Mapping Medieval Japan, April 24-25, University of Southern California
by Janet Goodwin
Mapping Medieval Japan: a seminar on maps and mapmaking
April 24-25, 2020
University of Southern California, Los Angeles CA
Sponsored by
the Project for Premodern Japan Studies, the Shinsō Itō Center for Japanese
Religion and Culture at USC, and the USC Libraries
Organized by
Rebecca Corbett, Joan R. Piggott, and Janet Goodwin
Maps have long
been a crucial element in historical studies: they not only help us to
determine locations but also to analyze connections and conflict among people,
and to understand how people interacted in physical space that often
influenced, even dictated, their interactions. Maps enable us to understand the
changing layouts of cities over time, the ways in which people cooperated or
fought over resource use, or patterns of trade and transport on both land and
sea. Recent advances in mapmaking—3-dimensional mapping and the use of GIS
data, for example—have helped us to locate and to visualize some of these
processes and interactions. In this two-day seminar on maps and mapmaking,
participants will pay special attention to the use of maps in pre-modern
Japanese history, as well have the opportunity to learn to make their own maps
using computer-based mapmaking tools.
