Landscape Ledgers

A new reading of environmental conflicts through Environmental Impact Assessment records for extraction infrastructure in Chile 1993-2022.

My research analyses different forms of spatial representation inside Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs). Cartographies, remote sensing imaging, modeling exercises, and their misreadings, can contribute to how extraction infrastructure projects are communicated and contested by communities before construction, adding to new ways of relating to the environment, such as citizen baselining and citizen monitoring of environmental impacts triggered by these projects. Visual Cultures Scholarship.
