Once you start looking<br \/>\n  for attributes, you spot them everywhere.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And there are also a few sweet moments of <i>meta-<\/i>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A map is a piece of art. It is also a form of language&#8211;a rendering of<br \/>\n  information. A good map can occupy the eye and the mind longer than almost any<br \/>\n  other single page of data, including Scripture, poetry, sheet music, and<br \/>\n  baseball box scores. A map contains multitudes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the rest of it if any of this sounds good. I stole a few minutes this<br \/>\nmorning to do just that, and I was glad for it.&nbsp; Next, in GEO781 we looked<br \/>\nat Moretti&#8217;s chapter on maps.&nbsp; I wasn&#8217;t sure what to expect, but everyone<br \/>\nwas really taken by his project (even the physical geographers in the group!).&nbsp;<br \/>\nWe tangled with wide range of issues related to place-name stability, databases<br \/>\nand automation of mapping textual data, transmedia and fictional maps (re <i><br \/>\nLord of the Rings<\/i>, mainly), and Moretti&#8217;s distinction between geography<br \/>\n(locative logics) and geometry (relational\/directional logics).&nbsp; One<br \/>\nquestion got at whether <i>Graphs, Maps, Trees<\/i> is being thought over by<br \/>\nfolks beyond the humanities. And one of the most salient suggestions was for the<br \/>\nbook to be reviewed for a geography journal toward broader and<br \/>\ncross-disciplinary conversations\/projects emerging from his work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>The upcoming issue of The New Yorker includes an article first released yesterday to the magazine&#8217;s web site.&nbsp; &quot;Getting There: The science of driving directions,&quot; offers a sharp-right overview of evolving navigational technologies, running from Rand McNally paper maps to their updated on-dash equivalents.&nbsp; A brief history of automobile navigation gets a few column inches,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[166],"tags":[331,423,558,233,426,330,561,559,560],"class_list":["post-6545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spatialitiespatiality","tag-cartography","tag-database","tag-directions","tag-geography","tag-location","tag-maps","tag-moretti","tag-navigation","tag-roads"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
