Abstract
This chapter charts what characterizes critical cartography, exploring the theoretical and practical implications of the field, to historicize and situate its practice. It focuses upon the modes, moments and methods in the processes of writing and doing mapping in a critical manner. Like Crampton its aim is to explore the silences – in an analogous fashion to Brian Harley’s (1988) influential exploration of the silences in mapping in early modern Europe, to reveal some of the forces that influence mapping and critical writing about mapping.
