Cartography I: Mapping deeply, mapping the past
Published online on July 21, 2016
Abstract
This report examines current developments in geohumanities and work on so-called ‘deep maps’, as well as considering work building on artistic practice and literary mapping traditions. I discuss developments in the history of cartography and consider the value of old maps in relation to the interests of human geographers and wider notions of popular geography. More engagement with these areas of mapping practice could help bridge the long-standing disconnect between much of contemporary human geography and more mainstream cartographic research.
