3433 Mapping 'Between Two Worlds': Interactions
Thursday, 4/19/07, from 1:00 PM - 2:40 PM
Description:
Scholars working on societies which were non-literate before the
arrival of Europeans have questioned whether paper maps drawn soon
after contact were wholly or partially derivative of the European
tradition of map making.This session seeks papers that explore the
knowledge systems underlying oral mapping traditions and how these
knowledge systems and their maps interacted with European conceptions
of mapping.
