Internet: The use of Internet sources is expressly forbidden except with the instructor’s permission or direction. The course essays should derive from your own original reading and understanding of the course materials and reflect your own distinctive, historical interpretation. The use of secondary Internet sources, especially online encyclopedias and dictionaries such as Wikipedia, Britannica online, Spark Notes, as well as book reviews of the course materials is expressly forbidden. Any use of such sources, acknowledged or unacknowledged, will result in a failing grade of “0” on the assignment and a failing grade in the course.
Based on your reading of Helgerson, Andrews, and Norden write a 4-5 page (12 point, double-spaced) essay answering any one of the below questions:
The purpose of each individual’s maps vary depending on the motive, sources, and personal bias of the maker. How do conscious and unconscious biases against Ireland and the Irish affect the way each cartographer and chorographer depicts and describes Ireland?
What choices made by the author cause an essential form of a map to stray from being ideologically neutral and void of connotation? How does it influence the map and its uses?
How do the patronage relations of cartographers and chorographers affect the ultimate impact that the map can have on its users, the quality, content, and usage of the maps? What effect does a map have on nationalism?
