Photoatlas Series
Circle of All Nations Photoatlas Series and Linkages with the Research of Dr. Alexander Wolodtschenko
This new subsection in the website evolves from a series of photoatlas creation projects and joint presentations at the International Cartographic Association 2021 Conference, with Dr. Alexander Wolodtschenko, Dr. D. R. Fraser Taylor and Dr. Romola V. Thumbadoo.
For more information about Photoatlases, please check out the new derivative methodical photoatlas by Dr. Wolodtschenko “What is an Atlassing?” available from: https://atlas-semiotics.jimdofree.com/bild-atlantothek/ Rubric: 2022 Altassing-22
In short, Dr. Wolodtschenko discusses it as a derivative photoatlas “based on the diverse photoatlases and two monographs of the author: – Semiotische Evolution in der Kartographie und Atlassing. Dresden 2020; – Quo vadis Europäische (theoretische) Kartographie und Karto/ Atlassemiotik? Dresden 2021 and also a presentation “Atlassing as a New Interdisciplinary Direction and Discipline” for the ICA Joint Commission Conference “Atlases in Time” in Madrid, 20-23 April 2022. Based on selected facts this photoatlas reflects the development of atlassing as a new interdisciplinary semiotic-epistemological direction in the creation, analysis and collection of diverse thematic atlases or photoatlases (with cartographic and non-cartographic traditions). The formation of a new interdisciplinary direction of atlassing with new semiotic-epistemological disciplines such as atlassemiotics and photo atlassemiotics, atlasgraphy and photo atlasgraphy, etc. brings new challenges of cartography or atlas cartography. The 2020s will show how modern academic cartography responds to the new challenges of atlasgraphy and photoatlasgraphy.
Note that the website now includes a special section entitled Photoatlas Series: Circle of All Nations, in the 2022 list, dedicated by Dr. Wolodtschenko to honouring the work and legacy of Indigenous Elder Dr. William Commanda, recipient of two honorary docotrate degrees.
