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...

Remotely Sensing Affective Afterlives: The Spectral Geographies of Material Remains
TL;DR: A modified understanding of remote sensing can, however, inform cultural geographical research into the persistence and circulation of spectral geographies as discussed by the authors, where the remains of the Andree Balloon Expedition to the North Pole were found on a remote, ice-covered Arctic island in 1930.
Social Power and GIS Technology: A Review and Assessment of Approaches for Natural Resource Management
TL;DR: In this paper, the introduction of GIS into the public participation process in natural resource management blurs the boundaries between science and nonscience, requiring a revision of the way we think about, learn from, and use maps for environmental decision-making.

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.
