In this second report, I discuss the role of newness in GIScience, drawing distinctions between ‘the new’, as a state of emergent technology and technical situation, and imminence, a state of happenings and becomings. I suggest that GIScience often reduces the two to each other – what is imminent is that which is new – with specific implications for the use of geospatial techniques and technologies in explicitly radical, critical, and anti-racist projects. To engage in this work means often to make do with what is available and accessible, with no less need for experimentation and innovation.

GIScience II：新颖性和紧迫性

在第二份报告中，我讨论了新事物在 GIScience 中的作用，区分了“新事物”（作为新兴技术和技术状况的一种状态）与“迫在眉睫”（一种发生和发生的状态）之间的区别。我建议 GIScience 经常将两者归结为彼此——即将发生的是新事物——对地理空间技术和技术在明确激进、批判和反种族主义的项目中的使用具有特定的影响。从事这项工作通常意味着利用可用和可访问的东西，同样需要实验和创新。
