Introduction

Critical Cartography is a dynamic, cross disciplinary field of study that challenges

traditional cartographers by pushing against the supposition that maps are objective

representations of real space and instead calls “into question the presumptions of

professional cartography, “professional cartography” referring at once to official map-

making, the dominant map houses, and academic cartography” (Krygier and Wood 3).

Drawing from postmodernist philosophers, such as Foucault, during the late 1980s and

early 1990s, advocates of critical cartography set out to reveal “the ‘hidden agendas of

cartography’ as tools of socio-spatial power” (Einat 1). Critical cartography puts forward

new mapping practices, known as counter-mapping. Counter-mapping refers to any map-

making processes that challenge the formal maps of the state. This includes Indigenous

cartography or ethnocartography, art mapping and cognitive mapping.

Indigenous cartography, sometimes referred to as ethnocartography refers to non-western

mapping practices created from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and running

challenging colonial assertions over land claims.

Art mapping is “nothing less than the remaking of the world” (Krygier and Wood 10).

The remapping of the social, cultural or linguistic space challenges the entire notion of

the professional map and asserts a new form of what is real. Visual artists often create

new maps from traditional maps or do away with their boundaries all together.

Cognitive Mapping or mental mapping “refers to the ways in which people comprehend,

learn, remember, record and articulate their experiences in the physical environment”

(Einat 1).

Critical cartography moves the map beyond the realm of an object and into a space for

complex critical thinking in regards to understanding our world. As such, the develop-

ment of critical maps are often used as tools for activists and those committed to social

justice pursuing a new narrative counter to colonial descriptions of space, time and

memory.

Audience

This research plan was designed to serve researchers in the field of cartography, human

geography, Indigenous studies, visual art and art history, border studies, political science,

American studies and other related social sciences. This plan may also serve librarians

working with map collections and georeferencing tools. The core of the sources would

best serve faculty and students of the University of Hawaii at Mānoa (UHM), but it is

broad enough in scope for this interested in pursuing this field outside of the university.

Reference Sources

For background information on the field of Critical Cartography and its related fields,

there were several reference sources that I consulted through Hamilton Library:

Chicago, 1987. Print. (Call Number: GA201 .H53 1987 ).

This two volume set, whose initial volume was published in 1987 was followed by three

books compiling the second volume that were released in piece meal over the next 11

years. This collection sets out to define a new set of relationships between maps and the

physical world and repositioning at the heart of cultural life and society.

This book provides a good overview of the origin of the subject area of cognitive

mapping, contemporary discussions and the directions this type of spatial interrogation is

headed.

Citation Style & Coding Key

All citations in this bibliographic research plan follow the guidelines of the MLA

Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th edition). The coding key for this project

primarily utilized key word search terms (KW) in lower case and in quotes, keywords

with Boolean operators (AND OR NOT) will be in mixed case with the Boolean

operators in caps. Controlled vocabulary (CV) search terms in all caps.

Search Strategy

I applied the coding key as previously stated and used the Library of Congress

Classification Outline to determine subject headings, their subclasses and call numbers.

Since this research plan caters primarily to the UHM and academic libraries, I did not use

Dewey Decimal classifications in my search. I also did not include subject headings that

included literary mapping which would have made the scope too broad and taken away

from the focus of spatial criticism and applied mapping practice.

Subject Headings

Library of Congress (LC)

To locate Library of Congress subject headings and call numbers I rely on the Library of

Congress Classification Outline. I began with the subject of Geography and narrowed the

terms from this point.

Subject headings:

Search Terms

Instructions

The coding key to delineate between the difference between terms are keyword searches

in lower case, Boolean expressions have a mixed case combining keywords in lower case

and Boolean term in all caps (AND OR NOT). Natural language strings are lower case

and in quotes to set them apart. ? are used for truncation purposes to allow for variations.

Keywords

The following are keywords related to critical cartography or counter mapping. These

terms are helpful for database searches. Some terms have ? marks for truncation to allow

for variants in the term.

cartograph? (cartography, cartographer, cartographic) critical

Indigen? (indigenous, indigeneity) map

cognit? (cognition, cognitive) map

Search Process

OPACS (Online Public Access Catalogs)

UH Voyager

I conducted the majority of my searches through Voyager since this bibliographic plan

caters to UH Mānoa students. The site yielded a great number of titles on indigenous

cartography and counter mapping. However, I realized that because critical cartography

is not an LC subject heading, the only way for most searches to be effective, keywords

and not subject searches were needed.

WorldCat

WorldCat was not as productive for this topic as I hoped it would be, because it usually

held more title options than Voyager and could be used to request titles through UH

Mānoa’s Interlibrary Loans program. WorldCat tends to be my go-to OPAC when I am

unable to locate titles in UH Voyager, however, I found that it had the same problems as

Voyager in terms of search terms and required some creative alternatives to get at the

good stuff.

Databases and Indexes

These databases and indexes have extensive resources pertaining to all aspects of

geography and cartography.

Academic Search Complete (EBSCOhost)

This database provided poor results for the keyword search “critical cartography” but the

keyword phrase “counter mapping” yielded at least 35 appropriate articles and 9 results

for the Boolean expression “indigenous mapping” AND “counter mapping”. The

keyword phrase “indigenous mapping” alone provided 84 results. Trying to find these

terms under (CV) subject headings provided no results. The majority of the articles have

been published within the last 8 years, many within the last two years. So this database is

a wonderful resource for contemporary articles.

Dissertations & Theses (ProQuest)

This database proved productive for this subject area. However, su(indigenous) AND

su(cartography) produced interesting results that proved useful. 2 dissertations examined

the role of Hawaiian knowledge and ways of finding. The Boolean expression (cognitive

mapping) AND indigenous produced 20 interesting dissertations. Surprisingly there were

several papers to art and cartography.

GeoBase via Engineeering Village 2 (Elsevier)

This database in a compendex or bibliographic engineering database that provides

geographic resources combined with GeoRef via Engineering Village 2. The database can

be limited to search only within GeoBase. The Engineering Village database uses the CV

(WN) for within and (KY) for subject/title/abstract. This proved to be very fruitful for

((counter mapping) WN KY) which provided over a thousand results, so several limiters

had to be applied in regards to region and type of mapping to bring the number down to

Page 8: CRITICAL CARTOGRAPHY - University of Hawaiiirvinv/students/finalenomotosp16.pdf · Critical Cartography is a dynamic, cross disciplinary field of study that challenges ... (cartography,

Joy Enomoto

LIS 601: Bibliographic Research Plan

7

375 results. ((indigenous cartography) WN KY) had 94 results. The Boolean expression

(((art) WN KY) AND ((critical mapping) WN KY)) with the additional limiters

({mapping} OR {semantics} OR {art} OR {maps} OR {visualization}) WN CV) yield

125 articles.

GeoRef via Engineering Village 2 (Elsevier)

This database produces the same results as GeoBase unless limited to within GeoRef and

compendex, excluding GeoBase. This limits the results to only 25 results or less per

query and may also give different results. The main focus of this database is geology in

North America from 1785 until present with references to the U.S. geological survey, so

as a stand-alone database, it is not ideal for this subject.

JSTOR

This database only allows for full text, abstract, caption, title or author search. Yet this

site produced the most full-text material for the search term critical cartography, but was

the least productive for the term indigenous cartography, only offering book reviews.

This site also had surprisingly less constructive items related to art maps than I would

have expected. For example, the search ((critical cartography) AND (art mapping))

produced over 395,000 results so it would take far too long to sift through all of these.

OneSearch Manoa

By far the most productive resource for this subject, since it is linked to the Voyager

catalog and gives the most efficient articles and specific entries. For UH Mānoa students

this is definitely the best place to find resources. For example, as soon as you type in the

keyword critical cartography, the first result is the reference entry “Critical Cartography”

from the Encyclopedia of Human Geography. Since OneSearch is an OCLC (online

computer library center) is links multiple databases and therefore can produce some of

the most accurate results. OneSearch also makes it easy to exclude topics such as

literature mapping, which is difficult to do on other databases even with the help of

Boolean operators and other limiters.

Science Direct

This database pulls from science journals and books. Although, this database has a

limited number of publication titles it yielded a few good quality sources.

Web of ScienceIn the areas of Geography, Area Studies many articles come up in

relationship to critical cartography (214) and indigenous cartography (98) and 31 articles

come up for the topic (TS) search: mental mapping. You have to check each article for its

full text availability, but it is a good resource. It is not a good resource for art mapping.

No results came up for this area.

Web Resources

Google Books

Google Books is a comprehensive index of full text titles books. A good ready reference

source, if you are in a hurry. It actually proved to be a great resource for books on critical

cartography. More comprehensive than the OPACS and the databases combined. But

also, reflected much of what could be found in WorldCat.

Google Scholar

While it’s not without its problems, this is still a good quick search site for full text

searches. Critical cartography pulls up 84,000 results, I would say about 200 are relevant.

Indigenous cartography brings up 26,000 results and mental mapping AND indigenous

pulls up 92,000 results. Quite frankly, I would only check the first two pages of results or

add date limiters to use these sources. This is a terrible site for art and critical

cartography, primarily because it is a new field in terms of scholarly study as opposed to

practice.

Conclusion

Critical Cartography is considered a broad and multidisciplinary field of study. It is also a

relatively new field in the world of cartography, so the CV search terms are not as

productive as I would like them to be. As referred to in the Getty publication

“Introduction to Controlled Vocabularies,” “The most important functions of a controlled

vocabulary are to gather together variant terms and synonyms for concepts and to link

concepts in a logical order or sort them into categories” (Harpring 2.1). It has been my

experience that anything that challenges established bodies of study or relate to social

justice somehow require more creative searches. That was definitely true in this situation.

The concept of art mapping, which as a practice is not new, but it is only now being

examined in the social science and geography disciplines. Therefore, there are is no easy

way to explore this area. Cognitive or mental mapping which comes under psychology

and ethnology can provide results that are far too broad and require multiple limiters.

Sites like Google Scholar, do not help matters by providing results in the thousands.

I can’t help but think of the articles written by Dr. Jasco, mocking the ways in which

Google Scholar provides results, “GS lumps together the number of master records

(created for actual publications) and the number of citation records (distinguished by the

prefix: [citation]) when reporting the total hits for an author name search” (Jasco 26).

Google Scholar was a bit of a metadata nightmare. However, even though Google Books

also produced far too many results, it proved to be a much more pleasant experience.

Perhaps Google is more concerned with its commercial sales than its scholarly articles.

Although 51,000 results for books on critical cartography is ridiculous, but the first 3

pages were great. It was clear that date limiters were mandatory.

Natural language strings were not the most effective route for this subject. I relied heavily

on OPACs and databases where subject headings, keywords and Boolean expressions are

dominant. However, I so badly wanted to change the LC subject headings to produce

more efficient results, which called to mind the Rolla article on “User Tags versus

Subject Headings,” primarily because keyword searches produced better results than

subject searches. LCSH are often a bit too controlled and do not apply to how topics are

actually used. Even though “User tags by themselves cannot provide the best subject

access to the materials in library collections, but they can help point libraries in the right

direction” (Rolla 182). For example, there really is no proper term to capture art mapping

as it relates to critical cartography. It would be nice to be able to collectively coin a term

and add it to the record without having to deal with the drawn out processes of the

Library of Congress.

What I loved about this topic is that it is ideal discipline to apply radical reference

(citation needed). If librarians become involved in critical cartography, then librarians

can “go to the roots of our communities who thirst for info access in order to affect a

growth for the entire community” (Feliciter 12). Critical cartography was used by

librarians during the Occupy Wall Street movement and with more librarians becoming

trained in Global Information System technology and georeferencing, critical cartography

can only enhance the skills of reference librarians.
