“…As argued, for the (further) development of visual theory in the context of geomedia, qualitative approaches are especially profitable. Also, users' practices of digital mapping have been examined, particularly focusing on PGIS maps that have high potential as visual research tools (Collins, 2011;McKinnon, 2011;Lapenta, 2012;Pauwels, 2016) but also as practical applications. In this context, the notion of 'emplaced visuality' has helped in understanding why digital maps transcend the strictly visual to become an integrated part of the physical environment: one moves with those maps, and inside them, and experiences them physically (Farman, 2012;Pink & Hjorth, 2012).…”

“…Finally, against the background of increasingly widespread geomedia and augmented reality applications and their algorithmic configuration, Uricchio (2011; see also Lapenta, 2011Lapenta, , 2012Rubinstein & Sluis, 2013) declared the existence of a (visual) algorithmic turn and highlighted its implication for images using the examples of AR applications (e.g. Layar or Wikitude) and the geomedia application Photosynth.…”

“…The implementation of PGIS has intensified over the most recent decades in geography, social anthropology, participatory action research and visual sociology and other disciplines (Collins, 2011;Lapenta, 2012;McKinnon, 2011). PGIS have also been credited with high potential as tools of (direct) visualisation.…”

“…PGIS have also been credited with high potential as tools of (direct) visualisation. With their help, the social practices, personal identities, interactions and 'imagined' communities of the users, who create the maps, can be made visible and researched (Lapenta, 2012;Pauwels, 2016). At a local level, they can be used for knowledge production and decision-making (Collins, 2011), and they are deemed valuable tools in interdisciplinary and mixed-method research (McKinnon, 2011;Pauwels, 2016).…”

The integration of geolocative data and locative photography generates a new way of seeing: what is called 'emplaced visuality'. This article explores the features and the research advancements in the direction of the visual aspects of locative media and geomedia to expand on the understanding of what appears to be a new visual regime. To do this, the text explores the developments of locative media and geomedia to link them to a series of disciplinary 'turns' that bridge areas of interdisciplinary thought within the knowledge ecosystem: from the spatial and mobility turns to the (visual) algorithmic turn. The paper points to current research strands in the field as a way of grasping the visual regime emerging from adding location to imaging. Exploring these features assists in mapping the expanding field of geomedia and visuality while also opening more opportunities for further research.

“…Manovich () introduces a new method for the visualization of media, called “direct visualization.” Direct visualization comes from his earlier work on “meta‐media” (Manovich ; Lapenta ), in which a meta‐media object contains both the original media structure (e.g., an image of the city) and the computer program that allows the user to generate descriptions of this structure (e.g., new 3D navigable reconstructions of the city with images). Manovich () once defined visualization as a transformation of quantified data, which by itself is not visual, into a visual representation.…”

The popularity of geotagged social media has provided many research opportunities for geographers and GIScientists in the digital age. This article reviews innovative approaches to studying spatially linked social media, and applies lessons taken from qualitative GIS and geographic visualization to improve these approaches. I introduce the idea of "code clouds" as a potential technique for the qualitative geovisualization of spatial information. Code clouds can depict and visualize analytic codes, or codes identifying key ideas and themes, that are generated through digital qualitative research. Rather than transforming qualitative forms of data into categories or numbers, code clouds attempt to preserve and represent the context of data as a visualized outcome of qualitative analysis. I use examples from an exploratory case study of geotweets in King County, WA, to demonstrate how code clouds can be applied to the production of meanings through qualitative geovisualization.Les nuages conceptuels : la géovisualisation qualitative des géogazouillis À l'ère numérique, la popularité des médias sociaux géolocalisés ouvre la voie à de nombreuses possibilités de recherche pour les géographes et les spécialistes des SIG. Cet article passe en revue les nouvelles approches pour l'étude des médias sociaux fixés dans l'espace, puis tire des enseignements des SIG qualitatifs et de la visualisation géographique en vue d'améliorer ces approches. La notion de « nuage conceptuel » est dépeinte comme une technique pouvant servir à la géovisualisation qualitative de l'information spatiale. Les nuages conceptuels peuvent décrire et illustrer des codes analytiques ou des codes d'identification des idées et thèmes principaux qui se dégagent des études numériques privilégiant une approche qualitative. Plutôt que de transformer les bases de données qualitatives en des catégories ou des numéros, les nuages conceptuels tentent de préserver et de représenter le contexte de données en tant que résultat illustré à l'origine de l'analyse qualitative. Je m'appuie sur des exemples tirés d'une étude de cas exploratoire menée sur des géogazouillis dans le comté de King, État de Washington, afin de montrer de quelle manière les nuages conceptuels peuvent soutenir la production de significations à travers la géovisualisation qualitative.

This chapter deals with ethnographic methodologies used when studying digital media, social contexts, and cultural practices. The chapter starts with an introduction to ethnography and its challenges when going digital. It then provides an overview of the different approaches to digital ethnography depending on the object of study: (1) the ethnography of online communities, virtual worlds, and social media sites; (2) the connective ethnography proposal through online and offline field settings; and (3) the ethnography of everyday life and the issue of audiences and creative practices in digital media. Finally, we discuss methodological issues relating to how to conduct online ethnographic fieldwork, including participant observation, interviews, as well as digital tools for registering, analyzing, presenting data, and some ethical considerations.
