Cartographic representations are not merely instruments for navigation; rather, they are multifaceted media constructs that redefine space and place, shape perceptions, and serve as both the product and the producer of power structures.This book undertakes an analysis of cartography at the intersection of media studies, communication studies, and geography, examining historical developments and theoretical taxonomies, with a particular focus on the role of critical and post-critical cartography. The present volume employs a neopragmatist approach to encourage critical reflection as well as practical application and usefulness, thereby promoting a more profound comprehension of maps as intricate media constructs.The book is intended for students and researchers seeking to explore cartography from an interdisciplinary vantage point.

摘要

Cartographic representations are not merely instruments for navigation; rather, they are multifaceted media constructs that redefine space and place, shape perceptions, and serve as both the product and the producer of power structures.This book undertakes an analysis of cartography at the intersection of media studies, communication studies, and geography, examining historical developments and theoretical taxonomies, with a particular focus on the role of critical and post-critical cartography. The present volume employs a neopragmatist approach to encourage critical reflection as well as practical application and usefulness, thereby promoting a more profound comprehension of maps as intricate media constructs.The book is intended for students and researchers seeking to explore cartography from an interdisciplinary vantage point.
