Více o knize
Exploring the interplay between maps and meaning, the book asserts that maps actively shape our understanding of reality rather than simply reflecting it. By examining various mappings—from historical cartography to cultural and political representations—Geoff King critiques the arbitrary distinctions between map and territory. He highlights significant historical contexts, such as colonialism and the Cold War, advocating for a deconstruction of dominant mappings to enable the reimagining of societal frameworks and the creation of alternative perspectives.
