项目摘要

In recent years, digital maps and data visualisations of feminicide -understood as gender-related violent deaths of women- have emerged across Latin America. Amongst these is a Google Map of feminicide in Uruguay (http://feminicidiouruguay.net), which I started as part of my feminist activism in 2015. Through the concept of feminicide, these digital objects convey specifically feminist knowledge and, as a methodology and a practice, they also examine and challenge power, reveal context, and mobilise affect and emotion to promote social and political change. In this sense, they can be understood as feminist data visualisations, aligned with feminist principles for data visualisation (D'Ignazio and Klein 2016).Feminist scholars have advocated methodologies that rehabilitate quantification (Oakley 1998), reclaim vision (Haraway 1991), re-envision Geographic Information Systems (GIS) (Kwan 2002; see also Nafus 2014; Verran 2011) and the re-purposing of digital cartography for inventive and engaged cultural and social research (Lury and Wakeford 2012; Lammes 2016). In light of this, mapping and measuring feminicide can be considered part of a feminist methodology of "measuring violence to end violence" (Walby and Towers 2017), or "making the dead count" (Tate 2007). Yet, despite the increased visibility of the issue of feminicide promoted by feminist activists, and some advances in public policy, feminicide is still "terrorizing women" in Latin America (Fregoso and Bejarano 2010), the "most violent region for women" (UNDP and UN Women 2017). The violence has so far not diminished, and the difficult questions about how wider and deeper transformations in public awareness, literacy and public attitudes can be achieved remain highly relevant.It is in this context that I wish to investigate -empirically and methodologically- the methodologies, forms and effects of digital cartographic practices in feminist activism and gender advocacy relating to feminicide; to situate this work in a wider field of digital cartography for advocacy (see Dorling and Fairbairn 1997; iconoclasistas 2016; Playful Mapping Collective 2016; Marres and Rogers 2008; Tactical Technology Collective [2013] 2017; Take Back The Tech n.d.); and to specify what is distinctive about feminist approaches to digital cartography. In this sense, this research will make a contribution to scholarship on activism around feminicide, feminist methodologies and practices, and digital cultures and digital cartography.Understanding methods as performative, as having a role in making reality and making a difference (Coleman and Ringrose 2013, 113), I propose a research methodology that is itself a form of activism insofar as my project investigates methods of issue advocacy in order to inform their development. This practice-led project aims to research feminist data visualisations both through field research of on-going advocacy practices, organisations and projects and through my ongoing practice as a feminist activist, drawing on my experience and my existing connections with other activists mapping and counting feminicide in Latin America to set up a series of learning activist encounters. There is a clear need to develop deeper and more sophisticated understandings about the effects and potentials of activists' methodologies and practices around feminicide. This project builds on my MA research, where I engaged with affect/emotion theories and feminist and new materialist approaches, to explore the affective practices and politics of feminist activists counting and mapping cases of feminicide in Ecuador, Mexico, Spain and Uruguay. The aim is to significantly expand the scope of my research in this area, and to deepen my empirical and conceptual engagement with digital cartography as an "engaged method."

近年来，数字地图和数据可视化的女性杀戮-被理解为与性别有关的暴力死亡的妇女-已经出现在整个拉丁美洲。其中有一张关于乌拉圭杀戮女性的谷歌地图（http：feminicidiouruguay.net），这是我在2015年开始的女权主义活动的一部分。通过女性杀戮的概念，这些数字对象传达了具体的女权主义知识，作为一种方法论和实践，它们还检查和挑战权力，揭示背景，并调动情感和情感来促进社会和政治变革。从这个意义上说，它们可以被理解为女权主义的数据可视化，与数据可视化的女权主义原则保持一致（D 'Ignazio和Klein 2016）。女权主义学者主张恢复量化的方法论（奥克利1998），收回愿景（Haraway 1991），重新构想地理信息系统（GIS）（Kwan 2002;另见Nafus 2014; Verran 2011）和数字制图的重新用途，用于创造性和参与文化和社会研究（Lury和Wakeford 2012; Lammes 2016）。有鉴于此，绘制和测量女性杀戮可以被认为是“测量暴力以结束暴力”（Walby和Towers 2017）或“死亡计数”（Tate 2007）的女权主义方法的一部分。然而，尽管女性主义活动家推动的杀戮女性问题越来越受关注，公共政策也取得了一些进展，但杀戮女性仍然在拉丁美洲“恐吓妇女”（Fregoso和Bejarano，2010年），“对妇女最暴力的地区”（开发署和联合国妇女署，2017年）。到目前为止，暴力行为并未减少，如何在公众意识、扫盲和公众态度方面实现更广泛和更深入的转变这一难题仍然非常重要，正是在这种情况下，我希望从经验和方法上调查数字制图在女权主义活动和与杀害妇女有关的性别宣传中的方法、形式和效果。在更广泛的数字制图领域推广这项工作以进行宣传（参见Dorling和Fairbairn 1997; iconoclasistas 2016; Playful Mapping Collective 2016; Marres和Rogers 2008; Tactical Technology Collective [2013] 2017; Take Back The Tech n.d.）;并具体说明女性主义者在数字制图方面的独特之处。从这个意义上说，这项研究将有助于学术界围绕杀害女性、女权主义方法和实践、数字文化和数字制图的行动主义。将方法理解为表演性的，在实现现实和创造差异方面发挥作用的方法（科尔曼和林罗斯，2013年，第113页），我提出了一种研究方法，它本身就是一种行动主义的形式，因为我的项目调查了问题宣传的方法，以告知他们的发展。这个以实践为主导的项目旨在通过对正在进行的宣传实践，组织和项目的实地研究以及我作为女权主义活动家的持续实践来研究女权主义数据可视化，利用我的经验以及我与其他活动家的现有联系，绘制和计算拉丁美洲的女性杀戮，以建立一系列学习活动家遭遇。显然有必要对活动家围绕杀害妇女问题的方法和做法的影响和潜力形成更深刻和更复杂的理解。这个项目建立在我的硕士研究，在那里我与影响/情感理论和女权主义者和新唯物主义的方法，探讨女权主义活动家的情感实践和政治计数和映射在厄瓜多尔，墨西哥，西班牙和乌拉圭的女性杀戮案件。其目的是显着扩大我在这一领域的研究范围，并加深我的经验和概念参与数字制图作为一种“参与的方法。"
