Tracks on the Ocean

A History of Trailblazing, Maps and Maritime Travel

Sara Caputo
Against the seemingly uniform expanse of an ocean, the cartographic track of a journey ‘advertises action and impact’ and is unashamedly individual rather than presenting a mask of objectivity. From the ancient world to the modern era, Sara Caputo explores how tracks representing voyages have shaped our understanding of the world but also looks at their cultural meaning, explaining how they turn experience into convention, mark out territory and ultimately represent control.
