heritage

Community economy scholars are interested in performing and activating more-than-capitalist visions of economy. One of the ways they do this is through mapping. This chapter begins with an exploration of the use and value of maps and mapping in community economies research with links to heritage practice. It then examines two specific examples of community economies mapping across the Australia-Asia region.

This chapter explores two case studies that highlight the author's recent work co-designing frameworks and tools to preserve the heritage and knowledge of Mapuche community economies and livelihoods in Chile. While both case studies operate within a Mapuche framework, the approach and aims differ due to the distinct landscapes, biospheres and economic contexts where they are enacted.
