que te puedo decir

yo:siempre te e dicho de que estaré siempre a tu lado,pero nunca me crees.

Por que cuando te digo algo siempre me ignoras.

Cadas vez es lo mismo,nunca me escuchas.

Si conoces una persona a si para que le hablas? si lo que esta haciendo esa persona es ignorarte

Next Steps / Applications

The ultimate goal of our digital project mapping Spenser’s Faerie Queene is that it should be used as a digital tool to further scholarly study of this great epic of British literature, especially questions concerning the connections regarding place, imperialism, colonialism, globalization, and Early Modern Britain.

Future plans include mapping out many more locations—actual, allegorical, and speculative—that are presented or imagined in the story, and we recognize the need to add more location labels to refine our categories and to account for locations that do not fit into such a constricted categorization (for instance, passing references to actual locations that are excerpted from the history of Britain).

We also recognize that allegorical and speculative locations often cannot be mapped with any reasonable certainty; therefore, we would need some signifier(s) to demonstrate that these locations may be completely unmappable or that they may essentially be placed in several hypothetical locations that cannot be adequately mapped with any conclusiveness.

We would also like to enhance our digital map of locations by adding another layer whereby characters within the story would be placed on the map according to their association with the locations and then linked with other characters based on their relationships and corresponding storylines. We would also tag characters with keywords to determine possible connections that would lend themselves to the creation of digital scholarship.

Theoretical Implications

The theoretical implications of this project are vast. We continue to ask ourselves questions that lead to new lines of inquiry. For example, what are the problems associated with mapping an allegorical space? With what degree of certainty can be argue that certain places that Spenser creates in The Faerie Queene actually refer to real locations? What does it mean when Spenser includes the names of real locations in relation to his allegorical world? How can we trace the impact of imperialism through places, especially in light of actual imperialist maps? What is the relationship between place, character, and imperialism?

In addition to raising questions, we sought to engage theories of place and colonialism in our map, especially in the speculative locations. We built upon existing scholarship as well as formed our own scholarly opinions about the possible meanings of the places and events in The Faerie Queene. In this sense, we were performing very traditional literary scholarship: close reading a text and engaging the text in a scholarly reading. We then translated this reading to the digital and interactive map.
