The act of mapping is impossible, Solnit asserts, since “what we call places are stable locations with unstable converging forces.” Things are always changing; we all see the world differently. Solnit embraces this cartographic paradox, placing as much value on the act of engagement as on the accuracy of the rendering.
What is Geography?
This article from Meaghen Brown raises the question: What is Geography? How do we define places on the earth? With a point on a map? Or is it possible to expand our understanding of geography into a more global concept that includes writing the story of a place? Her essay lacks the content that I would like to use to support my own project, but our ideas coincide with one another.
It's good to know someone else out there is thinking along the same lines.
