In the case of the EU’s external border, cartography is in fact used both as a practice for the control and government of mobility as well as a tool for advocating, facilitating and even embodying, border crossing. This paper engages a series of border mapping examples showing how cartography works on the ground for both the world of migration management and the struggles for free movement. By focusing on the role that maps and mapping practices play within the politics of migration - the contentious field of actions and relations which determines who can move and in what condition – we point to an on-going “clash of cartographies” in the current flurry of charting borders and flows: while some maps operate at the service of the current border regime, other maps aim at counter governmental practices of control. Examining such tensions between cartographies, and the practices they entail, aids in undermining a fixed understanding and a closed spatial coding of borders. info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 0.851 2017 Geography, Planning and Development 2017 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Cobarrubias Baglietto, Sebastian (orcid)0000-0003-0337-8271 Heller, Charles Pezzani, Lorenzo 16, 1 (2017), 1-33 ACME 1492-9732 1020429 http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/149154/files/texto_completo.pdf Versión publicada 722699 http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/149154/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon icon Versión publicada https://acme-journal.org/index.php/acme/article/view/1094 Texto completo de la revista oai:zaguan.unizar.es:149154 articulos driver 2025-10-17-14:19:55 ARTICLE
