This is the longest we’ve gone that the world map hasn’t changed - Axios

This week marks nine years since South Sudan was admitted to the United Nations, becoming the 193rd and most recent entrant into the club of internationally recognized countries.
The big picture: This is the longest period in modern history during which the world map has remained unchanged.
Simply relabeling three small countries — Cape Verde to Cabo Verde, Swaziland to Eswatini, Macedonia to North Macedonia — would bring a world map from Barack Obama’s first term up to date.
By the numbers: The UN added 44 members (most of them newly independent African nations) in the 1960s, 26 in the 1970s, seven in the 1980s, and 26 in the early 1990s as the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia fractured.

What marks the #Queen_Mary_Atlas as one of the finest examples of cartography from this period is the richness of its illustrative details and embellishments. The seas, for example, feature numerous ships of various designs and sizes, from Spanish galleons to Ottoman barges. Some are even engaged in naval battles with each other.

Art Challenge: Readers Show Us How They Map Their Worlds - Atlas Obscura
▻https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/obscura-academy-map-submissions
As many of us find ways to explore the world from inside our homes, maps can be a source of comfort and inspiration. Recently, we asked you to be the cartographers by creating maps of your own. The results were a fascinating mix of real and imagined worlds, and a few that charted the ground between those spaces.

Making Heimat. Germany, Arrival Country. #Atlas of Refugee Housing
The refugee situation in the autumn of 2015 was the starting point for the controversial exhibition Making Heimat: Germany, Arrival Country for the German Pavilion at the 15th Venice Biennial of Architecture. The Flüchtlingsbautenatlas (Atlas of Refugee Housing) expands upon the observations made about the German arrival cities in the first volume. What roles are played by architects and urban planners when it comes to executing sustainable solutions for housing new arrivals in Germany? Which construction projects could serve as prototypes for affordable housing? Through about fifty-five exemplary construction projects, we take a look at the future of German cities. Photographs by Anja Weber and extensive descriptions of the projects written after site visits provide insight into the everyday life in German refugee accomondations.

SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook built itself into the No. 2 digital advertising platform in the world by analyzing the vast amount of data it had on each of its 1.3 billion users to sell individually targeted ads on its social network. Now it is going to take those targeted ads to the rest of the Internet, mounting its most direct challenge yet to Google, the leader in digital advertising with nearly one-third of the global market.

#Herbert_Bayer (5 Apr 1900 – 30 Sep 1985) began his career studying archirecture under Georg Schmidthammer and later painting at the Darmstadt Artists’ Colony. Inspired by Walter Gropius’ Bauhaus manifesto, he enrolled in the Weimar Bauhaus and studied painting under Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee and László Moholy-Nagy. After passing his journeymans exam Gropius appointed him as the junior master of the newly-created typography workshop. Bayer spent three years on faculity at Dessau before starting his own design firm in Berlin.1
Bayer was among the last of the Bauhaus faculty to emigrate from Germany, leaving for New York only after his work was singled out by the Nazis in their infamous 1937 Degenerate Art Exhibition.

Isn’t it a tad creepy to be obsessed with ruins? Aude de Tocqueville doesn’t think so. For her, they hold a mysterious, poetic fascination that no living city can match. In her new book, Atlas of Lost Cities: A Travel Guide to Abandoned and Forsaken Destinations, de Tocqueville sets off on a journey of exploration to 44 places that once thronged with life but now lie dead and often buried. On the way, she discovers that, like us, cities are mortal. (Experience Chernobyl’s haunting ruins in 360-degree photos.)
#Atlas of Lost Cities. A Travel Guide to Abandoned and Forsaken Destinations
Cities are mortal, but the traces they leave behind tell a fascinating story. In Atlas of Lost Cities, an accomplished travel writer reveals the rise and fall of notable places, each pithy portrait illuminated by a vintage map that puts armchair explorers right in the scene. Wander with care through:
Ancient and legendary places like #Pompeii, #Teotihuacán, and #Angkor
Contemporary wonders like #Centralia, a nearly abandoned Pennsylvania town consumed by unquenchable underground fire
Eerie planned communities like #Nova_Citas_de_Kilamba in #Angola, where housing, schools, and stores were built for 500,000 people who never came
Epecuen, a tourist town in Argentina that was swallowed by water
With each map are fantastical illustrations that help the reader envision these hubs as they were in their prime. A perfect gift for the traveler who believes he or she has seen it all.

With varied maps and photos, author Travis Elborough tells the stories of urban centers long erased (e.g. the Roman city of Timgad in Algeria) and places that are eroding before our eyes (e.g. Dead Sea, Venice).
Map Quests - The New York Times
▻https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/02/books/map-quests.html
As the daughter of a geography professor, I grew up in a house filled with maps, which papered the walls of our living room and filled my father’s cramped study. In a digital age where maps have become all but obsolete, I still love them. I comb flea markets and secondhand bookstores looking for old maps of the places I’ve lived. I always have a road atlas in my car, which comes in handy in places with no cell service, like the remote hollows of the Blue Ridge Mountains. And I collect atlases of all kinds and spend far too much money on them.
The Miller Atlas, 1519, the atlas of the first circumnavigation of the world. - YouTube
▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZrABjeC2Ss&feature=youtu.be
The Portuguese atlas preserved today in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, known as the Miller Atlas (1519), is an extraordinary illustration of the world on the eve of the first trip around the world.
This intriguing and mysterious atlas, commissioned by Manuel I of Portugal to convince his brother-in-law Carlos I of the unfeasibility of Magellan’s project, is a testament to the geopolitical tensions of the time. Even though it includes innovative nautical information, the purpose of this lavish work was to provide an image of the entirely discovered world, which was especially significant on the eve of Magellan and Elcano’s expeditions funded and sponsored by the Spanish crown.

It is an incredibly beautiful and richly decorative universal atlas, but it’s also of great practical and geopolitical use, as it reflects impressive advancements in geographical discoveries thanks to the Portuguese in all the world’s oceans and seas. The atlas offers a vision of plenitude and richness in various lands; on one side, areas inhabited by exotic animals and mythological creatures (griffins, dragons), on the other, fortified cities and even the Tower of Babel.

We Are Here: An #atlas of Aotearoa by Massey University Press - issuu
▻https://issuu.com/masseypress/docs/pages_from_we_are_here
▻https://www.wired.com/story/california-ghost-metropolis-gallery
In 1958, a Czech-born sociology professor named Nat Mendelsohn purchased 82,000 acres of land in the Mojave Desert, about 100 miles north of Los Angeles, and founded the optimistically named California City. Intended to eventually rival LA in importance, California City was just one of the countless master-planned communities that sprouted up across the state in the post-World War II boom years. But unlike Irvine or Mission Viejo, California City never took off.
Although it’s officially California’s third-largest city based on its geographic size, today just under 15,000 people live there, many of them employed at the California City Correctional Center. All that remains of Mendelsohn’s Ozymandian vision is a sprawling grid of empty, mostly unpaved streets carved into the desert landscape—a ghost suburb that looks from above like the remains of an ancient civilization.

An Atlas of Radical Cartography
This Atlas is an atlas and not the atlas. Rather, it is one of many possible atlases, given the abundance of artists, architects, and others using maps and mapping in their work. While all maps have an inherent politics that often lies hidden beneath an “objective” surface, the contributions to An Atlas of Radical Cartography wear their politics on their sleeve. This publication includes ten pairs of politically engaged maps and texts from within the growing movement of cultural producers who have parallel or integrated activist practices.
The 10 MAPS:
1) Chetla Lock Gate, Marginal Land Settlement in Calcutta, 1984
2) Routes of Least Surveillance
3) Rendition Flights 2001-2006
4) Geography of the Fürth Departure Center
5) Guias de Ruta / Route Guides
6) From South to North
7) the los angeles water cycle: the way it is, not the way it should be and one day will be

Review: The #Red_Atlas, by John Davies and Alexander J. Kent | THE Books
▻https://www.timeshighereducation.com/books/review-the-red-atlas-john-davies-and-alexander-j-kent-universi
n the early 1980s, at the height of the Cold War, the eminent cartographer J. B. Harley transformed the study of maps in a series of brilliant articles deconstructing the presumptions that cartography was a scientific, objective study of physical space. Having read his Derrida, Foucault and Barthes, Harley argued that all maps were shaped by prevailing social, political and ideological factors and represented the world according to the vested interests of those who made or paid for them.
Most scholars assumed that Harley’s innovation came from reading post-structuralist critical theory, but John Davies and Alexander Kent’s brilliant Red Atlas, on the extraordinary Soviet project to map the world from the 1940s until the empire’s collapse in 1989, suggests that Harley and his disciples were also responding to how state power during this particular confrontational period appropriated cartography to further its political ideology.

#Maroc. L’incroyable histoire du #mémorial de la #Shoah érigé au pied de l’#Atlas_marocain
Les Marocains ont découvert avec stupéfaction qu’un étrange mémorial de l’#Holocauste était en construction depuis plus d’un an près de Marrakech, à l’initiative d’un artiste et activiste allemand un peu fantasque. Les autorités ont réagi sans tarder en démolissant l’œuvre.
Des stèles en béton ressemblant à celles du mémorial de l’Holocauste de Berlin. Un arc-en-ciel LGBT peint au sol. Un obélisque. Un bâtiment noir bizarre évoquant surtout Le Seigneur des anneaux. Une haute clôture grillagée et un drapeau européen, en référence, dans un douteux mélange des genres, à la politique migratoire européenne. Le tout voulu comme… un mémorial de l’Holocauste, en plein Maroc rural, près de Marrakech.
Voilà l’hallucinante rumeur qui a parcouru les réseaux sociaux marocains le week-end dernier et provoqué dans le royaume des réactions étonnées, incrédules ou énervées, et des accusations de “propagande israélienne”. Encore plus hallucinant : la rumeur était vraie. Et la construction de cet étrange mémorial avait débuté… il y a plus d’un an, en juillet 2018.
Le sujet a fait le tour de la presse marocaine, qui a présenté son concepteur : un Allemand résidant au Maroc nommé Oliver Bienkowski, à la tête d’une ONG “antiraciste et de défense des droits humains” intitulée PixelHelper, qui montrait depuis un an sur Twitter et Facebook l’avancement du chantier, sans lésiner sur les hashtags.
Oliver Bienkowski avait en fait été interviewé quelques jours plus tôt par le quotidien israélien The Jerusalem Post, dans un article donnant une première idée de sa personnalité plutôt farfelue.

Pan Inuit Trails
►http://www.paninuittrails.org/index.html?module=module.paninuittrails
The #Atlas provides a synoptic view (although certainly incomplete) of Inuit mobility and occupancy of Arctic waters, coasts and lands, including its icescapes, as documented in written historical records (maps of trails and place names).
The documents that form the foundation of this Atlas consist of both published and unpublished accounts of Inuit engagement with cartography during the 19th and 20th centuries. All documents are held in public libraries or archives. The focus of the Atlas in this initial project is on material from the Eastern and Central Canadian Arctic. It is hoped that the Atlas can be further developed in subsequent phases to present material of other Inuit groups such as the Inupiat, Inuvialuit, and peoples of Nunatsiavut (Labrador) and Nunavik.
Delineations of trails and place names play a critical role in documenting the Inuit spatial narratives about their homelands. To show where these trails lead and connect to other trails, the historical records used in making this Atlas are being relationally linked, referenced geospatially, and displayed on a base map.

[Book] This is not an atlas
Attention pépite
This is not an atlas, est un bel ouvrage papier et pdf proposé en open access, qui rassemble plus de 40 documents de type « contre-cartographies » venant du monde entier.
Ce n’est donc pas un atlas, au sens classique du terme : les projets (ou documents mis en avant) n’ont en effet pas pour vocation de restituer sous une forme cartographique formalisée une occupation de la surface terrestre, élaborée dans un contexte opérationnel.
L’objectif de cet ensemble de documents, rassemblés par le kollektiv orangotango, uniques et non comparables, est plutôt de montrer comment des représentations territoriales sont pensées, discutées et fabriquées, coproduites avec les populations concernées dans un contexte de recherche critique, mêlant des considérations artistiques à des objectifs pédagogiques, d’éducation critique.
La réflexion prend en effet souvent corps dans un contexte de lutte politique de diverses populations qui vont ainsi s’emparer de la « cartographie » pour proposer leur vision de leur territoire en s’appuyant sur des matériaux divers. Les représentations qui en découlent sont subjectives, en ce sens qu’elle parlent de leurs concepteurs-réalisateurs qu’il s’agisse d’indigène latino-américains, de femmes marocaines ou de réfugiés libanais.

L’impermanence, le passage du temps, les temporalités croisées qui ont une réelle influence sur la vie de l’être humain, sont autant de faits qu’elle observe en s’appuyant sur les recherches les plus actuelles avant de les traduire dans une forme plastique appropriée. Elle participe de cette manière à la famille des artistes dont le mouvement se dit écologique depuis la fin du XXe siècle.

La commémoration des 250 ans de la naissance d’Alexandre de Humboldt (1769-1859) est l’occasion de (re)découvrir l’oeuvre du célèbre géographe allemand. Son expédition dans les Amériques – Vénézuela, Colombie, Équateur, Pérou, Cuba, Mexique et États-Unis - qu’il a réalisée entre 1799 et 1804 avec le biologiste français Aimé Bonpland, a contribué à en faire un géographe de terrain fondant son approche scientifique sur l’observation. De retour en Europe, il publie une oeuvre monumentale. Considéré comme le père de la géographie moderne, il montre les interactions des phénomènes humains avec les phénomènes géologiques, météorologiques, biologiques ou physiques.
En 1817, il publie « Des lignes isothermes et de la distribution de la chaleur sur le globe », Mémoires de Physique et de Chimie de la Société d’Arcueil (consulter l’ouvrage). Il faut cependant attendre 1838 pour qu’il élabore sa fameuse carte des isothermes à l’échelle mondiale (voir la carte sur la collection David Rumsey). Entre temps, un éducateur peu connu du Connecticut, William Woodbridge, qui a voyagé en Europe et a fréquenté Humboldt à Paris, publie en 1823 un Atlas scolaire qui contient une carte de répartition des isothermes qui est la plus ancienne carte connue à cette échelle. Retour sur une histoire originale à travers ce fil Twitter qui fait suite à un article publié par Gilles Fumey sur le blog Géographie en mouvement de Libération : Alexandre de Humbolt, le premier écologiste (8 mai 2019).
