A few months into the popular uprisings in the Middle East and
North Africa (MENA) region in 2009/10, the promises of social
media, including its ability to influence a participatory
governance model, grassroots civic engagement, new social dynamics,
inclusive societies and new opportunities for businesses and
entrepreneurs, became more evident than ever. 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.
