Special Issue: The Cartographic Journal
The Cartographic Journal 'Cartographies of Fictional Worlds', Volume 48, Number 4, November 2011
»This special issue of the Cartographic Journal on 'Cartographies of Fictional Worlds' is made up of fascinating stories, exotic places, original concepts, and a series of media that ranges from artistic collages to high tech geospatial applications. This diversity demonstrates the enthusiasm that prevails within literary cartography, as well as the complex relationships that exist between maps, narratives and places.«
»These examples provide a conceptual, methodological and practical base that can serve to engage in the development of original and relevant ways of merging the conceptual space of the map with the experiential places of the narratives.«
