ABSTRACT

At a time characterized by the pervasive presence of – and enthusiasm for – maps in everyday life, interest in the cartographic humanities is growing among map scholars who approach cartography through a cultural lens. A mobility and humanities approach helps us move beyond the factual consideration of maps as mobile navigational devices that are used to move from one location to another. By considering mobility as a dense, elastic concept and adopting a humanistic perspective, I delineate a set of map mobilities emerging from the existing literature. A movement as process section focuses on post-representational, practice-based and historical approaches to mapping practices; a movement as elusiveness section focuses on material, more-than-human, surficial appreciations of cartographic objects; a movement as reimagination section focuses on theoretical, literary and art-based approaches to cartographic concepts. This focus on map mobilities illuminates the multiple theoretical and methodological possibilities of a renewed humanistic perspective in map studies.

摘要

在一个以地图在日常生活中普遍存在和热情为特征的时代，通过文化视角研究制图学的地图学者对制图人文学科的兴趣与日俱增。移动性和人文学科的方法帮助我们超越了将地图作为用于从一个位置移动到另一个位置的移动导航设备的事实考虑。通过将流动性视为一个密集的、有弹性的概念并采用人文主义视角，我描绘了一组从现有文献中出现的地图流动性。作为过程的运动部分侧重于映射实践的后表征、基于实践和历史的方法；一种难以捉摸的运动部分侧重于对制图对象的物质的、超越人类的、表面的欣赏；作为重新想象的运动部分侧重于以理论、文学和艺术为基础的制图概念方法。这种对地图流动性的关注阐明了地图研究中更新的人文主义视角的多种理论和方法论可能性。
