Speculative geographies
Speculative thinking has made its mark in several disciplines and literary genres, including continental philosophy, predictive analytics, and science (or speculative) fiction. What might speculation look like through a geographical lens? And how would such thinking in a distinctly geographical register build on and possibly place into a wider context work on utopias, alternative communities, game worldscapes, and speculative futures? This conver…
Introduction to regional approaches to data, environment and society
Theoretical and methodological research into the geographical effects of software, algorithms, sensors and platforms increasingly focuses squarely on data and their analysis. Amidst increasing attention on ‘the digital’ (broadly defined) within various cognate fields, scholars have begun critically scrutinizing the recursive relations between individual, society, city-regions and environment as mediated through technological and computational dev…
"Smart" Discourses, the Limits of Representation, and New Regimes of Spatial Data
As "smart" urbanism becomes more influential, spaces and places are increasingly represented through numeric and categorical data that have been gathered by sensors, devices, and people. Such systems purportedly provide access to always visible, measurable, and knowable spaces, facilitating ever more rational management and planning. Smart city spaces are thus governed through the algorithmic administration and categorization of difference and st…
Rhizomatic data assemblages
Data, how we conceptualize them, who uses them, and how they are used, are central to current questions about smart cities and critical data studies. This article develops a conceptual framework, rhizomatic data assemblages, to better understand how data-driven mapping practices call out, problematize, and attempt to change the social relations of housing in American cities. Kitchin and Lauriault outline the concept of data assemblages as an appr…
Playful Mapping in the Digital Age
Play is important. Play is a key part of the everyday cultural coproduction of geographical knowledges and practices across all age groups. Play involving digital media opens new possibilities, not only in cartographic visualization and education, but in what mapping is and what we do with it. The importance of Playful Mapping in the Digital Age is twofold: First, it engages and evaluates these playful mapping processes in serious, unprecedented,…
Counter‐mapping data science
Counter‐mapping is a combination of critical ideas and practices for social change that offers a productive and promising approach for grassroots data science initiatives. Current information technologies collect, store, and analyze data with new degrees of size, speed, heterogeneity, and detail. While much work utilizing data science technologies is dedicated to generating profit or to national security, some data science projects explicitly att…

Critical Data Studies
In light of recent technological innovations and discourses around data and algorithmic analytics, scholars of many stripes are attempting to develop critical agendas and responses to these developments (boyd and Crawford 2012). In this mutual interview, three scholars discuss the stakes, ideas, responsibilities, and possibilities of critical data studies. The resulting dialog seeks to explore what kinds of critical approaches to these topics, in…
Revisiting critical GIS
The article looks into the critical geographic information science (GIS) in approaching questions both emerging and enduring around the intersection of the spatial and the digital. It offers trading zones for discussion of issues, for building alliances and interrogating tensions, and for a constant dialectical process of critique and renewal. One tension running through critical GIS is the contradictory role it has played in addressing questions…
Inflated granularity
Data analytics, particularly the current rhetoric around "Big Data", tend to be presented as new and innovative, emerging ahistorically to revolutionize modern life. In this article, we situate one branch of Big Data analytics, spatial Big Data, through a historical predecessor, geodemographic analysis, to help develop a critical approach to current data analytics. Spatial Big Data promises an epistemic break in marketing, a leap from targeting g…
For fun and profit
Software developers who create geographic web applications are a new kind of mapmaker producing new kinds of maps. They typically use private web-mapping services, such as Google Maps, without training in cartography or geographic information systems. How do software developers become mapmaking subjects producing geographic knowledges in the context of corporate mapping services? I argue that geoweb developers' subject positions and geographic kn…
Sovereigns, Spooks, and Hackers
Google geo services, such as Google Maps and Google Earth, offer popular and powerful geographic ways of seeing the world. This is a social history of the cartographic visions at work in Google geo services and related geoweb applications/map mashups. These geographic technologies are the result of shifting configurations of power that include state programs, private corporations, and small-scale tinkerer/hackers. Through these shifts, two partic…
