    Mobile Mapping

    This book argues for a theory of mobile mapping, a situated and spatial approach towards researching how everyday digital mobile media practices are bound up in global systems of knowledge and power. Drawing from literature in media studies and geography - and the work of Michel Foucault and Doreen Massey - it examines how geographical and historical material, social, and cultural conditions are embedded in the way in which contemporary (digital) cartographies are read, deployed, and engaged. This is explored through seventeen walking interviews in Hong Kong and Sydney, as potent discourses like cartographic reason continue to transform and weave through the world in ways that haunt mobile mapping and bring old conflicts into new media. In doing so, Mobile Mapping offers an interdisciplinary rethinking about how multiple translations of spatial knowledges between rational digital epistemologies and tacit ways of understanding space and experience might be conceptualized and researched

    The Shape-Shifting Territory: Colonialism, Shamanism and A’I Kofán place-making in the Amazonian Piedmont, Colombia

    This research attempts to bring into a serious dialogue critical ethnography and postcolonial historiography to analyse the Kofan indigenous peoples of the Colombian amazon frontier and the transformations of their socio-spatial practices and cosmographies in a long durée perspective. The thesis is chiefly focused on problematizing "indigenous territory", the notion that is taken for granted by a diverse range of actors, including the Colombian state, indigenous activist, as well as analysts. The ethnographic exploration presented unpacks the ways in which the Kofan people constructs and perceives the territory as complex and 'shape-shifting' in a context of historical violence, colonization, missionization, cocaine production, sorcery and militarization

    El entorno social,el territorio, los productos y las empresas, son ámbitos comunes,en los que se pretende realizar una optimización en la gestión del conocimiento,y desde la que se nos debe permitir observar el mayor número de factores con incidencia en la decisión proyectual necesaria para el diseño de nuevos productos y o servicios.Los retos que plantea la complejidad inherente a estos nuevos tiempos, exige la observación y estudio desde diferentes abordajes e investigaciones, que deberán ser capaces de interpretar las múltiples relaciones complejas, considerando su comportamiento y afectación en el proceso de diseño desde el ámbito complejo de lo multidisciplinar.Hernandis Ortuño, B.
