Examples

“The schizocartographies highlighted here operate⟳ against the grain, counter to the well-trodden urban path, while at the same time recognizing the dominant structure⟳ for what it is, what it does and what it represents.”

“Schizocartography aims to create⟳ visual maps of place⟳ by revealing not only what is visually present⟳ or seen in a space, but the social history, alternative representations, and hidden or absent impressions.”

“In this way, schizocartography offers a more multidirectional approach⟳ to topological mapping that includes a subject whilst at the same time still allowing for an a-centring of the self.”
