Rezensionen

'The quality of the writing in an edited volume can vary, but the essays in this collection are consistently good. The editors state that the goal of cultural mapping is to make visible the local stories, rituals, relationships, practices, meanings, and memories that shape the spirit of place. In that way the authors are successful, and academics or cultural workers seeking to gain a deeper understanding of place should find these case studies useful.'- Phil Birge-Liberman, University of Connecticut, Social & Cultural Geography

'Duxbury, Garrett-Petts and MacLennan have edited a volume on the method of cultural mapping which
can be regarded as a central book for cultural policy research.' - Louise Ejgod Hansen, Aarhus University, The Nordic Journal of Cultural Policy

Taken as a whole, Cultural Mapping as Cultural Inquiry explores a variety of mapping practices and logics to inform and inspire cultural planning. Mapping emerges as at once epistemological and deeply ontological, a mode of representation and a set of claims. The contributors take seriously the concern that mapping may reinforce existing power relations and systematic oppression.
