Feminist Visualization: Re-envisioning GIS as a Method in Feminist Geographic Research
TL;DR: This paper explored the possibilities for critical engagement through revisiting some of the central arguments in the critical discourse from feminist perspectives, and examined whether GIS methods are inherently incompatible with feminist epistemologies through interrogating their connection with positivist scientific practices and visualization technologies.

Abstract: Despite considerable progress in recent geographic information systems (GIS) research (especially on public-participation GIS), the critical discourse on GIS in the 1990s does not seem to have affected GIS practices in geographic research in significant ways. Development in critical GIS practice has been quite limited to date, and GIS and critical geographies remain two separate, if not overtly antagonistic, worlds. This suggests that critical engagement that seeks to conceive and materialize the critical potential of GIS for geographic research is still sorely needed. In this article, I explore the possibilities for this kind of critical engagement through revisiting some of the central arguments in the critical discourse from feminist perspectives. I examine whether GIS methods are inherently incompatible with feminist epistemologies through interrogating their connection with positivist scientific practices and visualization technologies. Bearing in mind the limitations of current GIS, I explore severa...

Research Topics in Feminist and Gender Geography from 1975 to 2021. A Brief Assessment of Romania’s Status.
TL;DR: In this article , a set of 8,376 Web of Science published research is investigated and 32 main topics of study are derived, as well as a spatial extension breakdown, highlighting three main stages of development of the field based on the emergence of new topics: the substantiation stage (1975-1989), the diversification stage (1990-2009), and the "boom" stage (2009-2021).
Toward a New Integrated Mixed Method Research Practice
Nigel Fielding
- 01 Jan 2010
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that there is an emergent convergence of methodologies and analytical purposes between qualitative geography and qualitative social science, and show how methodological and analytical convergence has been enabled by technological convergence between geographical information systems (GIS) and qualitative software (CAQDAS).
The spatial self: Location-based identity performance on social media
TL;DR: The concept of the "spatial self" is introduced: a theoretical framework encapsulating the process of online self-presentation based on the display of offline physical activities that investigates the relationships between location, information technology, and identity performance.

Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present La Volonté de Savoir, the methodological introduction of a projected five-volume history of sexuality, which seems to have a special fascination for Foucault: the gradual emergence of medicine as an institution, the birth of political economy, demography and linguistics as human sciences, the invention of incarceration and confinement for the control of the "other" in society (the mad, the libertine, the criminal) and that special violence that lurks beneath the power to control discourse.
