Based on the phrase: the orchid and the wasp make a map within a rhizome, we conjecture that one of the subjects who say I in the poem and the people buried in Macchu Picchu enter into a common future. Such becoming creates “another Macchu Picchu” not a carbon copy of the real monument; creation unleashed by the presence of various selvesin the text (or various “Nerudas”). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The general objective is to continue completing the puzzle that makes up some of the new quadrants in the field of local sociology that follow what is exposed in Part I: from 1900 to the 1980s. As materials, events dated by a chronology and documented references are considered; and how changes in its institutional framework, activities, editorial spaces, professional associations, cooperation, local and international training, access and financing for research were generated in the historical dynamics. The method is qualitative, the techniques combine interviews, documentary checklists, analysis of secondary data and content, seeking through triangulation the qualitative saturation that enables the work of registration and archiving. Among the main results and conclusions, it is evident that in the period addressed, at the end of the 1980s until the time already in a context of democratic opening, new private centers were founded. Likewise, with the new millennium, and from the public university space, the first postgraduate courses will be developed with specific degrees or with an emphasis on sociology. Adding the third experience of a new sociology degree in the country, but this one, from a public university (FACSO); along with his first offer of a graduate program in the social sciences, and publication of his own notebooks. Likewise, another public institution offers new alternatives for training human resources abroad (BECAL). Simultaneously generating other local, inter-institutional, regional (AUGM), international (CLACSO) cooperation networks. As well as new scientific societies, professional associations (SPS; APS) and participation in research activity in a sustained, gradual and growing manner, with local financing with programs such as PROCIENCIA and PRONII of CONACYT.

The general objective is to continue thickening and completing the puzzle-like network of the spaces between the nodes that create and expand new quadrants of the field of local sociology. As materials, events dated by a chronology and documented references are considered; and how changes in its institutional framework, activities, editorial spaces, professional associations, cooperation, local and international training, access and financing for research were generated in the historical dynamics. The method is qualitative, the techniques combine interviews, documentary checklists, analysis of secondary data and content, seeking through triangulation the qualitative saturation that enables the work of registration and archiving. Among the main results and conclusions, it is evident that the field begins to be designed historically with the gradual and slow entry of the discipline by the university sociology chair, in a subordinate way to the law degree in a public university. On the other hand, after almost seven decades, the emergence of the first autonomous institutional development as a degree course in the history of the country took place in the experience of the Catholic University "Nuestra Señora de la Asunción"; and, under the modality of a private research center in the area of social sciences, that of the CPES as La Catedral with its banner, the Paraguayan Journal of Sociology, Social Sciences Publication for Latin America. Other chapels will follow with the end of the dictatorship and the beginning of the democratic opening. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although Ihuatzio has been one of the most important pre-Hispanic cities in western Mexico, until now, there was no complete map of the Tarascan city. In this sense, through field work and a study based on the LiDAR technique, a complete plan of Ihuatzio is presented for the first time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a theoretical-methodological procedure of an inductive nature, this paper holds that maps are social constructions that transmit ideological, cultural, and political messages; therefore, the intention of the cartographic language becomes an item of main interest. It is clear that both people and organizations have always used planispheres for their own purposes, without considering the technical criteria regarding accuracy that are usually pursued by cartographers. Maps are selective and partial representations of territory, so their use cannot escape from personal prejudices or political manipulation. There is no doubt that maps are a fundamental tool in geographical explanation and, therefore, a basic instrument for geographers' daily work. It is also a widely used resource in the teaching of geography, usually very disconnected from an authentic geographic education. The paper defends that geographic education has to take on the task of promoting geographic literacy, focused on spatial literacy. In particular, Geography is the school discipline that assumes the responsibility of contributing to the development of spatial thinking or reasoning through cartographic literacy.

This article addresses the use of the Roll20 website for creating thematic maps, used, along with simulation games, as sceneries of a roleplay session of Geography and History. This encourages learning, participation and teamwork. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Endless local and global cartography was generated since the discovery, which relate different scientific and utopian aspects. While, the centuries to come offered a wealth of information, provided especially by the religious orders that visited and traveled our territory. The progress and evolution of this technique was conceived directly by the conquering armies. In the 18th century, with the new administration, knowledge was rethought, not only to the Church, but rather, to the academic world, which together with the military orders were taking over territorial planning. In this way, we can find that Castilla's direct request corresponded to continuing to obtain a cadastre that had to complete the desired Royal Register. Many are the requests for information that covered the territory, directed to the administration on duty and to the religious orders themselves. In particular, the wide spatial development that the Jesuits obtained through in situ knowledge in these latitudes, determined a wide acquisition of territories that they had to return to the Iberian empire. In this process, development and political noise, a drafting engineer makes, at the request of the crown, a report from the Kingdom of Chile. Beyond the preparation of the report, a line that draws and ends at the beginning of the year 1768 draws attention. The Map of the Reyno de Chile, title that delivers and signs as its authorship, raises an enormity of questions that could be useful in operations later of the crown, but the utility and use in the consolidation and reestablishment of the limits of the kingdom as well as the identification of the indicated enemy remains an absolute mystery. Forgotten traces on Higgins's map proposes to rediscover the specific elements indicated in its trace and the relationships that lead to a before and after the kingdom of Chile.

This article tries to express, from the point of view of producer of geographic data and developer of geomatic applications, the different phases involved in a project related to the generation and dissemination of an industrial land map. After exposing a real case executed by our company in the State of Bahia, Brazil, we reflect on the current state of geoinformation that could serve as a basis for the Project in our country and on the actors on which it depends. Finally, we emphasize the opportunity that is presented at the present time to address the National Industrial Land Map project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The implementation of a project such as the Industrial Land Map will require a high dose of coordination among the stakeholders, as well as the correct choice of data formats and technological platforms that support it. The concept of Smart Digital Reality is proposed, an important pillar in Hexagon's strategy, to bridge the gap between reality and digital. It will be necessary to capture information with sensors that include LIDAR and panoramic images, which by means of software tools will generate 3D models such as BIM. The next step will be to have a data management platform that centralizes and normalizes the information captured to make it available to the ecosystem. Finally, the information will be accessible through data visualization and analysis applications that offer very high performance, and the application of Artificial Intelligence techniques for its analysis. Hexagon bets on its Hexagon Digital Reality platform to support this project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work addresses the way geographical space is represented in Mapa dibujado por un espía (2013) by Guillermo Cabrera Infante. Taking into account the notions of Wayne C. Booth and Walter Benjamin regarding the narrator and the role of literature in society, we analyze this formal aspect of the text, the focalization of which proposes a “true” plot. The cartography of La Havana is based on the experience of the Cuban revolutionary reality that contrasts radically with the memories of the capital in the 50s. The historical data and the perception of the protagonist are combined in order to trace his identity, which is a form of the author’s insertion in the text: politics and daily life converge in order to re-map a space in which traditional culture and revolutionary cultural control are contrasted.

This paper presents the first "Prosodic Map of Chile", a long-term project aimed at documenting and describing (both phonetically and phonologically) the suprasegmental features of Chilean Spanish. In order to better appreciate the map's reach, a review of currently implemented similar prosodic maps is provided, including AMPER, ATLES and some others. This review considers what particular parameters are studied in each map, closely inspecting what are the foundations, directions and the overall reach of each one of them. The closing section provides a consideration of some freely available software tools designed to build maps, particularly OpenStreetMap, focusing on its potential for future international collaborative efforts.

The purpose of this research is to approach various subject matter about photography and representation that arise in the novel The Map and the Territory by the french writer Michel Houellebecq. The analysis will circulate through four axes: the first will examine the relationship between the different types of visual representations that appear in that text, then analyze the existing photographic views in the novel, we will continue to understand the interest in the protagonist's maps as a kind of punctum and we will end by deepening the relationship between the death of a loved one with the map and the photograph.

In the manuscript we research the modes that Río Negro Province, in Argentina, was draw since its formation, in 1958, to the cup d'etat in 1976. We frame our study about the territorial schemes and province maps in the previous ways of delineate Patagonian territories. We search the different perspectives, tensions and dynamics that impacted the province configuration. These elements allow us to recognize the temporary nature of graphic representation of territories. They also show the pretension of objectivity and neutrality of them, evidencing the political feature of territorial comprehension which was reflected in the ways of draw the space. As a result, between 1958 to 1976, we found that the different provincial administrations will justified an unequal policy of distribution using a geographical speech, which was presented substantiated the establishment of internal differences.

Considering that "map" is all "graphic representation that facilitates spatial knowledge of things, concepts, conditions, processes or events concerning the human world", the term map refers to many very different images, using different techniques and media, visual languages, and graphic conventions that have changed over time. This paper proposes two methodological categories to address the plurality of the cartographical image without giving up that broad and inclusive definition. The first is the notion of cartographic genre, to classify maps sharing thematic, stylistic, technical or compositional keys. The second is the notion of series, because the composition of a series creates interpretation keys and, consequently, the same map does not communicate the same thing in two different series. The potential and the limitations of these methodological proposals will be discussed with examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The archaeological map of Imías Municipality, Guantánamo province, Cuba, is presented. Twenty seven archaeological places with twenty four of them located and characterized were identified. The characterization of these archaeological places was made from several categories suggested for the Aboriginal Archaeological Census of the Cuban Republic. Authors of this paper considered in our common archaeological practice, the necessity of standardization for systems and methods, in order to new results obtained could be integrate as step process, inside the general academic social environment of the Cuban Archaeology.

From Classical Antiquity to the present days, cartographic representations of the Earth have multiplied. However, not all the territories of the planet have received the same attention. In the case of the African continent, there are few collections of recent maps, especially, of those that are composed of thematic atlases. This circumstance was decisive in determining the focus of the internship in Casa África during academic year 2012- 2013, under the auspices of the Consortium Casa África - University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The objective of the internship was the drawing up of a digital atlas of Africa, which resulted in the carrying out forty thematic maps based on geographical, environmental, demographic, economic, social, geopolitical and cultural indicators, as well as on its economic and political relations with Spain. The drawing up of this atlas was affected by many difficulties related to the searching and processing of the sources of information, as well as by a design and editing work that required the use of new geographical information technologies. This article reflects the importance of Cartography as an essential tool of geographical knowledge and the overcoming of that challenging difficulties such as the drawing up of an atlas about the present conditions of the African continent.

Two expeditions to Ana Maria gulf were carried out on October 2011 and April 2012. The main goal of this expedition was obtain a characterization of natural conditions of the area. Several sites were established as base of this work and one of the most important variables obtained in this expedition was characteristics of sea bottom. Earth Resources Data Analysis System software was use to obtain images classification and ArcGIS software was used to analyze results of this classification and obtain final maps. The most important outcome of this work is present a map describing marine habitats characteristics of a zone of Ana Maria gulf as well as sea bottom characteristics on each place studied as part of this expedition. A total of 65 sites were sampled to determine the characteristics of sea bottom and then classify the area based on these site's characteristics. As a result of this research 78% of the area was classified and four types of sea bottom were identified. It is suggested to visit more sites to identify habitat in order to obtain a classification of unclassified area of Ana Maria gulf. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many names have been used for the different places of Isla del Coco, and some have changed over time. Studying different historic sources, seventy-six names of the main topographic features were collected for Isla del Coco National Park, Costa Rica. These names could be grouped in four main categories: those associated with the British traveler's visitations, the ones related with the republican period of Costa Rica and those linked with the island's terrestrial and marine flora and fauna. The methodology used allowed the proper documentation of seventy-one names. This methodology and the publication of this dictionary intend to generate a feedback regarding the naming of topographic characters of Isla del Coco. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
