The recently released Everything Sings: Maps for a Narrative Atlas considers Boylan Heights, a neighborhood in Raleigh, North Carolina, in grand detail, mapping everything from radio waves to Halloween pumpkins. Denis Wood, the leader of the collaborative mapping project that resulted in Everything Sings, has for several decades been one of the most exciting and approachable writers about maps, mapmaking and the history of cartography. His Ce Nest Pas Le Monde was probably the first comic book ever given as a paper at the Association of American Geographers annual meeting. This February, fellow radical cartographer Tim Stallmann talked with Denis Wood at his home in Raleigh about the nature of maps and the history of the Boylan Heights mapping project.This spread shows two pages from Ce Nest Pas Le Monde, a comic produced by Denis Wood and John Krygier to advance their argument that maps can be understood semiotically as collections of propositions of the form "This is there." The answer to the question, on the next page, is obvious—"They're maps!" Image courtesy of Denis Wood.
