This document discusses mapping humanities concepts to provide new perspectives on critical analysis. It explains how spatial representations of narratives can offer a truer sense of proximity between events. Maps allow viewers to see settings from a local's point of view and how practical it would be to navigate that time and place. The document then provides instructions for creating interactive maps on Google MyMaps that locate individual settings and events from literature by adding multiple layers, points of interest, and connections between points to tell the story.
Mapping the Humanities
- 2. Why Map a Humanities Concept?
- 3. A New Angle on CriticalAnalysis An plot analysis of thirteen 2011 Man Booker Prize contenders the revealed convergence of themes and devices
- 4. Form and Function Spatial representations allow for a truer sense of proximity between events in a narrative Maps can offer a local’s point of view on the practicality of navigating a time and place
- 5. Locating the Individual A Google MyMaps user’s public map of the setting of their favorite books, sorted by geographic distribution
- 6. Personal layer Historical layer Literary layers (five)
- 7. Adding and Editing Layers Adding a new layer is easy! • Each layer will group together place tags (or points) • Layers can be “muted” to offer different views of your map • Rename and organize your layer before adding the required five points to keep things simple
- 8. TwoWays to Add Points After creating and naming a layer: 1. Search for the geographic feature, building etc. with the query bar and select “Add to Map” 2. Create a unique point from scratch using the top hand toolbar
- 9. Editing and EnrichingYour Points • Add pictures • Create written content for each point
- 10. Connect the Dots • Create lines that tell a story • Customize your points by icon type and color
