With debates on critical cartography a canon of common map criticism, deconstruction and critical analyses of cartographic and mapping practice has developed since the 1990s. Simultaneously, diverse forms of critical mapping practice have emerged in science, art, educational work and political intervention. Moreover, since the 2000s, there has been a remarkable expansion of participatory cartographic production. Today, participatory apping is an integral part of both governmental and civil society initiatives in various contexts worldwide. However, there is usually no detailed elaboration and reflection of the specific mapping methods and means of design. Given the critical discussion of the concept of participation, this is especially problematic insofar as the "participation" promised by cartography runs the risk of being instrumentalised and becoming a mere branding tool. This is where this research project comes in, by taking up the criticism of the concept of participation and the common methods of participatory mapping and submitting them to a systematic analysis. In contrast to this criticism, a concept of participation based on debates about decoloniality and critical pedagogy is used here, drawing in particular on bell hooks engaged pedagogy. According to the concept of action research this approach conceives of mapping as a process of collective knowledge production. The aim of the project is to develop mapping methods and means of design in different empirical applications that correspond to the claim of a decolonial-critical collective cartography - engaged cartography. The project takes up demands to empirically investigate the new diversity of mapping contexts, styles and techniques by accompanying and analysing the methods and means of design of collective critical mapping in a multi-sited action research in activist, artistic and educational contexts in three empirical case studies, in Porto Alegre, Basel and Naples. In doing so, it contributes to discussions on methods of critical mapping as well as to debates on participatory research, artistic-creative methods, transformative education and decolonial knowledge production in geography. While previous research empirically tests and discusses single specific mapping methods and design tools, a systematic investigation of different methods and means of design of participatory and collective mapping is still outstanding. Closing this gap is the aim of the research project proposed here.

随着对批判性地图学的争论成为一种常见的地图批评，自20世纪90年代以来，对地图和地图实践的解构和批判性分析已经发展起来。与此同时，在科学、艺术、教育工作和政治干预中出现了各种形式的批判性绘图实践。此外，自2000年代以来，参与性制图工作显著扩大。今天，参与性评估已成为世界各地政府和民间社会各种举措的组成部分。但是，通常没有详细阐述和反映具体的映射方法和设计手段。鉴于对参与概念的批判性讨论，这一点尤其成问题，因为制图所承诺的“参与”有可能被工具化，成为一种纯粹的品牌工具。这就是本研究项目的用武之地，它接受了对参与概念和参与性绘图的常见方法的批评，并对其进行了系统的分析。与此相反，这种批评，参与的概念的基础上辩论的非殖民化和批判性教学法在这里使用，特别是在铃钩从事教学法。根据行动研究的概念，该方法将地图绘制视为一个集体知识生产的过程。该项目的目的是在不同的经验应用中开发绘图方法和设计手段，这些方法和手段对应于非殖民化批判集体制图-参与制图的主张。该项目采取了需求，以实证研究的映射上下文，风格和技术的新的多样性，伴随和分析的方法和手段，集体的关键映射的设计在多站点的行动研究活动家，艺术和教育背景下的三个实证案例研究，在波尔图阿莱格雷，巴塞尔和那不勒斯。在这样做的过程中，它有助于讨论关键绘图的方法，以及参与性研究，艺术创作方法，变革性教育和非殖民地地理知识生产的辩论。虽然以前的研究经验测试和讨论单一的具体映射方法和设计工具，不同的方法和手段的参与性和集体映射的设计系统的调查仍然是突出的。缩小这一差距是这里提出的研究项目的目的。
