I’m not giving this away today! But:
- representational (probably)
- spatial (usually)
- instrumental
- argumentative (always, even when it’s invisible)
- legible under culturally-specific conditions
- Double Vision
- maps as cultural objects (i.e., primary sources)
- maps as tools for arguing (i.e., methods)
- History of Maps, but also
- Maps for History
- Medieval Maps
- Origins of Cartography (esp, in science & medicine)
- Maps and Empire
- Maps, Race, and Nation
- Knowledge and Power
- Oppression and Resistance
- Meaning and Representation
- This is not a technical course! But:
- need to be willing to try
- Technical elements of assignments will be relatively easy, well-explained, and accessible
- But the more technically-adept you are, the better you wil lbe at your craft
There are lots
- 1 straight-up short paper
- 1 mixed paper/map modification
- 1 Pass/Fail technical assignment
- Big final project & presentation
- show up (obvs)
- participate actively!
- paragraphs
- No? Then I’ll see you on Thursday!
