Decolonizing the Map: Cartography From Colony to Nation
Almost universally, newly independent states seek to affirm their independence and identity by making the production of new maps and atlases a top priority. For formerly colonized peoples, however, this process neither begins nor ends with independence, and it is rarely straightforward.
"John Stuart Mill, author of “On Liberty”, was a philosopher, economist, member of the Liberal Party, and the first MP to call for women’s suffrage. Here's his passport from our archives for #EYAUnique"
Extrait du plan scénographique de #Lyon, réalisé aux environs de 1548-1553 : ce plan, gravé et rehaussé à la gouache, est composé de 25 planches qui, une fois assemblées, mesurent 220 x 170 cm.
Conservé aux #ArchivesDeLyon (cote 2SAT 3), il est unique par bien des aspects : un seul exemplaire, commanditaire et destinataire inconnus, 4050 immeubles, 440 personnnages, tout un bestiaire...
The Atlas of Disease: Mapping Deadly Epidemics and Contagion From the Plague to the Zika Virus
Behind every disease is a story, a complex narrative woven of multiple threads, from the natural history of the disease, to the tale of its discovery and its place in history.
Comment penser historiquement l'#Atlantique du Nord-Ouest, et la conception qu'en avaient les marins (surtout des pêcheurs) qui, au XVIe siècle, le fréquentaient? Jack BOUCHARD propose d'en explorer les #cartes mentales dans ce très bel article:

Can any #histodon or #histodons#help me with finding some sources on battles during the #mexican#revolution , hopefully with #maps of each battlefield and the description of how the battles happened with specific troops?
Its so easy to find #historical information on other #history in the #1910s but surprisingly hard here.
I have an idea for 3D modelling and wish to see if its feasible.
"Using formal analysis, statistical methodology, and computer processing, we present the cartographic characteristics of each one and relate them to their historical context, updating the scarce information available until now."
Why YSK: It’s a really cool challenge where each day people post their map interpretations of the theme of the day (points, lines, etc. - see graphic). You can learn a lot and see cool and unexpected data. The challenge is happening on all social media platforms, but I’m specifically mentioning Mastodon for obvious...
I think there technically might be, but it would involve making an account at different Masto instances to pull your content to each individual instance.
You’d also miss out on most others creations if you try to connect your Lemmy account to mastodon, Lemmy doesn’t support hashtags. That’s vital for Masto use IMO.
From Masto it’s quite different, you can easily follow users and there’s services that allow admins to sub to hashtags from unfederated instances so you’d get a whole different visibility. I convinced mine to sub to #cartography and #maps so I get any post tagged with them, even if our instances are unconnected.
Could be worth the time to make a Masto account just for this, it’s for the full month you know. 🤓 The cartographer community seems a lot bigger on mastodon as well, they even have special interest cartographers like mastodon.social/.
I do wish they’d come to Lemmy though, this platform is much better for topic-focused posts and discussion. Mastodon is more like a social network with a lot of noise to signal.
Popular discussion of the harm caused by guns focuses on deaths, overlooking non-fatal injuries. But for every kid in the U.S. who dies from a shooting, 2 more are treated for bodily harm.
On such a site media and leaders would be people using visuals, like #maps & #conceptmaps to show where kids and families need help, along with all the different types of help that are needed, over-and-over for many years?
NEW #publication
La ciudad y el territorio en los mapas: sobre la historia de una diferenciación espacial, in: Documents d'Anàlisi Geogràfica 69, 3 (2023), 481-500, DOI: https://doi.org/10.5565/rev/dag.850
The article deals with the history of a spatial differentiation that is becoming less and less important in the present: the urban-rural divide. - First signs can be traced in a Paris map of Delagrive, early 18th c.
> A project mapping medieval England's known murder cases has now added Oxford and York to its street plan of London's 14th century slayings, and found that Oxford's student population was by far the most lethally violent of all social or professional groups in any of the three cities.
