'Mapping Global Literatures': A Talk for GIS Day
Maber, Peter (2024) 'Mapping Global Literatures': A Talk for GIS Day. In: Northeastern GIS Day 2024, 22nd November 2024, Snell Library, Northeastern University Boston. (Unpublished)
Abstract
This public-facing talk to celebrate GIS day focused on my digital humanities projects mapping global literatures. This collaborative project sees students studying global literatures learn digital mapping skills to produce maps which illuminate ancient times, places, and narratives. The first project centers on *The Epic of Gilgamesh*, and tracks both epic journeys and wider points of reference in the text. Such mapping facilitates new insights, for example into the relationships between mythical and real time and place.
