ABSTRACT:As part of kollektiv orangotango+, we co-edited an international collection of activist, academic, and artistic “counter-mappings.” Because counter-mapping is historically closely connected with, and indebted to, anti-colonial struggles and decolonial politics, we hoped to locate our work within the wider debates about decolonial cartography and the decolonizing of the map. At the same time, preparing, producing, and distributing this publication posed a number of questions and problems. We use this short article as an opportunity to reflect on the editing, publication, and dissemination of This Is Not an Atlas, as well as to trace possible ways beyond the book for Not-an-Atlas as an ongoing project.RÉSUMÉ:Dans le cadre du kollektiv orangotango+, les auteurs ont coédité une collection internationale de « contrecartographies » activistes, universitaires et artistiques. La contrecartographie présentant un lien historique étroit avec les luttes anticoloniales et la politique décoloniale, dont elle est tributaire, les auteurs souhaitent inscrire leur travail dans des débats plus larges au sujet de la cartographie décoloniale et de la décolonisation cartographique. Dans le même temps, la préparation, la production et la distribution de cette publication ont soulevé quantité de questions et de problèmes. Le court article que proposent les auteurs est l’occasion de réfléchir à l’édition, à la publication et à la diffusion de This is Not an Atlas, ainsi que d’ouvrir la voie, au-delà de l’ouvrage, à un projet permanent Not an Atlas.
