Critical Cartography and Map Analysis
One of the main directions of the VisLab is to develop and provide a systematic and critical analysis of peace and conflict visualisations with the intention to articulate relevant concepts, explore features and develop its typologies
Drawing on the analysis of visualisations and best practices, the VisLab will explore and propose a variety of visualisation approaches related to the topic lines and case studies in the KonKoop project.
In this inventory, the VisLab collects diverse examples in which peace, conflict and their entanglements with other socio-spatial processes are visualised by various actors (e.g. scientists, media, or artists).
