Compost of Ptolemy
A blog for students in Meg Roland's Lit 379: Early Modern Literature class, Fall term 2008 at Marylhurst University, Portland, Oregon. The course title is Brave New World: Literature, Cartography, and Printing. Our study of the literature of the period will be informed by two concurrent cultural developments: the development of print culture and the development of cartographic representations of geography—a new print practice intimately connected with exploration and colonization.

Afternoon,
I wonder how mapping such a word would look. And since all maps are the creation of an independent soul then would not all of these maps look different? How to agree on the immovable definition of the word itself when the visual properties of the word are epistemological in nature? Could by unpacking the spatial characteristics of the word in relation to its surrounding place it in a context that is more apt to be explored visually?
Best,
Thomas
