My three end years articles

 As well as creating maps and datavisualisations, I sometimes write scientific articles. And the last few months have been very productive, as I've completed and submitted three texts for publication! 1. The call Spatially and in all directions: methodologies, sensitive methods and geography of scientific journal Norois focused on the various issues involved in sens orial geography. With the late arrival of the ‘sensitive turn’, the call for papers noted the development of a geography of emotions, structured under the label of ‘sens orial geography’. The emergence of this new term led to question th is notion, both in terms of objectivity and scientifi city of the produced knowledge. My personal practice of sensorial cartography makes sensorial geography a logical field to explore the place of ‘emotions’ and their ‘subjectivity’. The relationship between the geographical field and the researcher's position seemed essential to me, leading me to engage in an epistemologic...

Mes trois articles de fin d’année 2024

Parallèlement à ma création de cartes et data visualisations, il m’arrive aussi de rédiger des articles scientifiques. Et ces derniers mois n’ont pas été improductifs, puisque j’ai terminé et soumis à publication trois textes ! 1. L’appel Spatialement et dans tous sens : méthodologies, méthodes sensibles et géographie de la revue Norois se concentrait sur les différentes problématiques liées à la géographie sensible. À partir de l’arrivée tardive du «  sensitive turn  » en géographie, l’appel à texte constatait le développement d’une géographie des émotions, se structurant au travers du label de « géographie sensible ». L’émergence de cette nouvelle appellation conduisait les auteur·ices à questionner la notion, tant pour l’objectivité et à la scientificité des savoirs produits, que pour la « définition » de ce champ d’études et des conséquences que cette dernière impose sur la « manière de faire la recherche » en géographie. Proche par ma pratique de la cartographie sensible,...

Writing the article ‘In Nouméa, “new” urban festivals and sensorial cartography’

Giving an account of the redaction of a scientific article is unusual. Generally speaking, little is known about the context in which it was written; only the published text remains, and becomes the sole object of reference for all readers. Personally, I would certainly never have chosen to quickly describe the process of writing ‘In Nouméa, ‘new’ urban festivals and sensorial mapping ’ , but to me it carried a strong emotional weight, its ‘own’ little story, which went far beyond the simple final ‘result’. But first, a bit of background: on 22nd August 2024, the website Visionscarto published my article ‘ In Nouméa, “ new ” urban festivals and sensorial mapping ’ , in which I was coming back to my sensorial cartography workshop organised during the ‘ Noumean Youth Identity Day ’ (NYID) on 26 August 2023 and took the opportunity to analyse this urban festival, developing and presenting the French notion of ‘new festivals’. But originally, this article never aimed to developp t...

Écrire l’article « À Nouméa, “nouvelles” fêtes urbaines et cartographie sensible »

Faire l’historique de la rédaction d’un article scientifique n’est en rien commun. Généralement, on ne sait que peu de choses sur le contexte d’écriture ; seul le texte publié reste, et devient l’unique objet de référence de l’ensemble des lectaires. Personnellement, je n’aurais très certainement jamais choisi de rapidement décrire le processus de rédaction de «  À Nouméa, “ nouvelle s” fêtes urbaines et cartographie sensible   », mais il comportait pour moi une forte charge émotionnelle, sa « propre » petite histoire, qui dépassait de loin le simple « résultat » final. Rappelons d’abord quelques éléments : le 22 août 2024, Visionscarto publiait en ligne mon article «  À Nouméa, “ nouvelle s” fêtes urbaines et cartographie sensible   », dans lequel je revenais sur mon atelier de cartographie sensible organisé lors de la «  Journée de l’Identité de la Jeunesse Nouméenne   » (JIJN) le 26 août 2023. J’en profitais de même pour analyser cette fête urbaine, développant e...

Website update - V2

After several days of work, I've finally finished the second big update of my website! The French and English versions of my website are now completely updated and available online. I've completely rewritten and reorganized the home page; instead of a short general description without images, you'll now find a general presentation of my entire career. This was my old “About” section, which I've completely re worked . The “My Work” section now features 3 new maps . Made for Joseph Bohbot , they illustrated two of his articles on the geopolitics of gold in Kenya, published in the magazines L'Afrique Contemporaine and L'Espace Politique . You can find them here . 3 new sections have also been added: - Awards and publications - Works available in open source - Designs & Art s Awards and publications presents all published awards, publications, maps, dataviz and infographics. In addition to their title, the newspaper (or website) in which they ...

Launching my Blog !

After several days of reflection and construction, I'm pleased to announce the launch of my blog! I hesitated a lot before setting it up. Cartodataviz is starting to be well implemented online; adding a new format could be counter-productive. But I realized that  I'm still constrained by the various obligations of the social network, and I was missing a place where I could easily group and reference the main information I wanted to share, hence its opening. The various posts will be posted irregularly, depending on my availability, the subjects and my free time. Above all, I'll be posting news, updates on my site or projects, and so on. Posts will be published in English and French. Depending on the subject, a translation will be available directly in the body of the text. Otherwise, two different articles will be published in their respective languages. Feel free to follow it, or follow me on my social networks ! -------- Lancement de mon blog ! Après plusieurs ...
