Hi all, 

Apologies for cross-posting. 

Should anyone on the list be interested in contributing to the Livingmaps Review, an interdisciplinary journal about maps and critical cartography aimed at academics, artists and activists, we are now taking submissions for the autumn issue. I edit the ‘navigations’ section of the journal and would very much welcome submissions from those on the list considering the varying expertise on show. Please do get in touch if you’re interested in discussing a proposal. 

Here’s some further information about the scope of the journal: 

Livingmaps review promotes critical cartography as a form of citizen social science, blurring the distinction between professional and amateur mapmakers. It supports and reports on initiatives in participative and community mapping. It welcomes collaboration between artists, academics and activists.

Livingmaps Review is international in scope, and encourages contributions in English from anywhere in the world. The approach is interdisciplinary, encouraging contributions from geographers, historians, archeologists, ethnographers, sociologists, environmentalists, psychologists, visual artists, designers, writers and computer scientists. Livingmaps Review welcomes contributions which develop a dialogue between disciplines around specific cartographical projects. 

Our editorial policy is to avoid academic jargon and to encourage imaginative presentation which experiments with images and text. 

Livingmaps Review encourages work by unpublished contributers.

The content will be divided into five sections:

- Navigations - full length articles with full critical apparatus

- Waypoints - shorter pieces on work in progress

- Mapworks - a gallery of maps, historical and contemporary, with interpretative commentary or dialogue

- Lines of Desire: short fiction, poetry and autobiography, interviews with theorists and practitioners, annotated performance walks and photography

- Reviews: reviews of books, exhibitions and events

Kind regards,

Mike Duggan
