Duran Wrote: "I will be much interested in getting any information about topo taxonomy, conceptualization, naming, painting, etc., within indigenous knowledge, already studied or collected, and most important of all, the method used to do that." Hey! It's great to hear from another geographer on the list! I've compiled some preliminary reading suggestions for IK and mapping. Like most disciplines in the last decade or so, geographers -- and cartographers in particular -- have re-examined their discipline from a number of perspectives. Spurred perhaps by the wide acknowledgement of the disenfranchising role of cartography during the colonial era, mapmakers have started to consider the social and political ramifications of the images they create. Many geographers no longer view maps and the "science" of their creation as objective! The suggestions here are far-ranging, so I leave it to you to draw from it what you will. Best of Luck!
