Résumé:
In "Beyond the Map", Bonnett presents stories of the world’s most extraordinary spaces—many unmarked on any official map—all of which challenge our assumptions about what we know—or think we know—about our world. As cultural, religious and political boundaries ebb and flow with each passing day, traditional maps unravel and fragment. With the same adventurous spirit he(...)

As cultural, religious and political boundaries ebb and flow with each passing day, traditional maps unravel and fragment. With the same adventurous spirit he effused in the acclaimed Unruly Places, Bonnett takes us to thirty-nine incredible spots around the globe to explore these changing boundaries and stimulate our geographical imagination. Some are tied to disruptive contemporary political turbulence, such as the rise of ISIL, Russia’s incursions into Ukraine and the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom. Others explore the secret places not shown on Google Earth or reflect fast-changing landscapes.

Résumé:
An Atlas of Agendas is a political, social and economic atlas: informing the public about socio-political power structures and activating opportunities for the self and the commons. The French research and design group Bureau d´Études has been producing maps of contemporary political, social and economic systems that allow people to inform, reposition and empower themselves. Revealing what normally remains invisible, often in the shape of large-sized banners, and contextualizing apparently separate elements within new frameworks, these visualizations of interests and relations re-articulate the dominant symbolic order and actualize existing structures that otherwise remain concealed and unknown. This large-size hardcover book, panoramic in scope and theoretically both profound and accessible, is THE atlas for an emancipatory new citizenship that utilizes the opportunities of info-graphics from the local to the global and back again.

Résumé:

À la suite des voyageurs de la Renaissance partis cartographier les terra incognita du Nouveau Monde, « Terra Forma » propose, cinq siècles plus tard, de découvrir une autre Terre, ou plutôt de redécouvrir autrement celle que nous croyons si bien connaître en partant du constat que si les transformations récentes des conditions d’habitabilité du monde sont si difficiles à percevoir, c’est parce que les représentations disponibles sont trop abstraites, lointaines, et dans une certaine mesure trop stables. En proposant une extension du vocabulaire cartographique, ce livre est un manifeste pour l’imagination géographique, et, ce faisant, politique. Si certains des phénomènes auxquels nous assistons (érosion des sols, épuisement des ressources, accélération des espaces-temps urbains, intensification des zones polluées) nous échappent par leur échelle, leur durée, leur ampleur, c’est par le développement de nos techniques de représentation que l’on peut espérer mieux les comprendre. En mettant en « cartes » certaines propositions des sciences du Système-Terre et de la pensée écologique contemporaine, « Terra Forma » permet de mieux saisir leur portée politique.
