In this book, Claire Reddleman introduces her theoretical innovation cartographic abstractiona material modality of thought and experience that is produced through cartographic techniques of depiction. Reddleman closely engages with selected artworks (by contemporary artists such as Joyce Kozloff, Layla Curtis, and Bill Fontana) and theories in each chapter. Reconfiguring the Foucauldian underpinning of critical cartography towards a materialist theory of abstraction, cartographic viewpoints are theorised as concrete abstractions. This research is positioned at the intersection of art theory, critical cartography and materialist philosophy.
Claire Reddleman received her PhD in cultural studies from Goldsmiths, University of London.
Cartographic visions and the Apollos eye organized, ordered, quantified, and defined the spaces of the modern world. How do we make sense of a contemporary world in which surveillance cameras, drones, and satellites are no longer strange but are our everyday reality? Claire Reddlemans inspired book brings together critical cartographic studies with the work of artists whose creations depend on maps, drones, and related tools. This, the resulting book, generates theoretical tools for grappling with uncertain times.

We see with maps. Using maps to create complex visual understandings of the world is an activity that most of us are so used to that we do not tend to consider how the maps we read help us form these understandings. Map use has become a thoroughly commonplace activity, whether we are navigating in a city using a smartphone, planning a journey across the country, or looking at artworks that include images of maps in an art gallery or on an artists website. The specifically cartographic way in which we create spatial and visual understandings of the world is the subject of this book. I offer a new theoretical framework for understanding how we go about the complex process of seeing with maps. I use this idea of seeing with maps to claim two thingsthat maps are deeply concerned with creating a sense that we can see the world by using them and to assert a commitment to further John Bergers important claim that [o]ur vision is continually active, continually moving, continually holding things in a circle around itself, constituting what is present to us as we are (1972/2008, p. 9). Vision is an active process, constituted by a range of means, including map use, and it is the process of how we see with maps that I focus on here. The cartographic image implies and constitutes its viewer using distinctive visual techniques that can usefully be investigated through considering contemporary artworks that take up, explore and disrupt cartographic ways of seeing (Berger, 1972).
This book proposes a theory of cartographic abstraction as a framework for investigating cartographic viewing and does so through exploring a series of contemporary artworks that are engaged with cartographic abstraction in different ways. I bring together close readings of these artworksby Joyce Kozloff, James Bridle, Trevor Paglen, Layla Curtis and Bill Fontanawith materialist approaches to abstraction. This is an interdisciplinary investigation concerned with enlarging the current possibilities for critically understanding viewing and subjectivity in the area of cartographic imagery. I aim to push beyond the highly productive framework of critical cartography to articulate a new approach to understanding cartographys effects in the world. In order to do this, the new theoretical proposal that I put forward and use throughout this book is cartographic abstraction.
