Us heu preguntat mai què passaria si capgiréssim el globus terraqüi i llegíssim el món ‘al revés’? And if world mapping had been built from Beijing and not from London or Paris? Maps should explain the world to us and help us navigate it, but what is that they don't tell us? They are inclusive or exclusive? They are neutral or political?
A Entendre els mapes, Vicent Partal explains the rules that any curious or interested person must take into account when starting to read maps. It also reveals to us the enormous political and cultural influence that any cartographic decision can trigger, therefore, it alerts us to the manipulations or misunderstandings we can fall into.
