Cartopology, or how to create your own discipline?

In her PhD-project artistic resesarcher Marlies Vermeulen aims to combine anthropological fieldwork with cartographical techniques to notate the local qualities of space. She calls this approach Cartopology.

As any other scientific and artistic discipline, Cartopology now has its own Wikipedia-entry, where its theoretical background and current use are explicated and explained. We witness here a discipline-in-the-making!
