At the Intersection of Emotions and Cartography - Emotional Cartographies

Abstract

Triggered by >unseen>, >invisible>, or >silent> emotionalscapes, the representation of >im-materiality> as material, the paper looks at theories, practices and meanings, the correlation be-tween >emotional> and >spatial>. How landscape-rooted affective elements can be (non) spatially represented? What are contribution and limitations of >Emotional Mapping> as a tool? How can we use experimental mapping techniques to map-out subjective >emotions> to the tangible, and how or to what extent qualitative data can be converted into a >standardized> spatial language? The paper argues for a mixed-methods approach, relying on sensory and participatory ethno-graphic techniques, bringing together Non-Quantitative GIS and the >conventional> one.
