ABSTRACT This article presents a quantitative analysis of fictional maps and their relation to historic maps from different periods. Fictional maps are maps of imaginary territories. This type of map is now common in fiction, but they arose relatively late, in the second half of the nineteenth century, and are considered an independent branch of cartography today. They stand out through the way they are published because they are component parts of books and not independent cartographic works, and therefore their creators are not cartographers but rather the authors of these books. Fictional maps are mostly subordinate to the story, but they serve to give a sense of historical authenticity and draw the reader into the story. Without networks of coordinates and with labels such as ‘the end of the world’, they are spatially indeterminate, but they establish a connection between the fictional landscape and its identity. This study deals with 89 fictional maps from recent children’s and young adult literature. First we present a historical overview of these works and fictional maps, and then a cartographic analysis of fictional maps. We examined seventy-seven books with fictional maps and evaluated the maps according to five groups of standard cartographic elements: natural elements, built elements, toponyms, mathematical elements, and explanatory elements. We discuss the differences between cartographic representation of fictional maps and historic maps, and build a cartographic model based on the frequency of cartographic elements to put fictional maps into historic and geographical contexts.

重绘虚构世界:虚构地图的比较重建

摘要本文介绍了虚构地图的定量分析及其与不同时期历史地图的关系。虚构地图是虚构领土的地图。这种类型的地图现在在小说中很常见,但是它们出现的时间相对较晚,在19世纪下半叶,如今已被认为是地图学的一个独立分支。它们在出版过程中脱颖而出,因为它们是书籍的组成部分,而不是独立的制图作品,因此,其创建者不是制图师,而是这些书的作者。虚构的地图大多是从属于故事的,但它们可以使人联想到历史真实性,并吸引读者进入故事。没有坐标网络,没有“世界尽头”之类的标签,它们在空间上是不确定的,但它们在虚构的景观与其身份之间建立了联系。这项研究处理了来自最近儿童和年轻成人文学作品的89张虚构地图。首先,我们对这些作品和虚构地图进行历史概述,然后对虚构地图进行制图分析。我们用虚构地图检查了77本书,并根据五种标准制图要素对地图进行了评估:自然要素,建筑要素,地名,数学要素和解释性要素。我们讨论了虚构地图的制图表达与历史地图之间的差异,并基于制图要素的频率建立了制图模型,以将虚构地图放入历史和地理环境中。这项研究处理了来自最近儿童和年轻成人文学作品的89张虚构地图。首先,我们对这些作品和虚构地图进行历史概述,然后对虚构地图进行制图分析。我们用虚构地图检查了77本书,并根据五种标准制图要素对地图进行了评估:自然要素,建筑要素,地名,数学要素和解释性要素。我们讨论了虚构地图的制图表达与历史地图之间的差异,并基于制图要素的频率建立了制图模型,以将虚构地图放入历史和地理环境中。这项研究处理了来自最近儿童和年轻成人文学作品的89张虚构地图。首先,我们对这些作品和虚构地图进行历史概述,然后对虚构地图进行制图分析。我们用虚构地图检查了77本书,并根据五种标准制图要素对地图进行了评估:自然要素,建筑要素,地名,数学要素和解释性要素。我们讨论了虚构地图的制图表达与历史地图之间的差异,并基于制图要素的频率建立了制图模型,以将虚构地图放入历史和地理环境中。然后对虚构地图进行制图分析。我们用虚构地图检查了77本书,并根据五种标准制图要素对地图进行了评估:自然要素,建筑要素,地名,数学要素和解释性要素。我们讨论了虚构地图的制图表达与历史地图之间的差异,并基于制图要素的频率建立了制图模型,以将虚构地图放入历史和地理环境中。然后对虚构地图进行制图分析。我们用虚构地图检查了77本书,并根据五种标准制图要素对地图进行了评估:自然要素,建筑要素,地名,数学要素和解释性要素。我们讨论了虚构地图的制图表达与历史地图之间的差异,并基于制图要素的频率建立了制图模型,以将虚构地图放入历史和地理环境中。
