'Maps move, and this Handbook assembles a variety of vantage points to witness such movements: textual, sensorial and the more-than-representational, cinematic and the virtual, resistive and mundane, grounded and atmospheric, monumental and ephemeral. Careful to not recuperate mapmaking but make it more responsible, more resonating, this collection bends, without breaking, the reverberative potential of the drawn line. It leaves mapmaking practices more curious, more open, more vibrational, without the privilege of an ahistorical treatment.'

'Tania Rossetto and Laura Lo Presti have compiled a state-of-the-art collection of commentaries on the many ways in which the humanities and cartography are joined at the hip. Bringing together an international and interdisciplinary cast of writers on the cutting edge of geohumanistic enquiry they show how the seemingly instrumental rationalities of the map have always been, and always should be, richly discursive endeavours embedded in strategies of domination and resistance. This is a must-read collection for scholars across the humanities interested in the role of cartography in human meaning-making.'
Tim Cresswell, Ogilvie Professor of Geography, University of Edinburgh, UK
'Mapping remains an extraordinarily diverse and generative technique for mediating the world. Committed to theoretical and methodological pluralism, this outstanding collection explores its technologies, politics and consequences through a rich range of case studies drawn from across "cartographic culture", both historical and contemporary.'
