Více o knize
Exploring the intricate relationship between maps and reality, the book delves into how maps actively shape our understanding of the world rather than simply reflecting it. It critiques traditional distinctions between map and territory, drawing on historical examples from cartography to cultural and national mappings. The author advocates for reexamining these constructs, particularly in the context of colonialism, the Cold War, and post-Soviet dynamics, encouraging a deconstruction of dominant narratives to allow for new interpretations and representations.
