map – Parerga und Paralipomena http://www.michelepasin.org/blog At the core of all well-founded belief lies belief that is unfounded - Wittgenstein Wed, 22 Sep 2010 09:28:47 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.11 13825966 Mapping stereotypes http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/2010/09/22/mapping-stereotypes/ Wed, 22 Sep 2010 09:28:47 +0000 http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/?p=923 Sometimes a picture is more eloquent than a thousand words. Well, a map can be too, and the maps by Yanko Tsvetkov proved the point for me. Mapping stereotypes is a project in which he plots on a european map the way we (as British, French, Italians etc…) see the ‘others’. The funny bit is that the pictures represent the most superficial, street-level, shallow views we have about our european neighbours…

Below, two maps from the collection: ‘Europe according to USA‘, and ‘Europe according to Italy‘.
