About the course
Aim
- To apply basic terminology of map analysis and map construction.
- To critically assess the relation between data and visualisation in map construction.
- To identify alternative interpretations of a map.
- To articulate social and political implications of maps and map construction.
Content
The course provides an introduction to maps and mapmaking. Students will explore the role of symbols, legitimation, and interpretation in the analysis of maps. A central theme is how both map making and map construction is embedded in and influenced by historical, cultural, and political contexts.
