Turnbull considers maps have been instrumental in changing not just what we
think but how we think (
2007
). He argues the world is increasingly becoming
organized around the cartographic trope. Innovative methods of mapping suggest
new routes within the worlds of ideas, activity and environment (Turnbull
2007
).
Crang states ''we need a sense of the event and the process of time, rather than
letting thinking be dominated by static representations. It may be that we can
develop representations that within them encode the forces and movement of
time'' (
2001
).
In this vein Doreen Massey asserts that landscape's generativity is heightened
at its interface with practices. She calls for a ''reimaging of landscape and place''
that understands these both ''as events, as happenings, as moments that will again
be dispersed'', and from which ''a future is—has to be—negotiated'' (Massey
2006
, p 46). Similarly, this study suggests that wilderness need not be conceptu-
alized on the basis of a panoptic and undifferentiated cartography, but rather along
the always-being-negotiated vectors of journeys undertaken. Indeed, it is in a
cartography that accentuates the liminal qualities of meeting and moving, between
space and place, practice and agency, and between journey and narrative, that an
opportunity to create a new understanding of landscape can be found.
