6. Emplaced cartographies: reconceptualising camera phone practices in an age of locative media

Abstract

In the context of the increased use of high-quality camera phones, along with the growth in distribution services via social and locative media, we are witnessing new forms of visuality emerging. These new types of 'co-present' visuality overlay and interweave online and offline cartographies in different ways--maps that require a revision of ethnography. In this article, we frame this phenomenon as a shift from networked visuality to emplaced visuality and sociality. That is, we reflect upon previous models deployed in mobile communication and depart from them to consider how a phenomenological approach--rooted in visual and multisensorial ethnography--might help provide insight into this dynamic media cartography and the socialities associated with it., With the rise of high-quality camera phones, accompanied by the growth in in-phone editing applications and distribution services via social and locative media, we are witnessing the appearance of new [...]

13. Maps and Spaces(*)

Author

Blaut, J.M.

Subjects
Geographical perception -- Social aspects, Spatial behavior -- Research, Human geography -- Methods, Space perception -- Social aspects, Maps -- Social aspects, Geography
Abstract

Two quite different concepts of space are important in geography and environmental psychology. One is the concept of macro-environment, of space as geographical scale. The other is the concept of form-at-a-timeless-instant: of naive geometry. Confusing these two concepts leads to serious errors. This paper examines some methodological and philosophical sources of this confusion, and points to a number of research problems in geography and psychology that can benefit from an untangling of the two concepts of space. One such problem is the need to understand the development of mapping abilities in very young children. Another is the larger question of building a body of theory to explain the development of macro-environmental cognition and behavior. Key Words: macro-environment, spatial form, scale, children's mapping.
