Beyond Mapping: Seizing Affective Geographies in Toronto

Abstract

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.
