including citizens, are responsible, and inhabitation, which society implements.
The relations between maps and politics are multiple. In this chapter, the themes of geopolitical propaganda, spatial ideologies, electoral geography, urban planning and citizen democracy show the multiplicity of the subject. In all cases, they raise the question of the specific role of the cartographer, whether they are a technician or a researcher. They must define their own place as a producer of knowledge without taking the place of citizens. This distinction in turn opens up a debate common to all on the ethics of knowledge and communication. The cartographer is not only someone through whom information passes, they are also the one who produces and disseminates it, which places on their shoulders, a responsibility commensurate with the questions and answers of which the act of drawing a map is an integral part. The cartographer’s contribution may sometimes seem modest, but it should never be underestimated because it is a part of the long chain of production, interpretation and action, of which the map is an increasingly present link.
While reinforcing the specificity and richness of its language, cartography has become established in the political scene and now plays a major role in the emergence and dynamics of its issues. A new, more open and more demanding age is therefore upon us.
