Congress that aims at creating a space for dialogue between researchers and to address new challenges in the field of GIScience analysis and representation of historical data-sets.
Time in Space
Geohistorical Applications, Methods and Theories in GIScience
This event is organised by the Universtià di Pisa, Universidade de Brasilia, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa and the University of Lancaster is open to researchers interested in the field of GIS application in the humanities. Between June 26th to 28th 2019 we will discuss and examine new ways and methods to represent and analyse time in the GISciences. Scholars from any discipline are invited to join us to share their experiences and case studies with a wide multidisciplinary community of researchers engaged in the main topics of the conference. Speakers should submit an abstract to the scientific committee for evaluation. As the official language of the conference is English, submission and presentation should be of the same language. Conference proceedings will be published as a special volume by spring 2020.
Some of the most significant obstacles in GIScience are the description, explanation and visualization of time. Cartographic representation of transformation, evolution and historical changes have always been a challenging and stimulating task for cartographers, researchers and scientists.
However, in the last three decades, revolutionary possibilities have been introduced by innovative digital tools that have offered to a large group of scholars – from a vast disciplinary range – the opportunity to explore new empirical solutions and applications for the spatial analysis and cartographic representation of time. Although technological advances have transformed the way we think, talk, and the tools we use, there has been a lack of critical and epistemological debate on the techniques, methods and theories for the representation of time within the GISciences.
We feel that there is a need for an interdisciplinary exchange concerning the main issues related to GIS applications in the study of historical processes.
Our aim is to join the scattered experiences conducted on multiple scientific fields in a collective dialogue. The objective is to share ideas and insights amongst researchers involved in the analysis and representation of changes by means of new digital cartographic technologies. It is by means of exchange that we aim to promote a wider awareness of the significant role and impact that these issues have for us and our research.
