Beschreibung
"The edited volume Territorial Imaginings contends that conventional mapping practices are inadequate to illustrate the complex and multi-faceted reality of territory and political sovereignty both past and present. What we understand to be modern mapping, the volume argues, developed to represent a Westphalian order of sovereign states that never was and still is not sufficient to capture the many varieties of territorial and political arrangements globally. Volume editor Kèaren Wigen has assembled an impressive slate of contributors who speak to this overarching contention through a variety of scholarly approaches and case studies, covering many geographical regions and time periods. The essays encompass three main themes: mapping practices before the nation state, ways to rethink or critique mapping practices, and robust traditions of counter-cartography. Like Wigen's last volume, Time in Maps, this book features a striking array of maps and other images, and will be printed with color throughout"--
