Beneath a veneer of neutrality, we see that maps are actually social expressions, forged from frequently contested geographic knowledge. While laudable moves toward participatory mapping in the early 1990s sought to include diverse constituents, more recent studies have turned a critical eye upon the participatory nature of these endeavors. Tracking developments in both web services and software programs, mapping and spatial data production have skyrocketed in popularity due to the geospatial web (“geoweb”), such as Google’s suite of proprietary programs, and open-source alternatives such as OpenStreetMap. However, while both proprietary and open-source systems might increase public engagement with participatory mapping, these systems rest on diametrically opposed value sets concerning the production and dissemination of geographic knowledge. Debate has begun to rage among academics and practitioners concerning the ethical implications of these various software platforms. This special issue seeks to provide a window into these debates and the changing face of participatory mapping. >Articles are requested for publication in a special issue journal of Antipode. Papers should not exceed 9,500 words, inclusive of endnotes, references, etc. Articles should be based on research with these data management systems, but also engage with larger theoretical questions, including but not limited to: >1. How do different mapping platforms differ epistemologically and practically, from both academic and end-user perspectives? >2. How might or might not these differences impact public participatory mapping activities, and a participatory ethic writ large? >3. What roles should data ownership for marginalized communities take within these platforms? Who benefits from current data ownership policies, and how are these concerns implicated in these mapping platforms? >4. Do these differing approaches to geographic knowledge ownership inform the types of knowledge that should be produced in any of these platforms? > > >Timeline > * Submission of Abstracts and Author bio- August 15th2011 > * Notification concerning inclusion in proposed special issue- > Sept. 1st2011 > * Submission of papers-March 1st 2012 > * Publication-2013 > > >Please submit abstracts and author bios to David Meek ([email protected]) and Ryan Burns ([email protected]) by August 15th > >David Meek > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJON/zKAAoJEJIUallkssB4cj0P/AxtLJzfCkkKaSEXzuTCEag/ bHTRmcuKTKaHl8qdnsk5tDkE0nDR2iGmvhp6QRmAf2HP7+bK76y+H2BZ/ga+PqwO 2T2kGo8ICBNflC5g1j9xHMYNyr+ee6j7DXBV5BqWhY+3CYv3H5l+vjDnnp+5xWnP QHwCmd4beyme+noXp3lfgOBgVxBodlhpc9p+7X7OnSLVBT+Y5L4OR3dcgLnvhHzF DI9yJmJooxwAfCBmknoRQ6jadgcgRfn2Y7dOh24e2t9aLpw7YeaYFm2oiCXSKRtP XFhYrR+CksNl/5tQvuNorSowIIQiVu+7b0Gfq2BesDuAfe5v/upbJi64TbyJSGTh kYDHB8bNK3ScXjwa/O8it+QJhncSJNc1nJNK4sCGJqJH+n/D9pnbTBvSrEuRAHaM bFG6DcXGpyH8CJPqmxCO1ObfI5DRafZsVfhM2eoIqotFz/70lIa1/BUnaPREqxky iYFBg4RzxVHn2k9BFeutDcyPvnANTSGaQlNqnoX4dexASN/LxH9D80zIwz9zvdKB lWrPF4Z3OycvkGge8CEw4Dr152n7nD+5BcMxyYqF8qKdmL64cQVZo3xKmIPKOYoJ iIE3fQmv6w0nv7P/Tdg0by1yNVyUQ2fKMfs8f/L+tZOZP6UoDqDT3DF0hpQFwJzG /Bp6lu9XkjbTbnXTyDAo =7lAv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
