In this article, I use a recent research creation project and its mobile component (the TiP lab) to emphasize the importance of regarding the city as an entanglement of sometimes evident, sometimes hidden naturecultural geographies and more-than-human encounters. While official narratives are not interested in narrating such vibrant multidimensionality, traditional cartographic practices do not seem to be able to seize them. In exploring ways to illuminate such complexity, I interrogate the ability of contemporary mapping devices to capture, and valorize, the vectors through which the human and the nonhuman, people and infrastructures shape the urban landscapes in which they live and through which they pass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
