Cartography

Rather than treating maps as a single, unified group, Edney argues, scholars need to take a processual approach that examines specific types of maps-sea charts versus thematic maps, for example-in the context of the unique circumstances of their production, circulation, and consumption.

In loc sa trateze hartile ca pe un singur grup unificat, sustine Edney, oamenii de stiinta trebuie sa adopte o abordare procesuala care examineaza tipuri specifice de harti - harti maritime fata de harti tematice, de exemplu - in contextul circumstantelor unice ale productiei, circulatiei lor, si consum.
