Dear community! I've been appreciatively reading this ml over the last couple of month. Now I really hope that you can help me out on the following issue. I'm looking for a specific social anthropological article (or literature in general) that covers three topics at once "geodata", "crowdmapping" and "participatory (politics)". My main concern: How does (big) geodata and the (crowd) mapping of it -- e.g. by combining geodata with other kinds of (big) data -- change civic engagement? Things like this http://www.theguardian.com/news/blog/2011/apr/07/ushahidi-crowdmap-kenya-vio...... The focus of the article: Together with a colleague I will be holding a workshop to discuss ways in which numeric (geo-)data and ethnography can be joined within anthropological theory and methodology. Thus the focus of the article should be empirical (giving examples), but it should also try to theorize and conceptualize the relationsship of geodata and ethnography. I would really appreciate your shared expertise on this one. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks you so much! All the best, Daniel Kunzelmann P.S.: I do have another questions but I will split up the post... ---------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Kunzelmann, Ph.D.c Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich Institute of Cultural Studies/European Ethnology Email. daniel.kunzelmann@gmx.de Web. http://unibas.academia.edu/DanielKunzelmann Blog. http://www.transformations-blog.com/ Twitter. @der_kunzelmann ----------------------------------------------------------------
