Publication of Mobility Humanities Series, Object-Oriented Cartography

The Academy of Mobility Humanities, Konkuk University (Director Inseop Shin) published Object-Oriented Cartography as a part of the Mobility Humanities series (Interconnect).

This book is a translation of Object-Oriented Cartography (2019) by Tania Rossetto, who is working at the Historical Geography department of the University of Padova in Italy.

In Object-Oriented Cartography, Tania Rossetto examined maps as an object based on the object-oriented ontology in the field of cartography. This research methodology provides a perspective to explore the issues of objecthood and materiality in the research of maps. The conversation between cartography and theory from object-oriented philosophy, posthumanism, actor-network theory, and turning to the material is valuable as the result of an interdisciplinary perspective of ‘cartographical humanities.’
