The map is both a particularly powerful representation tool and a political device that closely articulates knowledge and power (Latour 1985, Harley 2002, Lévy et al. 2004). The sensitive issue of the definition and the location of boundaries is of course at stake (Leuenberger and Schnell 2010; Ben-David 2010), as well as the detection of spatial socio-political phenomena, such as criminality (Beaude 2009, Wallace 2009).
