The map is the story: the U-shaped line in western news media coverage of the geopolitics of the South China Sea / Peter Vujakovic in International journal of cartography, Vol 6 n° 2 (July 2020)

The line has become an important element in Western popular discourse concerning the geopolitics of the SCS. This paper argues that the cartographic re-presentation of the U-shaped line in the Western press contributes to an ‘orientalist’ conception that portrays China as ‘other’; as aggressive and unwilling to ‘play by the rules’, and a portrayal of the whole region as potentially unstable. Its re-circulation may, however, work to China’s advantage by reinforcing cartographic precedent and creating a specific ‘geographic imagination’ of the SCS. Maps are regarded as an important element in the ‘spectacle of fear’ propagated by the West, with the representations of the SCS shown to be part of a wider use of maps by the press to cover issues related to geopolitics and conflict.

The State as a 'Power Container' : The role of news media cartography in contemporary geopolitical discourse / Peter Vujakovic in Cartographic journal (the), vol 51 n° 1 (February 2014)  

Public [article]  inCartographic journal (the) > vol 51 n° 1 (February 2014) . - pp 11 - 24 Titre : The State as a 'Power Container' : The role of news media cartography in contemporary geopolitical discourse Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Peter Vujakovic, Auteur Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : pp 11 - 24 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] communication cartographique [Termes IGN] conception cartographique [Termes IGN] diffusion de l'information [Termes IGN] géopolitique [Termes IGN] presse (media) [Termes IGN] relations internationales [Termes IGN] stratégie [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartologie Résumé : (Auteur) The news media play an important role in creating and disseminating geopolitical discourse. This paper explores the role of news maps in geopolitical discourse with reference to the potential super-power status of key states, specifically China and Russia as members of the BRIC group (Brazil, Russia, India and China), and in the case of Russia, the NORCs (Northern Rim Countries – Canada, Russia, several Scandinavian states and the USA). It also explores references to ‘threats’ to a stable interstate system (resource wars, regional instability, ‘rouge states’). The paper argues that the concept of the state as ‘power container’ provides a key to understanding how maps operate as a significant element within geopolitical discourse. Maps provide spatial and geostrategic context to the narratives being deployed by news providers on such matters as China’s projection of power. The paper is based on the findings of a comprehensive survey of maps in the UK ‘quality press’ in 2009.

Cartographic language : Towards a new paradigm for understanding stylistic diversity in topographic maps / Alexander J. Kent in Cartographic journal (the), vol 48 n° 1 (February 2011)  

Public [article]  inCartographic journal (the) > vol 48 n° 1 (February 2011) . - pp 21 - 40 Titre : Cartographic language : Towards a new paradigm for understanding stylistic diversity in topographic maps Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Alexander J.

This paper explores the suitability of this approach as a hermeneutic for stylistic diversity, the persistence of nationally-specific conventions and problems of symbol standardisation. After reviewing earlier treatments of map language as analogy and metaphor in cartographic theory, we consider the construction of cartographic meaning and its role within a semiological system and suggest how variations in denotation and connotation allow a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of state topographic map symbologies. In treating topographic cartography as a natural visual language for communicating place, a new paradigm is proposed through which problems of international collaboration concerning the portrayal of transnational landscapes (especially at larger map scales) may be approached and potentially overcome.

Stylistic diversity in European state 1: 50 000 topographic maps / Alexander J. Kent in Cartographic journal (the), vol 46 n° 3 (August 2009)  

Public [article]  inCartographic journal (the) > vol 46 n° 3 (August 2009) . - pp 179 - 213 Titre : Stylistic diversity in European state 1: 50 000 topographic maps Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Alexander J.

This paper describes an investigation to classify and analyse stylistic diversity in the official 1 : 50 000 topographical mapping of 20 European countries. The method involves the construction of a typology of cartographic style, based upon the classification of distinct graphical legend symbols into mutually exclusive thematic categories. In order to identify stylistic similarities between national symbologies, hierarchical cluster analysis was performed to compare the relative proportions of symbols within each category. This was complemented by a qualitative analysis of various aspects of cartographic design: colour, 'white' space, visual hierarchy, and lettering. The results indicate a high degree of stylistic diversity throughout Europe, with the symbologies of Great Britain and Ireland demonstrating the strongest example of a supranational style. The typology of cartographic symbologies is shown to be an effective method for determining stylistic association among maps of differing geographical (and potentially historical) origins and it is suggested that the cartographic language paradigm should be revisited as a means for understanding why national differences persist in state cartography. A version of this paper was presented at the Twenty-third International Cartographic Conference in Moscow.
