In this collection of essays J. B. Harley (1932-1991) draws on ideas in art history, literature, philosophy, and the study of visual culture to subvert the traditional, "positivist" model of cartography, replacing it with one that is grounded in an iconological and semiotic theory of the nature of maps. He defines a map as a "social construction" and argues that maps are not simple representations of reality but exert profound influences upon the way space is conceptualized and organized. A central theme is the way in which power-whether military, political, religious, or economic-becomes inscribed on the land through cartography. In this new reading of maps and map making, Harley undertakes a surprising journey into the nature of the social and political unconscious.

A map is a social construction. There are casual arrows that flow in both directions. 最討厭的就是這種貨色。將各種理論牽強附會,硬套在研究對象上。濫用抽象的定義方式,濫用比喻。畢竟是上世紀末的產物。
評分比較代錶性地體現瞭80-90年代地理學學者對於地圖史的文化反思。從藝術史到解構,從新馬到文本解讀,時尚的方法都被哈雷老師用到地圖的解讀當中去瞭。值得讀,也值得注意:地圖史還是應該有著“地圖”的曆史的。
評分花一個番茄刷完瞭intro 大概知道瞭這位是關於地圖諸多基本觀點的鼻祖……剩下的估計這學期沒時間瞭。等暑假去LRBS

評分可以理解80-90年代對context的重視,也認同他在這個論文集裏的批判態度,不過還是提醒自己寫論文時要避免過度批判而有失偏頗
