A standard atlas, however, predominantly tells only one story, that of the nation-state. It depicts a world in which people are uniformly packed into national containers, enclosed by borders, and in which migration is often represented as threatening invasion arrows. Free the Map goes beyond this narrow, state-centric cartography. The book argues for a new cartographic story: a Hermes - the grandson of Atlas and the god of mobility and human connections. To this end, it discusses several visually compelling, alternative cartographic representations of borders and migration. Free the Map ends with a call to action. Various artists and cartographers offer exciting ready-to-use Hermes challenges for education and public Maplabs. Let's free the map from its territorial trap!"-- Wie lassen sich mit Landkarten andere, menschliche Geschichten von Grenze und Migration erzählen? Mit Beiträgen von Gestalter:innen wie Tofe Al-Obaidi, Catalogtree oder Annelys de Vet. Kartografie - Karten - Mapping - Visualisierung. |
