Mapping other (geographical) realities

This paper addresses how `other¿ geographies are represented, generally from outside `main-stream¿ cartography. It begins by discussing maps and the representation of place and space. Then it looks at how maps are used to understand spatial relationships. This is followed by an overview about how maps are used or incorporated into popular media. The use of spatialisation and how other geographies are represented using the map metaphor is covered next. Finally, issues about extending cartographic representations to accord with the use of interactive and integrated media to visualise other geographies is addressed.
