Propositional A/r/tography: An Analytical Protocol

Abstract

This article explores a/r/tography’s speculative and propositional potentials and returns to the a/r/tographic renderings to offer new approaches to a/r/tographic analyses. Propositional a/r/tography provokes ways to think with the renderings that can perform as analytical gateways for experimentation with further layered generative and iterative data creations consequentially. This protocol emerged from deep engagement in data creation processes in response to c/a/r/tographic fieldwork with young people in, on, with, and through the world heritage listed Gondwana Rainforest site in Southeast Queensland, Australia. As such, the propositional a/r/tographic analytical protocol was created as an emergent response to making, materialities, and mappings. It is anticipated that the analytical protocol be engaged as speculative propositions for thinking and experimentation with and through the a/r/tography renderings.
