ALT More-than-Human Cartographies: animals as map-makers and the mapping of animal worlds Hannah Fair (University of Oxford) Ekaterina Gladkova (Northumbria University) Animal geography has long concerned itself with understanding both ‘animal spaces’ and ‘beastly places’ (Philo and Wilbert 2000), investigating animals’ own topologies of urban space and other terrains (Barua and Sinha 2019). This session grapples with the role and use of maps and mapping within this work. It considers cartography as a system of surveillance, power and control, as well as its more emancipatory potentials. It examines both the mapping of animals, and animals as map-makers and cartographic collaborators, and collective interspecies endeavours to render nonhuman territories visible. It also extends beyond the animal to consider other vital agencies and their relationships to maps and mapping.
