CARTOGRAPHIC FICTIONS

Abstract

This study will reveal the „in concreto” evolution of cartographic representations, of geographical space, that is. This space illustrates the evolution and becoming of what is referred to as the geographical imaginary. The imagining conscience relies on the geographical imaginary to “complete” the empirical sphere and the perceptive conscience, conjuring mythemes and symbols as archetypal images. It is an iconosphere of cartographic representations, wonderfully entwining the “drawing” of a cogito employing geographical knowledge perpetually augmented with mythemes borrowed by an irrepressible geographical imaginary.
