Аннотация
This article is an adaptation of the first chapter of the authors’ book of the same name. The main conceptual move they propose is to take seriously the ambiguity of the expression “nature of maps” — the need to investigate the nature of maps by investigating the nature of maps, and vice versa. Each of these two natures can only be understood in light of the other. The article consists of three thematic parts. The first, based on the ideas of Gérard Genette and Roland Barthes, presents the map as a complex semiotic device and inevitably an ideological construction. By analogy with the paratext, which Genette divided into peritext and epitext, the notion of paramap (perimap + epimap) is introduced, allowing us to describe the map as a powerful mechanism for the creation and transportation of authority in matters of territory and, ultimately, power over territory.
The second part of the paper, in the mode of preliminary assumptions, substantiates the thesis that cognitive linguistics with its basic principles and notions (first of all, mental space and mapping) is a good model for thinking about cartography. The third part, using concrete maps as examples, shows how they participate in constructing and reconstructing our ideas about nature, and indeed about many different kinds of nature: nature threatened and threatened, nature sublime and nature generous, nature that we collect and nature that we explore, nature mysterious and unknowable, nature where we go for a picnic. The cards turn out to be players in a complex social game that defines the relationship of the human species to the rest of the world. But pretending to be a mere scorekeeper of the game, the cards reveal themselves, rather like a ball, to be the very medium by which moves are made in this game.
