Text of the page (random words):
lem child by aping the game and its counterfeit seriousness and playing up to irony and indignation by posturing themselves as extreme geography thinkers and practitioners against disciplined academic solemnity and reveling in ridicule and the ridiculous globehead participants exuded hyperradical postmodern attitudes at a time in the history of geographic thought when the bloom was new on the rose of the epoch of postmodern geographies from an entry on extreme geography by david j nemeth encyclopedia of geography 2010 that s also part of the context out of which the dynamic variables emerged after all that history back to new lines i feel like wilson continues to call for a cartography that is among many things experimental humane subjective dynamic compelling cinematic monstrous emerging from practice and engagement the problem is the examples are rather scarce and meh it s like having a space in the periodical table of elements where you know something should be but not being able to find it attention 95 this is where wilson s work on participatory and qualitative gis comes into the story i do think this area is central to ongoing developments in critical gis and mapping there is enthusiasm from all sorts of places many outside of academic geography and even academia for example i was just skimming an article that popped up on my research gate account nora morales salomon gonzalez map making mobilizing local knowledge and fostering collaboration published in ethnographic praxis in industry conference proceedings 2018 1 125 143 what the hell is ethnographic praxis in industry that s great whatever it is and the community geography effort mentioned above suggests the same enthusiasm synthesis what s missing from all of this is some synthesis of 20 years of work on engaged community geography participatory gis and mapping critical mapping and gis i don t want to be the old guy yelling we did that 20 years ago at the youngsters i think however it is the time that some kind of approachable synthesis eg not a lofty academic tome is overdue i m thinking new lines makes some leeway but maybe not enough the problem is that the diversity of ideas and work over the past 20 years is spread over many academic fields much of it outside of academia in ngos and other organizations full of smart people with cool projects i think community geography is the right place for this to happen its geography with a small g and not large g mapping and gis and spatial information is vital but not limiting it s about community engagement in a spatial context first using spatial methods when appropriate social justice 99 and the implicit rather than explicit the problem with the social justice focus of much of the academic writing on participatory gis and mapping and critical gis and mapping is that there are many practitioners potential partners collaborators etc who don t see themselves as motivated by social justice per se this could apply to a whole range of natural science citizen science and environmental applications many of these have social justice implications community engaged research that documents e coli in streams and figures out ways to reduce it has a general social justice impact but the heavy social theory front can discourage rather than encourage thus a need to talk about this field and what it does and how to do it in a synthesis in a way that does not immediately exclude participants there is a way for academics to do implicit theoretically sophisticated work that propels people to do cool stuff help and helping 105 and maybe not helping wilson s new lines particularly in the attention chapter is invested in the notion of pgis as helping this has been a component of participatory mapping and gis and community oriented geography from the beginning helping is of course fraught with political consequences thus a need to include guidance on how not to help as a strategy in any kind of coherent synthesis gardens 107 and not mapping time spent on facebook and google docs is in direct competition with time spent in the gardens one might add gis and mapping to that list of distracting technologies they are part of the attention economy but simultaneously distracting another tough problem for critical gis and mapping thus the need to include not mapping as a component of any coherent synthesis on contemporary academic cartography 114 wilson rapidly comes back to his thesis that arthur robinson s agenda defines modern cartography as this chapter draws to a close i don t see a coherent contemporary academic cartography anymore at least not like there was back when i wandered into the uw madison cart lab in the late 1990s cartography positions have been replaced by gis folks many of which are pretty damn technical or imbued in the quantitative tradition because of the pioneering work done by howard fischer discussed in new lines but some gis folks have gone more in a qualitative ppgis direction also human geographers environmental geographers physical geographers have picked up aspects of critical gis and mapping and it certainly has generated interest outside of geography maps and mapping along with critical perspectives are all over the place and nowhere in particular like any good practice based methodology should be i get the sense that wilson is tilting at a contemporary academic cartography that is largely gone it s diffused with some of the old behavioralists around but mostly not i worry that tilting against this particular windmill is not productive it s not there on what matt wants 114 a post robinsonian cartography mapping gis critical whatever approach that is subjective affective relational attention generating moving somehow emerging out of participatory mapping gis etc and critical geography and so on i ve said this before this can all be theorized like the missing element on the periodical table but i m not seeing enough progress towards actually finding it at least not examples i can behold heading into the home stretch indeed while arthur robinson s elements of cartography dominated mid to late 20th century thought regarding the map and provided the primary foundation for contemporary map design research i suggest the force of this thought simply does not take maps seriously enough he writes most maps are functional in that they are designed like a bridge or a house for a purpose this is hardly the full story and yet alan maceachren s how maps work in 1995 also does not greatly alter the imagination of the cartographer nor the register within which the cartographer may ask questions of their craft 136 i think the biggest problem with new lines is that it s beating a dead horse and that dead horse was being beaten a decade ago and 20 years ago cartography is dead thank god was published in 2003 and was pretty much a foregone conclusion back then this is not to say that the behavioral cognitive robinsonian tradition is dead it isn t and it produces research that is at least as interesting and useful as academic research in general i m reminded of a quote from dickens nicholas nickleby chapter 9 and in this place it may be as well to apprise the reader that miss fanny squeers was in her three and twentieth year if there be any one grace or loveliness inseparable from that particular period of life miss squeers may be presumed to have been possessed of it as there is no reason to suppose that she was a solitary exception to an universal rule slow maps 139 141 new lines unveils the slow maps concept as its most ambitious attempt at capturing a post robinsonian approach to mapping gis etc it does gather in many of the characteristics wilson has moved through in the prior pages this of course made me think of slow food careful selection of wholesome ingredients prepared with care and love and consumed in the company of loved ones who have managed to set aside the chaos of modern life this idea also has a whiff of nostalgia erwin raisz crouched over his drafting table drawing a million little marks that somehow captured the landforms of just about everywhere in the world or edes harrison and his bevy of artists and even myself putting hundreds of hours of work into my youthful map projects or the 1000 hours of production that went into making the making maps book in illustrator and indesign talk about fuckin slow maps why does nacis get picked on that bunch is really into slow maps these are cool obsessive people who generate slow maps on a regular basis slow is good because the focus is care and investment of time and effort and brain power but you can put a huge amount of time into constructing a map that is used to kill people or databases of mapped big data that target and exploit consumers thus i guess we need some kind of ethical check unlike the grace or loveliness of young women the age of fanny squeers there is no universal rule when it comes to the loveliness of slow maps what might map intervention look like that slows the process of map communication to directly counter map design research that seeks to speed up the process of map reading 139 this makes me think of the impact of the geographic visualization critique of communication model cartography that emerged at penn state and other places 20 some years ago inspired by scientific visualization eda and edward tufte the point was to map out complex data quantitative and qualitative and beyond those simplistic binaries the creation of such maps traditional or interactive was slow and laborious the engagement just as slow and laborious the whole effort was meant and was taken as a critique of robinsonian cartography and it caused sniffs of consternation among the few dozen academics who cared but that was 20 years ago i also think of all the artists who have engaged in work that involves maps and mapping this too is slow mapping i think and the crowdsourced mapping like open street map thousands of people building a global database bit by bit all in their spare time psychogeography and all the community mapping and gis over the last few decades i think slow mapping is and has been happening all along that s not to say that the robinsonian tradition is gone fragments of that tradition the results of testing and evaluating many components of maps and mapping have been selectively reviewed and those elements found to be useful have been incorporated in functioning systems like google maps an arcgis and contemporary textbooks like making maps for good or for bad the slow map intensifies and produces desire as maps of traces slow maps resist the temptation of a fast map neo robinsonian functionalism in order to foster different thought and action the map through such slow map experimentation becomes theory in the sense of a creative conceptualization 139 i think we need fast maps i don t want to sit and ponder google maps for too long when i m trying to figure out the fastest route to get to my daughter s synchronized swimming practice during columbus rush hour so no to a monoculture of slow maps or fast maps google maps can intensify and produce desire many people spend much time exploring the digital world including ground based images compiled together with a huge investment of time and effort in google maps google maps is corporate stuff i get it but it can still generate the kind of effect or affect that wilson desires to examine a piece of hand drawn cartography like raisz s landforms is to seemingly witness the movement of the cartographer s pen the force of their body against the manuscript these are the maps that compel our attention to attend to the movements of their lines amid the static 140 i think it is very important to look back at past maps and mapping traditions for inspiration this blog is about that as is the making maps book but it can t be uncritical nostalgia it shouldn t look at just about every map and mapping tradition in the last few decades as somehow deficient and old maps made by men like raisz or harrison or howard fisher closer to the mark it s not exactly make maps great again but it might wander in that direction maybe it s about making maps period and providing the kind of ideas and motivations that get more people making more interesting and impactful and creative maps any resource guide book article class talk or manifesto will be judged by its ability to inspire just that posted in uncategorized 2 comments boris artzybasheff s maps january 17 2019 by john krygier back when denis wood and i were planning the 3rd edition of making maps i stumbled upon a map of world tropical diseases boris artzybasheff created for life magazine world map of the major tropical diseases life magazine may 1 1944 high resolution version at the david rumsey map collection boris artzybasheff was born in 1899 in the ukranian city of kharkov his father was author mikhail artsybashev he emmigrated to the u s in 1919 artzybasheff created 219 covers for time magazine between 1942 and 1966 he was also a commercial graphic designer and worked for the u s department of state during and after ww2 he is best known for his grotesque and surrealistic graphic work source just google his name or see a gallery of his diverse work here the tropical diseases map is relatively conventional except for the 14 disease symbols artzybasheff crowded on the map if the point was to make those who peered at the two page spread feel uncomfortable the map hit its mark mapping conventions are so imposing that even the most distinctive and creative map maker bows to convention over creativity not quite so at least in this case with artzybasheff the symbols are a prime example of artzybasheff s style grotesque neo realism with a whif of the macabre one of the prime instances where a major graphic artist applied his aesthetic largely unimpeded to the cartographic arts artzybasheff s maps and other information graphics in the late 1930s and early 1940s artzybasheff began illustrating articles for fortune and other popular magazines usually with vividly drawn graphic renditions of maps or other informational diagrams in the september 1940 issue of fortune magazine for example artzybasheff provided a striking and colorful illustration for an article on how military pilots experience oxygen deficiencies and aeroembolism decompression sickness or temporary blackouts attributed to nitrogen bubbles that form in the spinal fluid when ascending rapidly to heights of 30 000 feet williams 2007 p 126 diagram left a pilot s blackout from selection of military pilots not every flyer is fit for combat fortune september 1940 p 81 in another he provided a clear and detailed map of china s main roads and rivers showing which areas were under japanese control and how chiang kai shek was dealing with the distribution of oil and other natural resources map china in japan fortune december 1940
