The (Aesth)Ethics of Publishing Geopolitical Maps
No full textThis chapter stems from a decade of ethnographic encounters between the editors of the Handbook of Cartographic Humanities and Laura Canali, designer of geopolitical maps for the popular magazine Limes: Italian Review of Geopolitics and map artist based in Rome. Drawing from a selection of excerpts from those recurring encounters, this conversation unfolds and reflects upon the complexities of the craft of making geopolitical/poetical cartography for different publics, from that of the magazine’s readers to the map/art exhibition’s audience. The idiosyncratic experience of this mapmaker shows how ethnography is a crucial way to investigate the public dimension of cartographic authorship as it is felt by the mapmaker, as well as the decisions, ethical interrogations and precariousness it always implies, particularly in the case of geopolitical maps
Introduction: Why Cartographic Humanities?
No full textThe humanities have been part of geographical knowledge and its expression for centuries,
finding in maps and cartographic imaginations useful and intimate companions to reflect
with, challenge and advance new spatial paradigms, methods and metaphors. After the more
recent rise of the ‘spatial turn’ in the arts and humanities and the proliferation of digital
technologies in several cultural domains, new research areas such as spatial digital humanities,
geohumanities, deep mapping and map art, to name a few, have shown that the engagements
of scholars and practitioners with cartography and mapping practices have expanded
further, becoming increasingly diverse and highly mutable. In parallel to the growing fascination
with cartography that arose within various humanistic fields, in the last 15 years, we
have witnessed the emergence of ‘map studies’ as a transversal research area that is strongly
affected by humanistic approaches and methodologies. This area intersects not only more
established traditions such as the history of cartography and critical cartography but also the
multifaceted realm of ‘cultural cartography’ (Cosgrove, 2008). The Routledge Handbook of
Cartographic Humanities is precisely designed to explore the intersection and convergence
between cultural map studies and the humanities, expressing multifaceted traditions and
inclinations coming from different disciplinary, geographical and cultural contexts

Mindscapes: Laura Riding's poetry and poetics /
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.Esta tese propõe uma leitura revisionista da poesia contemporânea através do exame do caso de um dos mais esquecidos escritores norte-americanos do século XX: Laura (Riding) Jackson (1901-1991). O objetivo é demonstrar que Riding não apenas possuía uma poética definida e singular, mas que ela permanece uma das instâncias mais extremas e paradoxais do modernismo anglo-americano, a ponto de Riding abandonar a escrita da poesia em 1938. Recorrendo a conceitos de "formação do cânone" bem como às noções de "discurso" e "função do autor", em Foucault, investigo a construção do cânone da poesia moderna anglo-americana, recuperando o contexto e as circunstâncias da ocultação de Riding. Enquanto cubro os "discursos" poéticos em circulação na primeira metade do século XX-o "imagismo" de Pound, a "dissociação da sensibilidade", "impersonalidade" e "tradição" de Eliot, a "unidade orgância" e "ambigüidade" da Nova Crítica-ofereço um panorama crítico de modernismos alternativos sendo articulados à época. Minha intenção é demonstrar que os poemas de Riding são expressões vigorosas de um escritor para quem "a mente pensando se torna a força ativa do poema", para usar a apta formulação de Charles Bernstein. Entre minhas descobertas sobre as várias e complexas razões que levaram à não-canonização de Riding estão a hegemonia da Nova Crítica, o exílio voluntário de Riding da cena literária (onde são feitas ou desfeitas as reputações), sua recusa em ser antologiada, bem como em ser explicada em termos críticos que não os dela. Todos esses fatores, mais a "dificuldade" de sua poesia, contribuíram para fazer de Riding "a maior poeta esquecida da poesia norte-americana", como escreveu Kenneth Rexroth. Ajudado pelos insights de dois importantes críticos de poesia norte-americana, Charles Bernstein e Marjorie Perloff, defendo que a "poesia da mente" de Riding-onde o que está em jogo é que o que pensamos ser a nossa realidade-representa uma mudança radical no paradigma da poética modernista: de uma poesia centrada na imagem para uma poesia centrada na linguagem. Focalizando a experiência consciente e o tempo duracional do pensamento presente em seus poemas, concluo que as "pensagens" de Riding têm o objetivo preciso de constatar um fato universal: enquanto seres humanos e pensantes, estamos numa condição permanente chamada linguagem

Heritage tourism: a case study of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Heritage Site at Pepin, Wisconsin
No full textPlan BMany things must be taken into consideration when developing a heritage tourism site. It can be a wonderful opportunity for the community involved to benefit economically and historically. Heritage tourism can keep alive the heritage and traditions of the communities past. When it is discovered that a heritage site exists, the first step is to consult with the community. A site will not succeed without the acceptance and assistance from the community involved. Once the interest is known, the development process can proceed. After determining that there is a heritage tourism site possibility in their area, a commumity must do research to determine the feasibility of the site, what will make it a success, and how to obtain that success. This study will examine a community with a heritage tourism site that has been successful in developing and maintaining it's site. By conducting this study, other communities seeking information for developing their site will have an example and tool to work with. The site chosen for this study is the Laura Ingalls Wilder site in Pepin, Wisconsin. The town is rich with it's heritage associated with Laura Ingalls Wilder. The development and success for this town will be documented through this study. Laura Ingails Wilder is a perfect choice for examining heritage tourism. The author of many American Pioneer books, she has become famous all over the world. In turn all places that she or her family members lived are or are becoming heritage tourism sites. There are older ones that have been in progress for some years, such as the one in Pepin, and there are ones that are being discovered through the popularity of new books written about Laura's family. These communities would benefi greatly from the information this study will produce. Without the bene-fit of this knowledge communities who are unaccustomed to tourism or the way the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites operate, may make terrible errors in development, tarnishing the site. This may also reflect badly on the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites. It is important for new Wilder sites to examine all information and know exactly what they are doing when developing the site. If all the Laura Ingalls Wilder sites can benefit from each other's knowledge and experience it will greatly increase the market for all sites. The more detailed and expansive the sites are about their knowledge and sites to see, the more people are going to want to travel to as many sites as possible, learning all they can about the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family. These sites not only attract Laura Ingalls Wilder fans but all people that are interested in the American Pioneer period of the United States history. This study will provide the knowledge for communities who are developing heritage tourism sites, especially those focusing on Laura Ingalls Wilder. This is a very important study for tourism and especially heritage tourism. When a heritage site is discovered communities run into the barrier of not having the experience and knowledge to develop the site properly. This study will analyze tourism in Pepin, Wisconsin to determine it's successfulness due to the fact that it is a Laura Ingalls Wilder heritage tourism site, and Wfit was developed in a way to provide tourists with a view of Laura Ingalls Wilder's past and the past of many Pioneer Americans. By studying this subject it will allow for many people to benefit. Tourist who are seeking the pleasure of the knowledge of the past, and communities who want to preserve their past and profit from tourism

Chromocartographies: An Ethnographic Approach to Colours in Laura Canali’s Geopolitical Maps
No full textMap colours can be approached in many different ways. The first part of the paper provides an extended review of the various, often intertwined perspectives that may be applied to the understanding of colours on maps (intellectual, practical, cognitive, semiotic, critical, aesthetic). The second part of the article adds an additional layer to this stratification of approaches, introducing an ethnographic approach to the practice of colouring maps. Accordingly, the second part briefly reports a fieldwork with the Italian map designer Laura Canali, who to date has made about 3,500 geopolitical maps for Limes, the leading magazine and an eminent opinion maker in Italy in the field of international relations
