Reading Novels, Reading Maps
Discussion by Mark Looker, Professor of Education,
and Michael Kalmes, Associate Professor of Political Science
Tuesday, October 13 • 4:00 p.m. • Earhart Manor Living Room
Looker and Kalmes discussed their project using multiple "thematic" maps in layers to uncover connections between apparently unrelated urban phenomena (e.g. poverty and the availability of public transportation, WWI and WWII bombing and the narrative structure of modernist novels, etc.).
They began by focusing on the city of London in the last two centuries, and use Virginia Woolf’s novel Mrs. Dalloway as a test case in developing computer programs that superimpose maps from any city on top of one another. They discussed and demonstrated their adaptation of the Geographical Information System program ArcMap in carrying out this interdisciplinary work.
