If I were to ask you to close your eyes and recall your favourite place, where would you travel behind closed eyes? What are the associated images, memories, emotions and sentiments that your mind’s journey evokes? If you live in the totality of the experience that this exercise has created, you begin to understand the meaning of a place. According to the geographer and researcher Sébastien Caquard, “A place is a location comprising both the material and the immaterial. The material comprising the landscape, geographical location and the topological characteristics, and immaterial comprising the human dimension of emotions, memories, reminiscences and recollections.”

Is this the first animated map ever ? At least it is one of the first ones. It was created for a 1918 docudrama entitled Among the Cannibal Isles of the South Pacific (Martin E. Johnson, 1918). An animated black line traces the journey of director Martin Johnson and his wife Osa from the New Hebrides Islands to the Solomon Islands in the South pacific.

Est-ce la première carte animée ? Vraisemblablement une des toutes premières. Elle a été créée pour un « docudrama » de 1918 intitulé Among the Cannibal Isles of the South Pacific (Martin E. Johnson, 1918). Une ligne noire animée représente le voyage du réalisateur Martin Johnson et de sa femme Osa depuis les Nouvelles Hébrides jusqu’aux îles Salomon dans le Pacifique Sud.

Abstract
The goal of this second report is to review how social media are changing the way we collectively map the world. To reach this goal I review different collective mapping practices that characterize the social media era. First I examine the situation of community mapping in the context of new cartographic processes and technologies, with a focus on indigenous cartographies. I then review the use of volunteers in the production and representation of geospatial knowledge, with an emphasis on crisis mapping. Finally, I discuss how map-making in the social media era reflects major trends in terms of power relationships that occur between the state, its citizens and the private sector. These trends reveal the replacement of the state as the main reference for the collection and dissemination of cartographic data, by a combination of private interest and individually volunteered contributions. Just as the specific interests of the nation state have largely helped to shape the reality produced by paper maps throughout the centuries, this new convergence of interests is now helping to shape the reality produced by digital maps through geosocial media.
