Ways of looking, seeing, knowing:
Darwin and�Thoreau survey Nature and the nature of prison
Pinup date: 2PM, Monday, 13 September 1999

 

Spatial ideas of landscape and prison represented in Darwin's and Thoreau 's texts are framed by, in the case of �the former -- the�empire's gaze, in the latter, an individualist's politics.

Prepare superimposed mappings of spatial conditions and relationships projected off the map legends encoded within the authors' narratives. Include text excerpts as keys and legends within the iconic and linguistic marking schemes of your cartographic space.
