INT 84AU: DEEP MAPPING
University of California, Santa Barbara
Deep mapping is a literary technique used by travel and environmental write rs to create a multilayered portrait of a place, including not only a descr iption of the place, but also its natural and cultural history, as well as the writer's personal experience with and in that place. In this seminar, w e will read excerpts from the foundational deep map in literature, William Least Heat-Moon's "Prairyerth," as well as examples by other contemporary a uthors. Mostly, we we work on writing our own deep maps, first by visiting sites in and around UCSB campus and then by creating multimodal representat ions of those places using ArcGIS StoryMaps.
