This brief commentary responds to Tania Rossetto and Laura Lo Presti’s (2021) thought-provoking article ‘Reimagining the national map’ by offering three points for reflection. Firstly, it highlights the scholarly value of embracing their notion of the carto-sphere as a mode of enquiry into cartography, maps, and mapping practices. Secondly, it draws attention to the theoretical and empirical questions that arise when we embrace the plurality of cartographic knowledges. Thirdly, it raises some ethical considerations to think through if and when making this shift.

拥抱多元的 carto-sphere

这篇简短的评论通过提供三点反思来回应 Tania Rossetto 和 Laura Lo Presti (2021) 发人深省的文章“重新想象国家地图”。首先，它强调了将他们的carto-sphere概念作为对制图、地图和制图实践进行调查的一种模式的学术价值。其次，它提请注意在我们接受多种制图知识时出现的理论和经验问题。第三，它提出了一些伦理考虑，以考虑是否以及何时进行这种转变。
