1 Joy Enomoto LIS 601: Bibliographic Research Plan Introduction Critical Cartography is a dynamic, cross disciplinary field of study that challenges traditional cartographers by pushing against the supposition that maps are objective representations of real space and instead calls “into question the presumptions of professional cartography, “professional cartography” referring at once to official map- making, the dominant map houses, and academic cartography” (Krygier and Wood 3).
Drawing from postmodernist philosophers, such as Foucault, during the late 1980s and early 1990s, advocates of critical cartography set out to reveal “the ‘hidden agendas of cartography’ as tools of socio-spatial power” (Einat 1). Critical cartography puts forward new mapping practices, known as counter-mapping. Counter-mapping refers to any map- making processes that challenge the formal maps of the state. This includes Indigenous cartography or ethnocartography, art mapping and cognitive mapping.
Indigenous cartography, sometimes referred to as ethnocartography refers to non-western mapping practices created from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and running challenging colonial assertions over land claims.
Art mapping is “nothing less than the remaking of the world” (Krygier and Wood 10). The remapping of the social, cultural or linguistic space challenges the entire notion of the professional map and asserts a new form of what is real. Visual artists often create new maps from traditional maps or do away with their boundaries all together.
Cognitive Mapping or mental mapping “refers to the ways in which people comprehend, learn, remember, record and articulate their experiences in the physical environment” (Einat 1).
Critical cartography moves the map beyond the realm of an object and into a space for complex critical thinking in regards to understanding our world. As such, the develop- ment of critical maps are often used as tools for activists and those committed to social justice pursuing a new narrative counter to colonial descriptions of space, time and memory.
Audience This research plan was designed to serve researchers in the field of cartography, human geography, Indigenous studies, visual art and art history, border studies, political science, American studies and other related social sciences. This plan may also serve librarians working with map collections and georeferencing tools. The core of the sources would best serve faculty and students of the University of Hawaii at Mānoa (UHM), but it is broad enough in scope for this interested in pursuing this field outside of the university.
2 Joy Enomoto LIS 601: Bibliographic Research Plan Reference Sources For background information on the field of Critical Cartography and its related fields, there were several reference sources that I consulted through Hamilton Library:
Harley, J. B., and Woodward, David. The History of Cartography. Chicago: U of Chicago, 1987. Print. (Call Number: GA201 .H53 1987 ).
This two volume set, whose initial volume was published in 1987 was followed by three books compiling the second volume that were released in piece meal over the next 11 years. This collection sets out to define a new set of relationships between maps and the physical world and repositioning at the heart of cultural life and society.
Kitchin, Rob, and Freundschuh, Scott. Cognitive Mapping : Past, Present, and Future. London ; New York: Routledge, 2000. Print. (Call Number: BF314 .K58 2000).
This book provides a good overview of the origin of the subject area of cognitive mapping, contemporary discussions and the directions this type of spatial interrogation is headed.

This text discusses the use of oral histories, dreams and story telling as a method of way- finding through an Indigenous world view.
Pitzl, Gerald R. Encyclopedia of Human Geography. Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Pub., 2004. Print. (Call Number: GF4 .P58 2004 Library Use Only)
This encyclopedia discusses all the ways in which humans interact and provides overviews for critical cartography, indigenous mapping and cognitive mapping.
Citation Style & Coding Key All citations in this bibliographic research plan follow the guidelines of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th edition). The coding key for this project primarily utilized key word search terms (KW) in lower case and in quotes, keywords with Boolean operators (AND OR NOT) will be in mixed case with the Boolean operators in caps. Controlled vocabulary (CV) search terms in all caps.
3 Joy Enomoto LIS 601: Bibliographic Research Plan Search Strategy I applied the coding key as previously stated and used the Library of Congress Classification Outline to determine subject headings, their subclasses and call numbers. Since this research plan caters primarily to the UHM and academic libraries, I did not use Dewey Decimal classifications in my search. I also did not include subject headings that included literary mapping which would have made the scope too broad and taken away from the focus of spatial criticism and applied mapping practice.
Subject Headings
Library of Congress (LC) To locate Library of Congress subject headings and call numbers I rely on the Library of Congress Classification Outline. I began with the subject of Geography and narrowed the terms from this point.
Subject headings: GEOGRAPHY MAPS MATHEMATICAL GEOGRAPHY COUNTER MAPPING CARTOGRAPHY INDIGENOUS MAPPING CARTOGRAPHY - HISTORY COGNITIVE MAPS (PSYCHOLOGY) ETHNOCARTOGRAPHY MENTAL MAPPING POLITICAL GEOGRAPHY ART MAPS
LC Call Numbers These call numbers provide the ranges for searches in Critical Cartography and it sub- headings. GA MATHEMATICAL GEOGRAPHY.

Search Terms
Instructions The coding key to delineate between the difference between terms are keyword searches in lower case, Boolean expressions have a mixed case combining keywords in lower case and Boolean term in all caps (AND OR NOT). Natural language strings are lower case and in quotes to set them apart. ? are used for truncation purposes to allow for variations.
Keywords The following are keywords related to critical cartography or counter mapping. These terms are helpful for database searches. Some terms have ? marks for truncation to allow for variants in the term. cartograph? (cartography, cartographer, cartographic) critical Indigen? (indigenous, indigeneity) map cognit? (cognition, cognitive) map critical cartography counter mapping mental mapping ethnocartography art mapping indigenous cartography
Boolean Expressions cartography AND art critical cartography NOT literary critical cartography OR counter mapping cartography AND (criticism OR counter) Indigenous AND map map? NOT literary AND indigenous art AND cartography AND power
Natural Language Strings “indigenous counter mapping” “mapping empire” “map as art” “indigenous critical cartography” “deconstructing the map” “what is critical cartography”
5 Joy Enomoto LIS 601: Bibliographic Research Plan Search Process
OPACS (Online Public Access Catalogs)
UH Voyager I conducted the majority of my searches through Voyager since this bibliographic plan caters to UH Mānoa students. The site yielded a great number of titles on indigenous cartography and counter mapping. However, I realized that because critical cartography is not an LC subject heading, the only way for most searches to be effective, keywords and not subject searches were needed.
WorldCat WorldCat was not as productive for this topic as I hoped it would be, because it usually held more title options than Voyager and could be used to request titles through UH Mānoa’s Interlibrary Loans program. WorldCat tends to be my go-to OPAC when I am unable to locate titles in UH Voyager, however, I found that it had the same problems as Voyager in terms of search terms and required some creative alternatives to get at the good stuff.
Databases and Indexes These databases and indexes have extensive resources pertaining to all aspects of geography and cartography.
Academic Search Complete (EBSCOhost) This database provided poor results for the keyword search “critical cartography” but the keyword phrase “counter mapping” yielded at least 35 appropriate articles and 9 results for the Boolean expression “indigenous mapping” AND “counter mapping”. The keyword phrase “indigenous mapping” alone provided 84 results. Trying to find these terms under (CV) subject headings provided no results. The majority of the articles have been published within the last 8 years, many within the last two years. So this database is a wonderful resource for contemporary articles.
Dissertations & Theses (ProQuest) This database proved productive for this subject area. However, su(indigenous) AND su(cartography) produced interesting results that proved useful. 2 dissertations examined the role of Hawaiian knowledge and ways of finding. The Boolean expression (cognitive mapping) AND indigenous produced 20 interesting dissertations. Surprisingly there were several papers to art and cartography.
GeoBase via Engineeering Village 2 (Elsevier) This database in a compendex or bibliographic engineering database that provides geographic resources combined with GeoRef via Engineering Village 2. The database can be limited to search only within GeoBase. The Engineering Village database uses the CV (WN) for within and (KY) for subject/title/abstract. This proved to be very fruitful for ((counter mapping) WN KY) which provided over a thousand results, so several limiters had to be applied in regards to region and type of mapping to bring the number down to
6 Joy Enomoto LIS 601: Bibliographic Research Plan 375 results. ((indigenous cartography) WN KY) had 94 results. The Boolean expression (((art) WN KY) AND ((critical mapping) WN KY)) with the additional limiters ({mapping} OR {semantics} OR {art} OR {maps} OR {visualization}) WN CV) yield 125 articles.
GeoRef via Engineering Village 2 (Elsevier) This database produces the same results as GeoBase unless limited to within GeoRef and compendex, excluding GeoBase. This limits the results to only 25 results or less per query and may also give different results. The main focus of this database is geology in North America from 1785 until present with references to the U.S. geological survey, so as a stand-alone database, it is not ideal for this subject.
JSTOR This database only allows for full text, abstract, caption, title or author search. Yet this site produced the most full-text material for the search term critical cartography, but was the least productive for the term indigenous cartography, only offering book reviews. This site also had surprisingly less constructive items related to art maps than I would have expected. For example, the search ((critical cartography) AND (art mapping)) produced over 395,000 results so it would take far too long to sift through all of these.
OneSearch Manoa By far the most productive resource for this subject, since it is linked to the Voyager catalog and gives the most efficient articles and specific entries. For UH Mānoa students this is definitely the best place to find resources. For example, as soon as you type in the keyword critical cartography, the first result is the reference entry “Critical Cartography” from the Encyclopedia of Human Geography. Since OneSearch is an OCLC (online computer library center) is links multiple databases and therefore can produce some of the most accurate results. OneSearch also makes it easy to exclude topics such as literature mapping, which is difficult to do on other databases even with the help of Boolean operators and other limiters.
Science Direct This database pulls from science journals and books. Although, this database has a limited number of publication titles it yielded a few good quality sources.
Web of ScienceIn the areas of Geography, Area Studies many articles come up in relationship to critical cartography (214) and indigenous cartography (98) and 31 articles come up for the topic (TS) search: mental mapping. You have to check each article for its full text availability, but it is a good resource. It is not a good resource for art mapping. No results came up for this area.
7 Joy Enomoto LIS 601: Bibliographic Research Plan Web Resources Google Books Google Books is a comprehensive index of full text titles books. A good ready reference source, if you are in a hurry. It actually proved to be a great resource for books on critical cartography. More comprehensive than the OPACS and the databases combined. But also, reflected much of what could be found in WorldCat.
Google Scholar While it’s not without its problems, this is still a good quick search site for full text searches. Critical cartography pulls up 84,000 results, I would say about 200 are relevant. Indigenous cartography brings up 26,000 results and mental mapping AND indigenous pulls up 92,000 results. Quite frankly, I would only check the first two pages of results or add date limiters to use these sources. This is a terrible site for art and critical cartography, primarily because it is a new field in terms of scholarly study as opposed to practice.
8 Joy Enomoto LIS 601: Bibliographic Research Plan Conclusion Critical Cartography is considered a broad and multidisciplinary field of study. It is also a relatively new field in the world of cartography, so the CV search terms are not as productive as I would like them to be. As referred to in the Getty publication “Introduction to Controlled Vocabularies,” “The most important functions of a controlled vocabulary are to gather together variant terms and synonyms for concepts and to link concepts in a logical order or sort them into categories” (Harpring 2.1). It has been my experience that anything that challenges established bodies of study or relate to social justice somehow require more creative searches. That was definitely true in this situation. The concept of art mapping, which as a practice is not new, but it is only now being examined in the social science and geography disciplines. Therefore, there are is no easy way to explore this area. Cognitive or mental mapping which comes under psychology and ethnology can provide results that are far too broad and require multiple limiters.
Sites like Google Scholar, do not help matters by providing results in the thousands. I can’t help but think of the articles written by Dr. Jasco, mocking the ways in which Google Scholar provides results, “GS lumps together the number of master records (created for actual publications) and the number of citation records (distinguished by the prefix: [citation]) when reporting the total hits for an author name search” (Jasco 26). Google Scholar was a bit of a metadata nightmare. However, even though Google Books also produced far too many results, it proved to be a much more pleasant experience. Perhaps Google is more concerned with its commercial sales than its scholarly articles. Although 51,000 results for books on critical cartography is ridiculous, but the first 3 pages were great. It was clear that date limiters were mandatory.
Natural language strings were not the most effective route for this subject. I relied heavily on OPACs and databases where subject headings, keywords and Boolean expressions are dominant. However, I so badly wanted to change the LC subject headings to produce more efficient results, which called to mind the Rolla article on “User Tags versus Subject Headings,” primarily because keyword searches produced better results than subject searches. LCSH are often a bit too controlled and do not apply to how topics are actually used. Even though “User tags by themselves cannot provide the best subject access to the materials in library collections, but they can help point libraries in the right direction” (Rolla 182). For example, there really is no proper term to capture art mapping as it relates to critical cartography. It would be nice to be able to collectively coin a term and add it to the record without having to deal with the drawn out processes of the Library of Congress.
What I loved about this topic is that it is ideal discipline to apply radical reference (citation needed). If librarians become involved in critical cartography, then librarians can “go to the roots of our communities who thirst for info access in order to affect a growth for the entire community” (Feliciter 12). Critical cartography was used by librarians during the Occupy Wall Street movement and with more librarians becoming trained in Global Information System technology and georeferencing, critical cartography can only enhance the skills of reference librarians.

Harley’s influential essay written in 1989, is considered a foundation work for researchers wanting to understand the origins of critical cartography. Harley was one of the first to push the map into the realm of the social. This essay is found in print in the journal Cartographica in Hamilton Library.
Pickles, John. A History of Spaces : Cartographic Reason, Mapping, and the Geo-coded World. London; New York: Routledge, 2004. Print. (Call Number GA105.3.P52 2004).
This text begins with the discussion of the act of drawing a line and moves into how that line is used on maps to become markers of power. Pickles ties maps to capitalism, natural sciences and planetary consciousness. An incredibly interesting read.
Indigenous Cartography
Oliveira, Katrina-Ann R. Kapāʻanaokalāokeola Nākoa. Ancestral Places: Understanding Kanaka Geographies. First Peoples (2010). 2014. Print. (Call Number DU624.65 .K38 2014)
This text explores the deep connections that Kānaka Maoli have to place. Through story and dance, Nākoa demonstrates the ways in which Hawaiians utilize cartographic performance as form of way-finding and construction of identity.
Bryan, Joe, and Wood, Denis. Weaponizing Maps : Indigenous Peoples and Counterinsurgency in the Americas. 2015. Web. 6 May 2016.
Weaponizing Maps discusses the importance of the role of mapping for Indigenous people to secure land rights. The authors also go on to examine Indigenous territories as spaces defining a collective way of life throughout the Americas. Available for UH Mānoa students and faculty online.
13 Joy Enomoto LIS 601: Bibliographic Research Plan Jolly, Margaret. Imagining Oceania: Indigenous and Foreign Representations of a Sea of Islands, 2007. Web.
This paper examines two 18th century maps and ponders the power of cartography in how far they differ from indigenous genealogies and places. Jolly also examines the enduring partitioning of the Pacific into Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia. Then she goes on to consider an alternative vision of Oceania. This title is available on-line for UH Mānoa faculty and students. hawaii-futures.com
This site created by Harvard student Sean Connelly, is critical map considering the restoration of the eco-systems of Hawaii’s ahupuaʻa system. These interactive maps incorporate economics, geo-spatial design and cognitive mapping to imagine a restorative future for the islands. This site was recently mentioned at the 2016 Hawaiian Librarianship Symposium in reference to its relationship to the emerging field of digital humanities.
Art Mapping

A wonderful resource for contemporary discussions and creations of critical maps.
14 Joy Enomoto LIS 601: Bibliographic Research Plan decolonialatlas.wordpress.com
Created in 2014, the Decolonial Atlas project is a site that brings together maps that “challenges our relationships with the land, people and state…there is no such thing as truth in cartography” (“about” decolonial atlas). By far my favorite open access visual resource, combining scholarship and art in exciting ways.
Cognitive Mapping
Norment, Christopher., and Ebrary, Inc. In the Memory of the Map a Cartographic Memoir. Iowa City: U of Iowa, 2012. Sightline Books. Web.
Norment explores the complex relationship among maps, memory and experience by interweaving a personal narrative around several maps with stories about maps by poets and scholars. The reader is taken on a psychological cartographic journey that explores the mystery, short comings and power of maps as an active agent in their lives. This title is available on line.
Johnson, Jay T., and Larsen, Soren C. A Deeper Sense of Place : Stories and Journeys of Indigenous-academic Collaboration. 2013. First Peoples (2010). Print. (Call Number: G71.5 .D44 2013).
