Inland Journeys, Native Maps
Reading maps that are drawn according to conventions other than western scientific cartography usually involves translation of the foreign map signs into familiar equivalents. Eighteenth-century cartographers followed this procedure when they added Native "information" to their maps of North America, blurring the line between European surveys and Amerindian reports, anticipating the replacement of this dubious knowledge as civilization penetrated…
Images of Power: Derrida/Foucault/Harley
In his last essays J.B. Harley called for "an alternative epistemology, rooted in social theory rather than in scientific positivism" and looked for this theory in the work of Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida. Far from applying the French writers' radical rethinking of the relationship of sign and referent to cartography, Harley accepted without question the orthodox definition of maps as images of the world. He was content to add a sociopolit…
Amerindian maps: The explorer as translator
David Thompson (1770-1857)
David Thompson's cartographic achievement is still one of Canada's best-kept secrets, even though the maps of this patient and determined surveyor were the first accurate and complete representations of the country. That Thompson's work should have been ignored so long and so completely would appear to be due to the circumstances of its first reception - circumstances intimately bound up withepolitics and the fortunes of the fur trade in the earl…
