ABSTRACT In the Sardinian artist’s Maria Lai’s works, Geografie and Geogafie Spaziali, she depicted the cosmic pathways of the Sardus Pater, using a cartographic representation of one of the island’s most popular legends. One of these works’ key features is the use of embroidery techniques learned from women of her village. She considers the Sardinian territory not only an object of representation but as an expressive medium of her work and a fertile space that generates new worlds. I argue that we can draw on Maria Lai’s work to conceive a particular form of deep mapping through which to explore the territory through its imaginative dimension. For the purpose of this article, I intend to describe how, inspired by Lai’s works, I built Emplaced Distance, a map of Cape Town through the Sardinian territory.

ABSTRACT Herbert Bayer (1900–1985) created the World Geo-Graphic Atlas (published in 1953) – an influential atlas that followed modernist design principles associated with the Bauhaus. This paper focuses on the modernist exhibition design concepts he refined in his work on this seminal atlas of the twentieth century. The Atlas stands out in its successful expansion of the predominant map-centric atlas framework that is augmented by modernist approaches to visualization. The central concept used in the Atlas, the extended field of vision from exhibit design and architecture, was central to its organization and presentation. The Atlas integrates topographic maps, concise textual narration, tables, pictograms, thematic maps, geovisualization, artwork that uses modernist graphic techniques, and approaches to support flexible reader engagement. This exemplary atlas – both then and now – communicates a broad diversity of geographic knowledge of regions and countries from around the world through graphical means.

The increasing prevalence of (open) geospatial data has amplified the demand for online tools to input, manage, and analyse data and generate cartographic outputs. WebGIS platforms are responding to this demand by delivering cost-effective, relatively easy to use compared to desktop GIS software, and increasingly sophisticated tools. The continued advancement of webGIS platforms highlights the necessary, but tricky, integration of these platforms into university curriculum. In this paper, we develop an evaluation framework for users to assess, compare, and benchmark the cartographic capabilities of four webGIS platforms–ArcGIS Online, Carto, Mapbox, and GIS Cloud–against standard GIS functionality. The webGIS platforms studied offer advanced data management and some spatial analysis capabilities, but in contrast, they have limited cartographic capabilities for creating static maps. Recognizing that platforms change, and change often, this study serves to benchmark the capabilities of webGIS platforms, while reflecting on the observed challenges to teaching neocartography tools.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to determine the informational resource of maps (two folios) of the Urmesstischblätter with reference to the legend (three editions). Visual analysis was used as the basis for acquiring information that could be gleaned from the legends, contents of the folios, marginalia and later map. The information gathered was grouped applying the geoinformational method. The informational resource of the folios was determined by identifying separate objects present on the map with reference to the legend (number of separations in the legend), taking into consideration the geometrical type of objects. In addition, the informational resource of a folio was also defined by the number of features of these objects that can be obtained (from the legend, cartographic content, marginalia, Messtischblätter) with reference to cartographic measurement levels.

ABSTRACT A map is not its territory. Taking a map too seriously may lead to pernicious reification: map and world are conflated. As one family of cases of such reification, I focus on maps exuding the omphalos syndrome, whereby a centred location on the map is taken to be the world navel of, for instance, an empire. I build on themes from my book When Maps Become the World, in which I analogize scientific theories to maps, and develop the tools of assumption archaeology and integration platforms. Here I argue that excavating assumptions helps fill cartographic silences, showing the limitations of perspectives often at war. Furthermore, integrating perspectives permits resisting imperial central or master images. A worthwhile future project would be a repository of world-navel maps, critically annotated with cultural context and imperial information. Mutual understanding may result from such an integration platform, perhaps implemented online or in a museum.
