Résumé en anglais

In this article, the author will argue that development of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta nomination dossier involved collaborations between multiple actors, involved the recognition of indigenous knowledge systems, and resulted in the co-creation of hybrid mapping representations. This empirical research examines data sources like World Heritagedossiers and state/UNESCO correspondence letters held at the UNESCO World Heritage Centre archives in Paris,France and cultural site dossiers archived at the International Council on Memorials and Sites (ICOMOS) in Charenton-le-Pont, France. Actor-network theory informs this research and will act as a heuristic tool for collection, organizing, and analyzing the archival documents. A framework calledpostcolonial centers of calculation will be introduced to untangle technoscientific processes associated with World Heritage nomination documents. A case study of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta nomination dossier reveals historical cycles of accumulation geographic information around Uluru-Kata Tjuta, a strong network of indigenous and state collaborations, and the creation of hybrid geographic representations. The discussion and conclusion section relate this research to sustainability science and indigenous geographies, and suggest future research directions.
