An ethnographic investigation into the dynamics between space and security in countries around the world
It is difficult to imagine two contexts as different as a soccer stadium and a panic room. ...Yet, they both demonstrate dynamics of the interplay between security and space. This book focuses on the infrastructures of security, considering locations as varied as public entertainment venues to border walls to blast-proof bedrooms.
Around the world, experts, organizations, and governments are managing societies in the name of security, while scholars and commentators are writing about surveillance, state violence, and new technologies. Yet in spite of the growing emphasis on security, few truly consider the spatial dimensions of security, and particularly how the relationship between space and security varies across cultures.
This volume explores spaces of security not only by attending to how security is produced by and in spaces, but also by emphasizing the ways in which it is constructed in the contemporary landscape. The book explores diverse contexts ranging from biometrics in India to counterterrorism in East Africa to border security in Argentina. The ethnographic studies demonstrate the power of a spatial lens to highlight aspects of security that otherwise remain hidden, while also adding clarity to an elusive and dangerous way of managing the world.
This note concerns an atlas of military maps dating from the middle of the seventeenth century. Almost certainly compiled in France, it came into the possession of the British Museum (now Library) in ...the early nineteenth century but seems never to have been described at length. Although manuscript military atlases are not rare, this one unusually includes maps of twenty-nine British and Irish towns and cities that seem to be scarcely known.

The Kis-Balaton Water Protection System (KBWPS) is a wetland restoration project of over 8000 ha in extent, established to protect the water quality of Hungary's Lake Balaton. The healthy survival of ...the wetland macro-vegetation is essential for processes of bio-filtration, thus regular vegetation surveys have been carried out since the project began, to monitor the macrophyte growth in correspondence with the re-flooding. This biomonitoring is now very sophisticated, using ortho-photographs and a GIS database. However, the processes of wetland survival and regeneration are not fully understood, nor are the timescales involved; but there does exist in Hungary much archive cartography, especially since the 1780s, as well as records of the water-levels of Lake Balaton and of wetland extent and condition, which could be of great value in managing the KBWPS. Archive maps contain much information about past environments and if viewed in a historical series, can depict environmental change and response in some detail. In the first part of our study we used the maps of the KBWPS area produced by the three Military Surveys of Austria-Hungary (1783-84, 1856-57, 1872-74) to quantify the changes in vegetation cover over the last two centuries. In the second part of our study, we produced a Digital Elevation Model of the area and applied overlays representing the range of values of water-level in the archive data: thus we produced a series of maps showing the extent of water-cover and its depth for each level. We compared these to our derived vegetation maps for the same periods and were thus able to make assumptions on the vegetation-cover of the past and how it changed.
La guerra civil española movilizó, entre 1936 y 1939, todos los recursos del país. Nada o casi nada quedó al margen de su desarrollo y la cartografía no fue una excepción. La dirección de los ...servicios cartográficos estuvo a cargo de los estados mayores, pero la producción cartográfica recayó en dos instituciones civiles: el Instituto Geográfico en el caso del ejército republicano y la Confederación Sindical Hidrográfica del Ebro para el franquista. En este artículo se explican la organización y las actividades cartográficas del servicio de cartografía de la Confederación Sindical Hidrográfica del Ebro durante
During the last years, a great effort of analysis and cataloging of the military maps, plans, sketch and panoramic views elaborated during the civil war has been carried out. With everything, still ...there are multiple questions for investigating. In this article, is analysed the cartographical training of the general Vicente Rojo, chief of the General Staff of the Republican Army, the relations between this general and the military cartography during the Spanish Civil War, and the military map collection of his personal archive, today preserved in the Archivo Histórico Nacional of Madrid. This map collection possesses a great cartographic and military value, because was used by the General Staff of the Republican Army during the period in that Rojo was at the head of the same one. And, also, in order that contains a series of unedited handwritten cartographic documents of great importance for to understand the development of some of the main bellicose operations of the Spanish Civil War
Un effort considérable d’analyse et catalogage de l’énorme quantité des cartes militaires, plans, croquis et vues panoramiques élaborés pendant la guerre civile espagnole s’est effectué les dernières années, mais il y a encore beaucoup de domaines pour examiner. Dans cet article, nous étudions la formation cartographique du général Vicente Rojo —le chef de l’État-major de l’Armée de Terre républicaine—, les relations de Rojo avec la cartographie pendant la guerre civile, et la cartographie militaire qui est contenue dans son archive personnel, qui est gardé dans l’Archivo Histórico Nacional de Madrid. Cette cartographie a une grande valeur cartographique et militaire parce qu’elle fut utilisée par l’État-major de l’Armée de Terre républicaine pendant la période que Rojo fut son chef, et parce qu’elle contient une série de documents cartographiques manuscrits inédits d’un grand intérêt pour comprendre le développement de quelques-unes des principales opérations de guerre
En los últimos años, se ha llevado a cabo un considerable esfuerzo de análisis y catalogación de la ingente cantidad de mapas militares, planos, croquis y vistas panorámicas realizados durante la Guerra Civil española, pero aún quedan múltiples aspectos por investigar. En este artículo, analizamos la formación cartográfica del general Vicente Rojo —el jefe del Estado Mayor del Ejército de Tierra republicano—, las relaciones de Rojo con la cartografía durante la Guerra Civil y la cartografía militar contenida en su archivo personal, que se custodia en el Archivo Histórico Nacional de Madrid. Dicha cartografía posee un gran valor cartográfico y militar, porque fue utilizada por el Estado Mayor del Ejército de Tierra republicano durante el período en que Rojo estuvo al frente del mismo, y porque contiene una serie de documentos cartográficos manuscritos inéditos de gran importancia para comprender el desarrollo de algunas de las operaciones bélicas principales
Al llarg dels últims anys, s’ha dut a terme un considerable esforç d’anàlisi i catalogació de la ingent quantitat de mapes militars, plànols, croquis i vistes panoràmiques realitzats durant la Guerra Civil espanyola, però encara resten múltiples aspectes per investigar. En aquest article, hi analitzem la formació cartogràfica del general Vicente Rojo —el cap de l’Estat Major de l’Exèrcit de Terra republicà—, les relacions de Rojo amb la cartografia durant la Guerra Civil i la cartografia militar continguda al seu arxiu personal, que es custodia a l’Archivo Histórico Nacional de Madrid. Aquesta cartografia posseeix un gran valor cartogràfic i militar, perquè va ser utilitzada per l’Estat Major de l’Exèrcit de Terra republicà durant el període en què Rojo va ser al seu capdavant, i perquè conté una sèrie de documents cartogràfics manuscrits inèdits de gran importància per comprendre el desenvolupament d’algunes de les operacions bèl·liques principals
The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Croatia started producing military topographic maps that differ from the inherited cartographic system in the projection, ellipsoid, and the manner of ...designating the grid, format, margin contents and scale system. Since the maps will be used for purposes other than the military ones, the paper looks back on essential characteristics in map production in the new accepted cartographic system.
Karte I. vojnog premjeravanja, koje je habsburški dvor vršio krajem 18. stoljeća, autentičan su i vrijedan izvor povijesnih podataka o razvoju i promjenama naših prostora. Ovaj članak opisuje prostor ...izmedju Slavonskog gorja i Ilove, s naglaskom na naselje Daruvar i prometni pravac Bosna – Stara Gradiška – Daruvar – Virovitica – Barcs (Barč). Pojedine lokacije su uspoređivane s današnjim stanjem
Este artículo examina la actividad de la Sección Cartográfica del Estado Mayor Central, que era la principal institución cartográfica del Ejército de Tierra, durante la Segunda República. Se discute ...la tesis de la supuesta parálisis de los servicios cartográficos sostenida por la historiografía franquista, se valora el alcance de la reforma de la cartografía militar llevada a término por las autoridades republicanas, y se presentan evidencias de la labor realizada entre 1931 y 1936. Dentro de esta labor se destaca el proyecto y las primeras realizaciones del Plano Director a escala 1:25.000, y la actividad de la Sección topográfica de la 1.ª División Orgánica radicada en Madrid
Ministarstvo obrane RH započelo je s izradom vojnih topografskih karata koje se u odnosu na naslijeđeni kartografski sustav razlikuju u projekciji, elipsoidu, načinu označavanja u pravokutnoj mreži, ...formatu prikaza, izvanokvirnom sadržaju i sustavu mjerila. Kako će se karte, osim za vojne, koristiti i u druge svrhe, u članku je dan osvrt na bitne karakteristike izrade karata u novoprihvaćenom kartografskom sustavu.
