.

Une carte des massacres d’#aborigènes de l’ère coloniale australienne - Pacha cartographie
▻https://www.pacha-cartographe.fr/massacres-aborigenes
Deux projets cartographiques révèlent la réalité sanglante de l’histoire coloniale australienne.
Pendant des décennies, les historiens, les politiciens et à peu près tout le monde ayant des opinions bien arrêtées sur la nationalité australienne se disputaient avec acharnement pour déterminer si les massacres des populations aborigènes avaient joué un rôle important dans la genèse de l’Australie moderne.
A ma gauche les tenant du oui pour qui la conquête européenne de l’Australie a été caractérisée par une violence systémique, de fréquentes effusions de sang et même un génocide. A ma droite les partisans d’une absence d’intention malveillante : supériorité technologique (des colons) et susceptibilité aux maladies (des indigènes) suffisant à expliquer la rapidité et l’ensemble du processus de colonisation…
En tout état de cause, l’histoire officielle ne laisse que peu de place à la possible acceptation d’un passé sanglant puisqu’il n’existe actuellement qu’une poignée de toponymes faisant référence à cette période sombre. De même, une vingtaine de monuments seulement commémore des massacres d’autochtones dans toute l’Australie. Souvent, les emplacements ne sont marqués que par une plaque ou un simple rocher.
the names of places
the names of places is based on research into massacre sites across Australia. A significant aspect of this ongoing project is an invitation to the public to contribute any knowledge of the massacres of Indigenous Australians to the website’s database where it will be considered for future display on the web map.

Encore un truc supr bien mis trop loin pour moi...
Contre-cartographies dans les Amériques, XVIème-XXIème siècles FLSH Université de Limoges, Laboratoire EHIC,
jeudi 7- vendredi 8 février 2019
L’émergence et la consolidation progressive de l’hégémonie de la cartographie en tant qu’outil de représentation de l’espace sont intimement liées au processus de colonisation européen du Nouveau Monde. La rapide expansion du « monde connu » à partir du XVIe siècle a engendré un profond renouvellement de la conception de l’espace et va en effet contribuer au rapide développement d’une science cartographique visant à traduire le monde sous la forme d’une image mobile et mobilisable (Mignolo). La carte se veut dès lors un outil stratégique, un instrument de savoir-pouvoir géopolitique fondamental : pour les Européens qui se lancent à la conquête du continent américain, cartographier ne signifie non pas seulement connaître et rendre intelligible mais aussi domestiquer, soumettre, occulter, contrôler et même contredire l’ordre de la nature. Outils de guerre, outils d’exercice de la souveraineté et d’emprise symbolique et matérielle sur l’espace national, les cartes deviennent des supports essentiels de la puissance gouvernementale des Etats modernes : elles rendent possible l’administration verticale des populations, des territoires et des ressources. Dans les Amériques, la carte, en objectivant le mythe de la terra nullius, a ainsi permis de naturaliser les opérations de dépossession, d’extraction et d’élimination qui ont accompagné l’avancée de la frontière interne et l’intégration progressive des peuples et des espaces à l’ordre de l’État-nation et à la logique du développement. (…)
Quels enjeux se trouvent derrière les dynamiques contre-cartographiques dans le contexte des Amériques ? Dans quel contexte les logiques contre-cartographiques peuvent-elles se mettre en place ? Comment se créent-elles et de quelles impulsions émanent-elles ? Quels savoirs sont mobilisés dans les processus d’élaboration contre-cartographique ? Dans quelle mesure parviennent-elles à déjouer les représentations hégémoniques de l’espace ? Ce colloque international se propose d’interroger les mécanismes de l’alliance entre cartes et domination et de sa subversion à travers la notion de contre-cartographie. Ce concept, issu de la géographie radicale (née des mouvements contre-culturels des années 1960 aux Etats-Unis), sera appliqué à d’autres disciplines et entendu dans un sens élargi, diachronique, trans- et pluridisciplinaire pour intégrer la diversité des formes cartographiques (cognitives, sonores, corporelles, artistiques, numériques, etc.) et des politiques de la représentation qui ont pour enjeu la critique des formes hégémoniques de production de l’espace. Les propositions pourront s’intégrer dans les axes suivants (liste non exhaustive) :
Cartographie critique et radicale (militante, décoloniale, féministe, écologiste…)
Logiques contre-étatiques et anti-impérialistes : cartographies alternatives
Questionnements géopolitiques sur les sphères d’influence (mouvances, flux migratoires, frontières etc.)
Remise en question et redéfinition des géographies culturelles et/ou linguistiques
Cartographies des mondes souterrains (mafias, contrebandiers, hackers…)
Détournement et déconstruction des cartes dans les arts et les lettres
Contre-cartographies numériques
Les propositions devront être limitées à 500 mots et être accompagnées d’une courte biographie de leur auteur (200 mots) à envoyer avant le 15 octobre 2018 à lucie.genay@unilim.fr et diane.bracco@unilim.fr
Langues du colloque : français, anglais, espagnol. Le colloque donnera lieu à la publication d’un ouvrage en français aux Presses Universitaires de Limoges. La traduction des articles en anglais ou en espagnol devra être prise en charge par l’auteur.e.

Counter Mapping
Jim Enote, a traditional Zuni farmer and director of the A:shiwi A:wan Museum and Heritage Center, is working with Zuni artists to create maps that bring an indigenous voice and perspective back to the land, countering Western notions of place and geography and challenging the arbitrary borders imposed on the Zuni world.
Jim Note :
“Maps have done a lot to confuse things for people. And I think more lands have been lost to native people probably through mapping than through physical conflits.”
"I wanted to do some maps that were both elegant, evocative and profoundly important to the Zuni people.
“I had no idea at the beginning that so much story would come out of this map making process. First I thought we would create some new kinds of maps that counter and challenge the notion of what maps are.”
"North does not have to be on the top. Scale is unnecessary. Was more important is the history described in these vignettes of experience. And now these are here
“These maps become a thing that help families or groups to start speaking about places. Start learning from each others and talking about places in a way that is is uniquely Zuni”
“There are maps in songs and in prayers. There are maps that are edged in stones and woven into textile and painted in ceramics.”
“The names around here are in English and Spanish. So, they completely leave off the meaning of the place. It is replacing our language and eclypsing our language and knowledge with something different, something that starts really from here. This whole constellation of what makes up a map, to me it has always been far beyond a piece of paper.”
“If my grandfa and grandma would would see the Zuni maps, I think they would have recognize quickly... ’Oh, yeah, this is what is in that song! This is what’s in those prayers! And I think as their descendents, they would have been proud”

Disturbing new map of shows the locations of hundreds of Aboriginal massacres
Australian History: Map reveals Australia’s shameful secret

AUSTRALIAN history is being turned on its head by a groundbreaking project which is documenting hundreds of horrific massacres that make up our bloody past.
Today, a disturbing new map has revealed the terrifying scale and brutality of the 250 mass killings which took place in every Australian state apart from Western Australia and claimed the lives of some 6200 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The violent clashes also resulted in the deaths of just under 100 colonists, but indigenous people were murdered far more frequently with an average of 25 killed in every massacre.

Map-archive of Europe’s migrant spaces
The project of an interactive map-archive of ‘migrant spaces’ of transit, border enforcement and refuge across Europe stems from a workshop organised in London in November 2016 by researchers working on migration and based in different European countries.
The goal of this collective project, is to bring to the fore the existence and the stories of ephemeral spaces of containment, transit, and struggle, that are the outcome of border enforcement politics and of their spatial effects, as well as of their impact on migrant lives.
What we want to represent
We do not represent on the map official detention centres or reception camps, but rather unofficial (but visible) spaces that have been produced as an effect of migration and border policies as well as of migrants’ practices of movement. Some well-known examples are the Jungle of Calais, or the Hellenic’s airport in Athens, which represent the output of the relation between the border enforcement policies with the autonomous movements of migrant subjects across Europe. Moreover, spaces of transit like the rail station of Milan will be represented, which have then become places of containment – such as Ventimiglia, Como, and the Brenner after the suspension of Schengen in such border areas. Several structures have been build in such transit knots, being characterized by their humanitarian element that intertwine the dimension of control with that of help and care. Finally, some of these places are zones inside European cities that have played the twofold role of spaces-refuge and area
controlled by the police, and then have been evicted as dwelling places where migrants found a temporary place to stay – like Lycée Jean-Quarré in Paris, La Chapelle. Others are self-managed places, like Refugee City Plaza Hotel, or square and public spaces that had been sites of migrant struggles for some time – as Orianenplatz in Berlin.
The three dimensions
The complexity of the processes that get intertwined in these places can be represented through three dimensions that we aimed to represent, although they cannot be exhaustively of the complexity of this phenomenon.
Border enforcement/ border control: by border control we understand all the operations, measures and actions put into place by the police for enhancing national borders and obstructing migrants’ movements and presence.
Humanitarian enforcement: by humanitarian enforcement we understand all the operation/action and structures deployed by those humanitarian actors involved in managing migrants. Being ‘humanitarianism’ a blurry and contested category, we understand it as a continuum with the two endpoints of humanitarian control and humanitarian support. The first endpoint refers to all these actions, operations and structures that aim to control migrants and contain their mobilities. The second endpoint refers to all these actions, operation and structures that aim to support migrants and their movements avoiding deploying control measures.
Migrant struggles: by ‘struggles’ we understand both self-organized struggles with a declared political claim, and everyday struggles such as the transits mobilities and the ‘everyday resistance’ (Scott, 1985) practices collectively enacted by migrants, that can be visible or remaining under the threshold of visibility.
Temporality and spatiality
A crucial feature of this map is the focus on temporality rather than spatiality. Indeed, this map cis an archive of those fleeting and ephemeral spaces that do no longer exist and that have changed their function over time, as frontiers or as spaces of refuge and struggle. The focus on temporality allows us to go beyond the mainstream representations of migrants routes offered by those official actors managing migration such as Fontex, European Union, IOM and the UNHCR.
We do not want to represent those informal places that are still existing in order to avoid shedding more light on them that could bring some problem to the people dwelling and transiting through those places. The idea of archive is related to that ethical/political topic: we do not want to trace the still existing place where people are struggling, but rather we aim to keep a record and a memory of such ephemeral spaces that do not exist any-more but nevertheless have contributed to the production of a Europe not represented in the mainstream debate. Therefore, we represent only those places still existing where the border and humanitarian enforcement come to the fore, in order to keep an ongoing monitoring gaze.
The aim
The aims of this map-archive are: a) to keep memory of these spaces that have been visible and have been the effect of border enforcement policies but that then had been evicted, or ‘disappeared’ ; b) to produce a new map of Europe, that is a map formed by these spaces of transit, containment, and refuge, as result of politics of border enforcement and of migration movements; c) to shed light on the temporality of migration as a crucial dimension through which understand and interpret the complexity of social processes related to migration towards and within Europe and the consequent border enforcement.
To be continued
Since Europe externalizes its borders beyond its geopolitical frontiers, we would like to add also spaces of transit and containment that are located in the so called ‘third countries’ – for instance, in Tunisia, Turkey and Morocco – as the map wants also to represent a different image of the borders of Europe, looking also at sites that are the effects of EU borders externalisation politics.

Migration: new map of Europe reveals real frontiers for refugees
Since the EU declared a “refugee crisis” in 2015 that was followed by an unprecedented number of deaths in the Mediterranean, maps explaining the routes of migrants to and within Europe have been used widely in newspapers and social media.
Some of these maps came out of refugee projects, while others are produced by global organisations, NGOs and agencies such as Frontex, the European Border and Coastguard Agency, and the International Organisation for Migration’s project, Missing Migrants. The Balkan route, for example, shows the trail along which hundred of thousands of Syrian refugees trekked after their towns and cities were reduced to rubble in the civil war.
However, migration maps tend to produce an image of Europe being “invaded” and overwhelmed by desperate women, men and children in search of asylum. At the same time, migrants’ journeys are represented as fundamentally linear, going from a point A to a point B. But what about the places where migrants have remained stranded for a long time, due to the closure of national borders and the suspension of the Schengen Agreement, which establishes people’s free internal movement in Europe? What memories and impressions remain in the memory of the European citizens of migrants’ passage and presence in their cities? And how is this most recent history of migration in Europe being recorded?
Time and memory
Our collective project, a map archive of Europe’s migrant spaces, engages with with these questions by representing border zones in Europe – places that have functioned as frontiers for fleeing migrants. Some of these border zones, such as Calais, have a long history, while other places have become effective borders for migrants in transit more recently, such as Como in Italy and Menton in France. The result of a collaborative work by researchers in the UK, Greece, Germany, Italy and the US, the project records memories of places in Europe where migrants remained in limbo for a long time, were confronted with violence, or found humanitarian aid, as well as marking sites of organised migrant protest.
All the cities and places represented in this map archive have over time become frontiers and hostile environments for migrants in transit. Take for instance the Italian city of Ventimiglia on the French-Italian border. This became a frontier for migrants heading to France in 2011, when the French government suspended Schengen to deter the passage of migrants who had landed in Lampedusa in Italy in the aftermath of the Tunisian revolution in 2011.
Four years later in 2015, after border controls were loosened, Ventimiglia again became a difficult border to cross, when France suspended Schengen for the second time. But far from being just a place where migrants were stranded and forced to go back, our map archive shows that Ventimiglia also became an important place of collective migrant protest.
Images of migrants on the cliffs holding banners saying “We are not going back” circulated widely in 2015 and became a powerful slogan for other migrant groups across Europe. The most innovative aspect of our map-archive consists in bringing the context of time, showing the transformations of spaces over time into a map about migration that explains the history of border zones over the last decade and how they proliferated across Europe. Every place represented – Paris, Calais, Rome, Lesbos, Kos, and Athens, for example – has been transformed over the years by migrants’ presence.
Which Europe?
This archive project visualises these European sites in a way that differs from the conventional geopolitical map: instead of highlighting national frontiers and cities, it foregrounds places that have been actual borders for migrants in transit and which became sites of protest and struggle. In this way the map archive produces another image of Europe, as a space that has been shaped by the presence migrants – the border violence, confinement and their struggle to advance.
The geopolitical map of Europe is transformed into Europe’s migrant spaces – that is, Europe as it is experienced by migrants and shaped by their presence. So another picture of Europe emerges: a space where migrants’ struggle to stay has contributed to the political history of the continent. In this Europe migrants are subjected to legal restrictions and human rights violations, but at the same time they open up spaces for living, creating community and as a backdrop for their collective struggles.
It is also where they find solidarity with European citizens who have sympathy with their plight. These border zones highlighted by our map have been characterised by alliances between citizens and migrants in transit, where voluntary groups have set up to provide food, shelter and services such as medical and legal support.
So how does this map engage with debate on the “migrant crisis” and the “refugee crisis” in Europe? By imposing a time structure and retracing the history of these ephemeral border zone spaces of struggle, it upends the image of migrants’ presence as something exceptional, as a crisis. The map gives an account of how European cities and border zones have been transformed over time by migrants’ presence.
By providing the history of border zones and recording memories of citizens’ solidarity with migrants in these places, this map dissipates the hardline view of migrants as invaders, intruders and parasites – in other words, as a threat. This way, migrants appear as part of Europe’s unfolding history. Their struggle to stay is now becoming part of Europe’s history.
But the increasing criminalisation of migrant solidarity in Europe is telling of how such collaboration disturbs state policies on containing migrants. This map-archive helps to erode the image of migrants as faceless masses and unruly mobs, bringing to the fore the spaces they create to live and commune in, embraced by ordinary European citizens who defy the politics of control and the violent borders enacted by their states.
