Introduction: Mapping cultural intangibles

Cultural mapping: addressing the challenge of more participative and pluralist cultural policies and planning

“… e breadth of this experimentation serves as a rich ground for advancing research methodologies and theories. New methodological approaches are being invented, many innovating "new 'mash-ups' of approaches to research, analysis, documentation, interpretation, and communication to multiple publics" (LONGLEY;DUXBURY, 2016, p. 6; see also RADOVIĆ, 2016). Such experimental methods of inquiry are leading the emerging eld to rethink the relationship between culture and mapping "away from the literal and geographic, towards inquiries into alternative representations of human-place relations and the ideas we use to mark and navigate" (DUXBURY; SAPER, 2015).…”

“…Going 'back to basics' , cultural mapping can provide a clear organizing structure to hold together hybrid modes of information, and thus holds great potential as a bridging methodology for interdisciplinary projects.  e map itself can embed spatial and chronological information, description, narrative, sound, moving and still images, quantitative and qualitative data through a visual interface that carries aff ective and stylistic qualities as well as 'basic' information (LONGLEY;DUXBURY, 2016).  e processes through which many cultural maps are created are community-engaged and participative and are sensitive to multiple ways of knowing, experiencing, and articulating the pluralist cultural meanings of speci c places.…”

Development status of the digitization of intangible cultural heritages

“…非遗文化绘图涉及对文化的理 解以及文化与社会生活的关系, 不仅包括地理信息, 还包括其他文化资源和通过其他技术记录的文化 信息. 文献 [8] 研究非遗文化绘图工作, 认为使非遗的无形维度与地方意义融合对传统文化绘图提出 了重大挑战, 建议可以在跨学科研究基础上提出不同对策来解决这一问题, 例如合并地理和艺术学科, 以定性或定量的分析方法解决问题 [8] .…”

Introduction

“…When linking these visions to our theme, diverse forms of participatory research emerge. This is the case of Participatory Action-Research (PAR) methods, like community-based research (Steyaert, 2011;Gilchrist et al, 2015) or collective cultural mapping methodologies (Duxbury et al, 2014;Longley and Duxbury, 2016), which focus on context-dependent and collective decision-making, acting and evaluating practices. PAR has been described by Gabarrón and Landa (2006) as a methodological and ideological alternative based on practices of full participation and networking, characterized by their potentials to decolonize and transform.…”
