AS 040.300 - Seeing the world by looking at yourself in the mirror

Institution:

Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

Through readings of classical and contemporary authors (Herodotus, Hippocrates, Calvino, Saint-Exupery, and others), this course investigates the interrelations between geographical knowledge and non-geographical interpretive categories. In particular, an interdisciplinary perspective will focus on the idea of identity/otherness, from the earliest cartography to the modern sociological studies of usages, customs, and morals. Why was “drawing the World” a matter of daring and the “drawn World” is a daring mirror of ourselves?
