Abstract

Todd Presner is Ross Professor of Germanic Languages, Comparative Literature, and Jewish Studies at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). He is Associate Dean of Digital Innovation in the Division of the Humanities and is also the Chair of the Digital Humanities Program at UCLA. His research focuses on European intellectual history, the history of media, visual culture, digital humanities, and cultural geography. He is the co–author of HyperCities: Thick Mapping in the Digital Humanities (Harvard University Press, 2014) and the forthcoming co–authored book, Urban Humanities: New Practices for Reimagining the City (MIT Press, 2020). From 2005–2015, Presner was director of HyperCities, a collaborative, digital mapping platform that explores the layered histories of city spaces. Awarded one of the first “digital media and learning” prizes by the MacArthur Foundation/HASTAC in 2008, HyperCities was designed to be an interactive, web–based research and teaching environment for authoring and analyzing the cultural, architectural, and urban history of cities. Although the original site is no longer live, the HyperCities concept lives on in the Urban and Digital Humanities programs at UCLA.

In this issue number 19 of TECCOGS magazine, we address the theme "Digital intelligence of cartography". We gather reflections on the relations between cartographic language and cognitive processes, especially in the context of digital mapping technologies. Cartography is a research object that requires an interdisciplinary look. The map, its main artifact, attracts studies that have long gone beyond geography, embracing disciplines such as cognitive sciences, computing, history, communication, and semiotics itself. However, there is a point in common in all these approaches: the interest in the interpretive potential provided by the different representations of space.
