(2018) The map and the territory, Dordrecht, Springer.

In the deserts of cartography

building, dwelling, mapping

Robert T. Tally

pp. 599-608

Any discussion of the map and the territory, at least insofar as it touches on literary or cultural studies, will frequently turn to the evocative little story by Jorge Luis Borges, tantalizing titled "On Exactitude in Science." It is certainly one of the most recognizable, even most canonical, texts in spatiality studies, broadly conceived, and it always helps to set a properly philosophical tone when thinking about the problem of representation.
