Final Session: War and Post-War Cartography, How DO They Fuse (Spatial) Discourses on War, Peace and In-Between

Visualisations are an important medium for shaping opinions and understandings of past or current developments while also creating specific understandings of space. This panel traces the roles and functions of visualisations in different peace and wartime settings. The contributors will look at how the media, scientists, politicians, artists and others create, use or interpret maps and visualisations to engage with different publics in peace and conflict contexts. We hope to examine not only strategies and decisions concerning the production and application of maps, but also the discourses which they fuse and the spaces they create.
