Object-Oriented Cartography provides an innovative perspective on
the changing nature of maps and cartographic study. Through a
renewed theoretical reading of contemporary cartography, this book
acknowledges the shifted interest from cartographic representation
to mapping practice and proposes an alternative consideration of
the 'thingness' of maps. Rather than asking how maps map onto
reality, it explores the possibilities of a speculative-realist map
theory by bringing cartographic objects to the foreground. Through
a pragmatic perspective, this book focuses on both digital and
nondigital maps and establishes an unprecedented dialogue between
the field of map studies and object-oriented ontology. This
dialogue is carried out through a series of reflections and case
studies involving aesthetics and technology, ethnography and image
theory, and narrative and photography. Proposing methods to further
develop this kind of cartographic research, this book will be
invaluable reading for researchers and graduate students in the
fields of Cartography and Geohumanities.
