Calls for a more humanized version of geospatial technologies have been heard since the mid 1990‘s (Pickles, 1995). However, only a relatively small proportion of cartographic efforts have been made in this direction because, perhaps, of the difficulties in data collection and representation that mapping emotion entails. This paper reviews recent humanistic cartography, including the representation of emotion in maps as well as the use of maps to collect emotional data. The role of maps in evoking emotion in map readers is also discussed. Finally, potential future intersections of cartography and emotion are explored. We argue that the time is ripe in cartography to engage with this element of human experience, as new data collection methodologies and Web 2.0-derived data sources provide the potential to open up whole new worlds for cartographers to more fully map the human experience, including emotions, and in so doing, to make a significant contribution to a richer understanding of human geographies.
