Hydrocartography in Times of Menacing Waters: Xokleng Mapping and the Politics of Floods in Southern Brazil
Maps have long been used to deal with menacing waters, to make them comprehensible and governable.

Following hydrofeminist and political ecology debates, it argues for a …
Is This Is Not an Atlas an Atlas? On the Pitfalls of Editing a Global Collection of Counter-Cartographies
As part of kollektiv orangotango+, we co-edited an international collection of activist, academic, and artistic “counter- mappings.” Because counter-mapping is historically closely connected with, and indebted to, anti-colonial struggles and decolonial politics, we hoped to locate our work within the wider debates about decolonial cartography and the decolonizing of the map. At the same time, preparing, producing, and distributing this publicatio…

Descartes unh…
