Simultaneously, cartography received new considerable interest as it merged with social media platforms. In an attempt to rearticulate the relationship between media and mapping practices, whilst also addressing new and social media, this interdisciplinary book abides by one relatively clear point: space is a media product. The overall focus of this book is accordingly not so much on the role of new technologies and social networks as it is on how media and mapping practices expand the very notion of cultural engagement, political activism, popular protest and social participation.Media and Mapping Practices in the Middle East and North Africa Media studiesbicsscSocial issues & processesbicsscCartography, map-making & projectionsbicsscMedia, Space, Knowledge, Middle East, North AfricaMedia studiesSocial issues & processesCartography, map-making & projectionsStrohmaier Alenaedt906892Krewani AngelaedtStrohmaier AlenaothKrewani AngelaothBOOK9910476885203321Media and Mapping Practices in the Middle East and North Africa3036993UNINA
