Spacetimes Matter. A Collection of Mapping Methodologies
Book Presentation with editors Jamie-Scott Baxter, Anna Juliane Heinrich, Séverine Marguin, Vivien Sommer
How can mapping capture the dynamic entanglements of space and time in a rapidly changing world? Spacetimes Matter is an invitation to rethink mapping as a critical tool for understanding multiple spacetimes―and how they come to matter. Introducing methodologies of spacetime mapping, the anthology presents a collection of interpretative, qualitative, and reflexive approaches to decoding urban processes, as well as socio-spatial and ecological dynamics. The mapping protocols collected here range from artistic and performative mappings and game development to complex, multimodal diagrams, and immersive virtual environments. Spacetimes Matter enables new perspectives for scholars and practitioners seeking insights into the shifting politics, processes, and imaginaries that make up contemporary more-than-human societies.
