The Art of Describing. Dutch Art in the Seventeenth Century

The future of visual anthropology: engaging the senses. by Pink, Sarah

The long superficial engagement of literary scholars with the cartographic lexicon (under the label of literary ‘spatial turn’) has led to a need for a ‘recartographization’ of the field. This tendency, however, still remains primarily embedded within analytical (‘cartography of literature’) or critical (‘critical literary cartography’) approaches, and fails to engage the recent development of post-representational rethinking of maps. Literary criticism, with its creative use of mapping words, and, above all, literary texts, with their involvement of practising maps, should be reconsidered as relevant sources for cartographic theorization and mapping research.

Theorizing maps with literature

Maps are often considered by tourism scholars as superimposed representations that reduce visitors to passive executors of pre-designed routes. Combining new post-representational perspectives in m...

‘Post-representational cartography’ is a term currently used to describe an emerging shift within map theorization. Yet some misunderstanding, confusion and ambiguity may arise when trying to grasp the meaning of the phrase ‘post-representational’ in recent literature. This conceptual article discusses varieties of ‘post-representational cartography’ and seeks to contribute to some semantic clarification by comparing these different, similar or distant conceptions with the broader, well-established debate on the ‘post-/more-than-/non-representational’ within cultural geography. The paper also briefly hints about possible further developments on a more extreme ‘non-representational cartography’. ‘Map studies’ belong to an emerging, highly heterogeneous and transdisciplinary arena. Thus, reflections on words and phraseologies which are glowingly circulated among scholars of different backgrounds appear to be of some aid in gaining a deeper awareness of the terminological ambiguity that every interdi...

Semantic ruminations on ‘post-representational cartography’

First developed during the 1990s, the transnational paradigm in the study of migration has been associated with the notions of displacement, deterritorialisation and frictionless-ness. In more recent times, there has been a growing tendency to spatially ground transnational studies by locating and emplacing transnational practices. The emergence of the so-called transnational urbanism has led to a prolific urban stream within transnational research. With respect to the growing diversity of Western societies, this literature has tended to emphasise the potentialities of the city as the location of lived diversity, sharing, dynamism, vibrancy and encounter, in contrast to the deficiencies of the nation , identified with formal politics, discourse and ideology, singular belonging, fixity and constraint. Against this narrative of the city/nation divide, this article draws attention to the alternative conceptualisations of the nation that have emerged in recent debates and have embraced local, material and agency-based, rather than discursively-oriented approaches to the nation. As well as the city/nation divide, a progressive idea of the nation as shared experiences is analysed within an urban performance project which involved young migrants in the city of Padua (Italy) during winter 2013. These performances are read from the particular perspective of the scale debate, suggesting that, through the performance of urban heritage sites, those migrants physically and emotionally locate themselves within the hosting nation . Finally, I discuss this scalar shift and I propose extrapolating the concept of the “urban unconscious” to the national level, thus suggesting a way to think about the nation as a frame of co-existence and not as an identity bond.
