• 01 02 Mapping Cultures is a collection of essays exploring the diverse practices and cultures of mapping on the one hand, and the mapping of different forms of cultural practice on the other. The book draws on a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, including critical cartography, social anthropology, film and cultural studies, literary studies, art and visual culture, marketing, architecture, and popular music studies. Underpinning the theoretical and methodological approaches of all the contributions is a close engagement with mapping both as a mode of cultural and spatial analysis, and as a point of critical intersection in which ideas and practices of cartography are challenged, re-envisioned and brought into play with a broad range of theoretical perspectives. The collection is loosely organized around three main thematic sections: the cartographic textualities of space, landscape and place; mappings of performance and urban memoryscapes; and the practical, aesthetic and performative cartographies of critical spatial enquiry. 02 02 An interdisciplinary collection exploring the practices and cultures of mapping in the arts, humanities and social sciences. It features contributions from scholars in critical cartography, social anthropology, film and cultural studies, literary studies, art and visual culture, marketing, museum studies, architecture, and popular music studies. 31 02 An interdisciplinary collection exploring the practices and cultures of mapping in the arts, humanities and social sciences 19 02 The first interdisciplinary collection to focus explicitly on mapping and cartography in relation to cultural texts and practices Includes a wide range of disciplinary perspectives including; cultural studies, the visual arts, social anthropology, geography, marketing, performance studies, popular music and literary studies An important addition to the current literature addressing the 'spatial turn' in Humanities and Social Sciences, which provides a clear indicator of an increasing recognition of the importance of spatiality to understandings of everyday forms of social and cultural practice Prompts a theoretical re-evaluation of the role of maps and mapping practices in cultures of place and space, representing a timely and critically-incisive exploration into an emergent and largely uncharted field of cultural research and practice 04 02 Acknowledgements Mapping Cultures – a Spatial Anthropology; L.Roberts PART I: PLACE/TEXT/TOPOGRAPHY Critical Literary Cartography: Text, Maps and a Coleridge Notebook; D.Cooper Mapping Rohmer: Cinematic Cartography in Post-war Paris; R.Misek Cinematic Cartography: Projecting Place Through Film; L.Roberts Walking, Witnessing, Mapping: An Interview with Iain Sinclair; D.Cooper & L.Roberts Maps, Memories and Manchester: the Cartographic Imagination of the Hidden Networks of the Hydraulic City; M.Dodge & C.Perkins PART II: PERFORMANCE/MEMORY/LOCATION Urban Musicscapes: Mapping Music-making in Liverpool; S.Cohen Mapping the Soundscapes of Popular Music Heritage; P.Long & J.Collins Walking Through Time: Use of Locative Media to Explore Historical Maps; C.Speed Salford 7/ District Six.
