I don&#8217;t want to exaggerate the gape between<br \/>\nphysical geography and social or human geography, but as these sub-disciplinary<br \/>\norientations go, so goes the willingness\/reluctance to regard maps as<br \/>\nrepresentational and also rhetorical rather than as empirical or somehow<br \/>\ndata-rigid. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>To the question above, one response (generally) goes: Yes, of course.<br \/>\nThe map is a symbolic system often consisting of various graphical and<br \/>\nlinguistic elements, some of which are substantiated by hard data more than<br \/>\nothers. The beer map combines sign systems: to-scale physical forms<br \/>\n(roadways, shoreline), iconic markers (to indicate brewery and pub locations),<br \/>\nand toponyms or place-names. Although Google Maps mash-ups involve a<br \/>\ncommon cartographic back-drop or base (the tile images don&#8217;t change often), the<br \/>\noverlays define the maps thematically. In the case of the breweries map,<br \/>\nit might be helpful to introduce a scheme for differentiating map types. A<br \/>\nthematic map is not merely interpretive, nor is the physical (material) map tidy<br \/>\nin its permanence. We can find many examples of their felicitous<br \/>\ncombination&#8211;blended maps that work together to present multiple data-sets.<\/p>\n<p>The negative responses to the question&#8211;if I can merge them, fell<br \/>\nswoop&#8211;identify the factual nature of the physical forms with a kind of primacy.<br \/>\nThe <i>real<\/i> places, their demonstrable physicality, offer us proof.<br \/>\nThe data are reliable, can be validated, and are more likely to be accurate than<br \/>\nuser-placed markers indicating brew pubs. The physical forms, as<br \/>\nrepresented, are authoritative, in this sense, despite our knowledge that<br \/>\nlandforms shift over long periods of time, shorelines and other unstable grounds<br \/>\nare subject to accretion and avulsion, and the planet itself is fluid-like,<br \/>\ntaking into account the oceans and the magma.<\/p>\n<p>This is only a teaser, and I know that my vocabulary for engaging the<br \/>\nquestion is lacking much of the nuance it would have if I spent more time<br \/>\nstudying geography. Still I&#8217;m intrigued by some of the tensions I pick up<br \/>\non, particularly as we read articles about cybercartography as remediation,<br \/>\nintroducing problems and opportunities for the well-guarded post of the<br \/>\ncartographer as one who draws and labels paper maps.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Just one more bit from class: Because I&#8217;m in back-to-back<br \/>\nseminars on Tuesdays, I find somewhat difficult to keep the geography<br \/>\nconversations fresh and to return to them later. The second class ends up<br \/>\nbumping out all of the short-term goods from the first half of the day.<br \/>\nWhat remains mixes in with the comp theory conversations&#8230;result: confusion (heh,<br \/>\nit&#8217;s generative confusion, nonetheless). We read two articles from<br \/>\n<i>Political Mapping of Cyberspace<\/i> (2003); one on authenticity and authentication<br \/>\nand the other on confession, <i>parrhesia<\/i> and communities. The<br \/>\nauthenticity\/authentication article reminded me of<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.identity20.com\/media\/OSCON2005\/\">Dick Hardt&#8217;s OSCON Keynote,<br \/>\nIdentity 2.0<\/a>. The chapter connects a related set of issues with<br \/>\nFoucault&#8217;s technologies of the self (84), &quot;regimes of normalization&quot; (84), and<br \/>\nself-writing (91). It also lead us to a line of conversation about<br \/>\nself-identifying in weblogs (v. much related to<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/insidehighered.com\/views\/2006\/02\/20\/rice\">Jeff&#8217;s piece from a<br \/>\nweek ago<\/a>), including traditions of spoof scholarship, such as <i><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jir.com\/home.html\">The Journal of Irreproducible Results<\/a><\/i>;<br \/>\nthe falsification of co-authors, as in a colleague of our prof who published an<br \/>\narticle with a fictive co-author dubbed &quot;Roscoe Gort;&quot; and other variations of<br \/>\n&quot;academic fraud&quot; (like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.physics.nyu.edu\/faculty\/sokal\/\"><br \/>\nSokal &quot;Social Text&quot; happening<\/a>).
