1 00:00:04,490 --> 00:00:14,120 Good afternoon. First of all, I would like to thank Bodleian Libraries for the opportunity to participate in the seminar. 2 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:24,960 I represent part of my PTSD, of my ongoing PHC research conducted at State University of Georgia, NATO and Brazil, supervised by professor, 3 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:32,790 and that I hasten advice with financial support from catfish called from body is territory to feminicide, 4 00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:37,020 snapping practises discourses and mapping languages. 5 00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:47,540 The Latin American feminist cartographer's. First of all, we've been calling legman, American feminist cartographer's, 6 00:00:47,540 --> 00:00:55,940 a broad set of middle dialogical strategies and theoretical constructions undertaken in recent years, 7 00:00:55,940 --> 00:01:04,470 especially by autonomous collectives and woman members from Mexico, Ecuador, Ottoway and Argentina. 8 00:01:04,470 --> 00:01:12,560 Based on exploratory research, we have systematised into two main axis, deeply articulated one, 9 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:18,450 the cartography of family sites and to cartography of the body is term to me. 10 00:01:18,450 --> 00:01:32,290 My research main goal is to identify, systematise and analyse the practises, discourses and mapping languages used by these feminist cartographers. 11 00:01:32,290 --> 00:01:42,960 For this research, which under understand feminism and cartography as academic fields and as political fields and permanent dispute, 12 00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:49,750 we uses theoretical in its ideological basis the critical studies on cartography, 13 00:01:49,750 --> 00:01:59,590 in dialogue with the colonial perspective, the contributions of intersectional feminist geographies and colonial feminism, 14 00:01:59,590 --> 00:02:04,810 and a feminist methodology in agreement with hardly. 15 00:02:04,810 --> 00:02:07,690 We consider maps as deep texts, 16 00:02:07,690 --> 00:02:17,140 cultural artefacts and socially constructed discourses inserted in an asymmetric relations of power and knowledge as such. 17 00:02:17,140 --> 00:02:27,040 Photography creates invisibility is geographical imaginary areas, and it's a monicker ways of reading the world and thinking about space. 18 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:35,680 However, as a field in dispute, photography has been appropriated by other agents whose practises not only expose 19 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,540 it to Monaco character in the construction of representations about the world, 20 00:02:40,540 --> 00:02:45,750 but also create new narrative and representations about reality. 21 00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:48,470 And dialogue with Feminist Geography's. 22 00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:55,880 We understand that issues concerning women's lives were excluded from cartography, denying female body suspects. 23 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:01,550 They show experiences and limiting geographical imaginations about space. 24 00:03:01,550 --> 00:03:07,100 In this sense, to dialogue with colonial feminism also seems fundamental. 25 00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:12,440 Explaining the relationship. The relations have chips between Kolon on reality and women's bodies. 26 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:22,340 Submission to colonial feminism. Consider the body the first place where power penetrates through a historical process in 27 00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:29,570 which female but a submission was associated with or full control of the territories. 28 00:03:29,570 --> 00:03:36,530 At the same time, when considering the body as a space, as a space for politics, which is never monolithic. 29 00:03:36,530 --> 00:03:42,110 But is that grasped by conflicts, it considers the body as the first place from rich. 30 00:03:42,110 --> 00:03:45,350 Resistance is offered a result. 31 00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:52,910 The resumption of the body as a political sphere is directly related to this new cultural graphic production construction, 32 00:03:52,910 --> 00:04:04,850 with the idea of an abstract map and subject, an embodied situated subject that produces maps opposed to the interests of objectivity and neutrality, 33 00:04:04,850 --> 00:04:10,550 represent contextualised and embodied knowledge productions. In this sense, 34 00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:17,930 the research will be viewed based on a feminist methodology that also situates the researcher and recognised 35 00:04:17,930 --> 00:04:27,730 woman mappers as agents of knowledge production from their specific political practises and contexts. 36 00:04:27,730 --> 00:04:36,590 Following now, I'm going to show you some examples of cartography of family size I've been researching. 37 00:04:36,590 --> 00:04:48,400 So now my girl is a Mexican artist, Horne, since 2000, 14 maps the places where the bodies of women victims are family sites have been found. 38 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:56,740 In her words, it's a matter of indicating the territories of death, which for the authorities remain invisible. 39 00:04:56,740 --> 00:05:01,030 The map is produced by her on the Google Maps flat platform, 40 00:05:01,030 --> 00:05:14,270 identifying family sites in Mexico State from the records made through newspaper and other data generated by families collecting. 41 00:05:14,270 --> 00:05:19,410 This is the mapping of feminine science in Nicolau, produced by the Colectivo that feel of it, 42 00:05:19,410 --> 00:05:26,040 if you put it together Liquorland throughout 2016 and 2017. 43 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:34,440 From the joint work with our feminist collectives inspired by Sanghamitra beguiles work for the mapping out feminicide. 44 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:41,160 A survey was done in official sources such as hotlines and public prosecutor's office. 45 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:51,690 Given the deficiencies in official data I saw was started in newspapers and previous monitoring carried out by other feminist collectives. 46 00:05:51,690 --> 00:06:04,520 A series of automatic maps were produced and published from which we had the Cintas Centre's map indicating pheromone sites between 2014 and 2016. 47 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:10,010 Like other maps from the collective of the serious cartography so as not to forget, 48 00:06:10,010 --> 00:06:14,870 the map has a specific design aimed at drawing the public's attention. 49 00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:20,730 Also bringing text with complimentary information that help in the construction of a console. 50 00:06:20,730 --> 00:06:33,680 It's a monarch narrative consignment concerning gender based violence, emphasising the state's core responsibility for crimes of feminicide. 51 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:42,800 Part of the strategies of diffusion and incidents in public opinion and governments fears as part of this strategies. 52 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:51,890 The map was printed in large size and took part in a performance organised by different feminist collectives in 2016, 53 00:06:51,890 --> 00:06:56,780 along with the performance manifest from critical geography against women. 54 00:06:56,780 --> 00:07:06,260 Violence was addressed to the National Congress. The mapping work was also extended to training workshops with journalists affected 55 00:07:06,260 --> 00:07:14,170 into Germanic discourse around gender based violence that occupies the media. 56 00:07:14,170 --> 00:07:22,720 Now, present to cartographer's after badass territory, which has been developed mainly by the collective middle of the street because the story 57 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:33,390 of this feminisms and has been replicated by other feminist collectives in the region. 58 00:07:33,390 --> 00:07:42,840 It's a body mapping methodology developed by the collective and me gathers because a collective formed by women and men from Ecuador, Mexico, 59 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:53,340 Spain, Brazil and would require based on feminist cartographer's, feminist liberation theologist and comany, community and colonial feminism. 60 00:07:53,340 --> 00:08:01,440 The body is territory mapping methodology. It was created from the experience of feminist activists with communities 61 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,320 affected by extractive projects in Ecuador and other Latin American contexts. 62 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:17,220 They realised the control of the territories was also transferred to the control of female bodies inspired by the methodology of social cartography. 63 00:08:17,220 --> 00:08:25,040 The mapping consists of exploring the body as territory in both the subjective and the political sense of the term, 64 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,640 relating the bodies to their symmetric relations of power and to disputes over 65 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:35,340 the over the appropriation of the space in which these bodies are inscribed. 66 00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:42,610 The dynamic starts over sensorial, exercising, reconnecting with the body in sequence. 67 00:08:42,610 --> 00:08:51,780 There is the mapping of the body of each one. Considering the health and disease conditions, the affection, the memories, the scars of violence, 68 00:08:51,780 --> 00:08:58,830 the multiple aggressions that cross the body in a contest of violation of the ten terms. 69 00:08:58,830 --> 00:09:05,670 The dynamics are fundamentally based on experiences and memories, both collective and individual. 70 00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:06,390 And on the borders, 71 00:09:06,390 --> 00:09:18,320 recovery as an essential category to rethink depression suffered and the knowledge and sense is lost in a patriarchal gender structure. 72 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:29,770 The collective memory down Street just published a guide for mapping the barriers to return, which I invite you to explore. 73 00:09:29,770 --> 00:09:37,540 Even though it's appeared to do research at an early stage, I would like to make some initial insights. 74 00:09:37,540 --> 00:09:47,440 By placing women's bodies on maps, a traditional instrument of patriarchal geography of control over female bodies, hence space this remote. 75 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:55,810 Just one man mappers to Germanic, understand enough cartography and highlight this existence and the violence suffered by Subjects', 76 00:09:55,810 --> 00:10:05,260 who until then had been marginalised by the state and to discipline cryptography itself, including some counterman, have been practised. 77 00:10:05,260 --> 00:10:06,160 Therefore, 78 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:17,220 this cartographer's represents a rupture of silence and the erasures related to the place of women and and the feminine in maps and mapping. 79 00:10:17,220 --> 00:10:24,900 They used different supports from traditional cartography, virtual resources and unconventional mapping methods. 80 00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:32,040 Playing with the rules according to their convenience, possibilities and objectives, objectives to be achieved. 81 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:43,770 Weather related to visibility, denunciation, community communities strengthening and firm relation of public policies are impact on legislation. 82 00:10:43,770 --> 00:10:50,160 The maps appears here as ambivalent Tools criticises for the unequivocal consulship 83 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:55,950 association of the Maintainance of colonial and patriarchal relations of power. 84 00:10:55,950 --> 00:11:06,240 But at the same time appropriated for process of resistance. Also, feminist mappers develop a sophisticated concept to our reflection, 85 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:16,360 associating violations of the female vote territory to feminicide understood as the culmination of the same structural gender violence. 86 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:25,780 It's also worth noting the strong association with artistic, aesthetic and performative dynamics in the production and dissemination of maps, 87 00:11:25,780 --> 00:11:33,580 revisiting the artistic dimension removed from cartography in the name of scientific objectivity. 88 00:11:33,580 --> 00:11:40,220 Still, in this sense, they're growing the body, emotions, affectivity and memories to the centre of the culture, 89 00:11:40,220 --> 00:11:45,900 graphic debate, dementia's, deep disquiet disqualified by. 90 00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:49,270 By Mother Colonia, cartographic host, 91 00:11:49,270 --> 00:11:59,830 cartographic convention historically excluded other repertoire of narratives and spatial experience that did not fit into rational and. 92 00:11:59,830 --> 00:12:11,540 Besides, they allow that intertwining of narratives of personal and collective memories, highlighting the social character, awful personal memory. 93 00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:16,460 There's maps also makes sense in the dispute for the deconstruction of the Germanic 94 00:12:16,460 --> 00:12:23,090 narratives and subjectivities with the public space as the centre of its diffusion, 95 00:12:23,090 --> 00:12:32,960 seeking to influence the formation of a new social imaginary which behaves andinet denaturalised as violence against female bodies. 96 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:40,810 For this reason, not only the map itself is valid as a final product, but mainly its production process. 97 00:12:40,810 --> 00:12:47,240 The process of producing maps through collectives also function as a symbolic process of constituting 98 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:54,380 themselves as a political subject and as an element of political action and mobilisation. 99 00:12:54,380 --> 00:13:05,660 Also, networks and collective data production are fundamental to compensate for official status in insufficiency on gender based violence. 100 00:13:05,660 --> 00:13:15,860 This situation has been also denounced by researchers. We investigate domestic violence and racism in human space. 101 00:13:15,860 --> 00:13:26,990 Finally, although women in the members operate outside the state and despite and against the state, they also have strategies to fight with the state. 102 00:13:26,990 --> 00:13:33,860 On one hand, they denounced the state for its negligence and core responsibility for crimes against women's lives. 103 00:13:33,860 --> 00:13:45,710 On the other hand, they talked. They tried to influence legislation and public policies through the mapping processes. 104 00:13:45,710 --> 00:13:54,530 In conclusion, the feminist cartographers make it possible to expand our way of conceiving cartography concerning its actors, 105 00:13:54,530 --> 00:13:59,990 languages, processes, strategies and uses both with this. 106 00:13:59,990 --> 00:14:09,590 They also influence our way of conceiving space in the terms proposed by massing as the possibility of great system of multiplicity. 107 00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:18,560 It remains to be seen the scope of these cartographic in a context in which what is at stake is not only the control of territory and bodies, 108 00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:22,420 but our special notion spatial notions, 109 00:14:22,420 --> 00:14:30,950 limited and natural allies through widely disseminated technique of quanta graphics systems increasingly control. 110 00:14:30,950 --> 00:14:35,310 Thank you very much. Thank you, Manuela. 111 00:14:35,310 --> 00:14:40,920 Absolutely terrific stuff. So. 112 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:56,130 I have a question for you. My question is, how have women been able to influence policy makers with their mops? 113 00:14:56,130 --> 00:15:08,030 I so as you could see, I'm not really fluent in English, so I tried to answer you the best way I can. 114 00:15:08,030 --> 00:15:27,620 Well, I think in and in one way, by and by diffusing this this data that is not publicised by by the state and also by bringing new new information, 115 00:15:27,620 --> 00:15:31,130 because the state that official data is unsure. They are not. 116 00:15:31,130 --> 00:15:33,350 They are incomplete, actually. 117 00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:47,240 So when the feminist collectives, when they work together, they they produce new data about family size and about all gender based violence. 118 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:59,540 So in this way, by bringing new information, by diffusing them in for the public, it was remarkable, 119 00:15:59,540 --> 00:16:08,450 for example, that in the quarter when they produced this feminicide map, people printed the map. 120 00:16:08,450 --> 00:16:16,580 A lot of women printed a map and brought it to to a demonstration and in district against feminicide. 121 00:16:16,580 --> 00:16:31,480 So it was remarkable how this map, the map language had to say. 122 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:39,130 Have more impact. As if it were just a graphic, for example. 123 00:16:39,130 --> 00:16:45,260 And that was also a concern for the collective, for the collective. 124 00:16:45,260 --> 00:17:00,490 If you've got a fear because they or I could say we we insisted in the in the design of the map not only to bring to put the information in the map, 125 00:17:00,490 --> 00:17:05,440 but also the design of the map. 126 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:23,980 And also, I think by proposing or like we did with the manifest against violence, gender violence, by proposing new forms of. 127 00:17:23,980 --> 00:17:35,620 No firms two of managing this, there's this violence by denouncing and also by proposing. 128 00:17:35,620 --> 00:17:43,157 Thank you. That's a really good answer.
