So it is quite amusing to me that I started writing about lateness and “lagging behind”. I feel at my best when I can take my time, when I’m not rushed. This often means that I have to make great efforts to fit into other people’s timelines. Despite my best intentions, deadlines often find me working up to the last minute. In the process of writing this thesis, I have finally made peace with my eternal time optimism that doesn’t always match the reality. Although it wasn’t always easy, I eventually came to the conclusion that, with things I really care about, it is fine, even necessary, to act as if I have all the time in the world. I certainly took my time with this thesis. Throughout the writing process, I learned a lot about queer timings and non-normative temporal trajectories and took note of the idea that lateness is not always a negative thing. Yet there comes a moment when time does run out, even if you would like to go on and on. As I’m putting the finishing touches to this manuscript, I am reminded of the myriad of wonderful people who allowed me to take my time yet also made sure that I would not be left lingering in the endless loop of “tomorrows”. First and foremost, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Anna-Stina Treumund, the main star of my thesis. Thank you, Anna-Stina, for trusting me with your time, patience, energy, art, thoughts, visions, desires and dreams! You have served as my inspiration for this research and I literally could not have done it without you! It has been an enjoyable, thought- provoking and challenging journey and I hope our creative dialogues will continue far into the futures to come. Thank you also for designing the beautiful cover for my book and for taking the trouble to fix the typesetting in the last-minute frenzy. Heartfelt thanks are also due to my amazing supervisors, Nina Lykke and Cecilia Åsberg! Thank you, Nina, for your unwavering support, generosity and encouragement as this thesis was taking shape. Your open mind and your passionate involvement in my project, even when I myself was not exactly sure what it was all about, sustained me throughout the most challenging moments.

The two-hour performance, during which the artist stood motionless as a number of snails explored her face, body and hair, engaged with concerns of spectacle, abjection and female identity now familiar from Coogan’s practice. The artist has also explicitly acknowledged the relationship between self-portraiture and the use of the body in performance art; Snails investigates this territory through aspects of both the staging of the performance and its subsequent documentation. However a further significant aspect of this piece is its acknowledgment of the earlier work of Alice Maher, whether in terms of similar concerns with abjection and identity or the role of both the art historical canon and the representation of the self. In this paper the acknowledgment of feminist precedent is investigated through the notion of femmage, a term here appropriated to signify the recognition of the influential role of earlier women practitioners, yet here identified also as situated within a history of the politics of the Irish female body since the 1980s.

  • Issue Mapping, Ageing, and Digital Methods
    1. Introduction: Issue mapping, ageing, and digital methods 1.1 Issue mapping Stakeholders, students, issue professionals, workshop participants, practitioners, advocates, action researchers, activists, artists, and social entrepreneurs are often asked to make sense of the social issues that concern and affect the organizations and projects they are involved with. In doing so, they have to cope with information sources both aggregated and disaggregated, where opposing claims clash and where structured narratives are unavailable, or are only now being written. At the same time, the issues must be analysed, for they are urgent and palpable. The outcomes of the projects also need to be communicated to the various publics and audiences of their work. These issue analysts employ a wide range of strategies and techniques to aid in making sense of the issues, and communicating them, and as such they undertake, in one form or another, what we call ‘issue mapping’. In a small workshop setting, the analysts may draw dots and lines on a whiteboard, and annotate them with sticky notes and multicoloured markers, in order to represent actors, connections, arguments and positions. At the sign-in table, at a barcamp, hundreds of activists write down on a large sheet of paper the URLs of their organizations or projects, forming a long list that is typed into the computer for the mapping to proceed. Analysts will harvest the links between the websites, and put up a large map for the participants to pore over and annotate. The attendees will ask questions about the method behind the mapping, and also how their nodes can become larger and less peripheral.

  • 1. Cartography: the Development and Critique of Maps and Mapmaking
    1. Cartography: the development and critique of maps and mapmaking Maps ‘are once again in the thick of it’ for critical social theorists, artists, literary critics and cultural geographers, but also in a very different way for planners, GIS researchers and scientists. Art and science offer different cartographic explanations. There are profound differences between those who research mapping as a practical form of applied knowledge, and those who seek to critique the map and the mapping process. (Perkins 2003: 341-342) Cartography is the study of maps and map-making. Classically, it focused on the art of the map-maker; today it includes the history of maps and their use in society. A map, as defined by the International Cartographic Association (2009), is ‘a symbolised image of geographical reality, representing selected features or characteristics, resulting from the creative effort of its author's execution of choices, and is designed for use when spatial relationships are of primary relevance’. While this definition eloquently indicates the varying constructions of maps, leading to the different ways maps are conceptualised and produced within society, its basic premise -- that a map is first and foremost ‘a symbolised image of a geographical reality’ -- has been challenged with the rise of a critical cartography/geography. Taking this definition as a starting premise, this chapter will seek to illustrate the ‘creativity’ and ‘selectivity’ of maps through a brief history of cartography, before embarking in later sections on a more critical analysis of the debates that surround the subject. The primary goal here is to understand the lessons that can be drawn from the historical development of cartography in a bid to assist contemporary criminologists in the development of more appropriate questions about maps and ultimately the process of crime mapping itself.

  • Exploring GIS and Maps As a Teaching Tool for Social Change
    273 Maps, Mapmaking, and Critical Pedagogy: Exploring GIS and Maps as a Teaching Tool for Social Change Denise Pacheco University of California, Los Angeles Graduate School of Education and Information Studies Veronica Nelly Velez University of California, Los Angeles Graduate School of Education and Information Studies I was nervous standing in front of my family, over one hundred community members, and the Pasadena School Board.1 I checked and double-checked my computer, power point slides, and notes one last time. The GIS maps I had spent months creating were ready to go—but was I? I gazed out into the audience at each one of the parents, students, and community members. Their lives and struggles were embedded in these maps that visually portrayed how race has shaped the demographics and opportunities available in Pasadena schools over the last fifty years. Yet, I knew as I looked out at the hopeful faces of my community that this information could not stand alone. Today the burden was on me to give a voice to the maps and to narrate a story of how parents and students experienced racism in Pasadena schools. Not only was I using statistical data to argue that the spaces students occupy in public and private schools within our “City of Roses” are heavily racialized, I was also telling an important counter-story of possibility. It was conveying the complexity of so many people’s experiences that made me the most nervous. Who was I to speak for so many? 274 SEATTLE JOURNAL FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE Slowly I began, explaining map after map.

These three major books document that fact profusely. The stunningly illustrated new book on the monumental Dinner Party, an icon of one aspect of feminist art from the late 1970s, serves as a counterpoint for Wack, which focuses on feminism from 1965 to 1980 and Global Feminisms which includes artists born since the 1960, meaning that most of the work dates from the 1990s to the present. The 1980s are omitted from this trio of invaluable historical overviews, although a selected chronology of all-women exhibitions in Wack extends from 1943 to 1983.

Our theories on mapping emphasize the merging of critical cartography (Crampton, 2010) and critical spatial theories (Lefebvre, 1991; Massey, 1994; Soja, 1989; 2010). Crampton (2010) underscores four principles that identifies shared practices. He write both challenges unexamined assumptions of representations of place, offers spatial and historical understandings of place, examines power, and finally provides an emancipatory process (p.17).

Pablo Iván Azócar Fernández Gutachter: Herr Prof. Dr. phil.habil. Manfred F. Buchroithner Technische Universität Dresden Herr Prof. Dr. Zsolt G. Török Eötvös Lórand University, Budapest Dresden, February 09, 2012 Die Übereinstimmung dieses Exemplars mit dem Original der Dissertation zum Thema: „Paradigmatic Tendencies in Cartography: A Synthesis of the Scientific-Empirical, Critical and Post-Representational Perspectives“ wird hiermit bestätigt. ……………………………………….…. Ort, Datum Azócar, Pablo ……………………………………….…. Unterschrift (Vorname Name) i Abstract Maps have been important elements of visual representation in the development of different societies, and for this reason they have mainly been considered from a practical and utilitarian point of view. This means that cartographers or mapmakers have largely focused on the technical aspects of the cartographic products, and cartography has given little attention to both its theoretical component and to its philosophical and epistemological aspects. The current study is dedicated to consider these views. In this study the main trends, thoughts and different directions in cartography during positivism/empiricism, neo-positivism and post-structuralism are reviewed; and cartography is analysed under the modernism and post-modernism periods. Some of the arguments proposed by philosophers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein and Karl Popper are examined as important contributions in our understanding of the development of cartography and mapping. This study also incorporates the idea or concept of paradigm, which has been taken from the field of the epistemology of sciences.
