Question

Matthew Edney compared this discipline to pornography, citing an image of the Virgin Mary created by Vincente de Memije. A scholar in this discipline becomes obsessed with his mistress’s birthmarks in a “Fantastic” series by François Schuiten (“fran-SWAH SKOY-ten”) and Benoît Peeters (“ben-NWAH PEE-ters”). The product of this discipline is compared to an “uneven dialogue” tilted to the elite in a Brian Harley paper on “Knowledge and Power.” Photozincography allowed for the first major projects in this discipline by Britain’s (-5[1])OS. Loxodromes are created in the marine (10[1])subfield of this discipline (10[1])by (-5[1])ECDIS. (10[1])Modern deconstruction of this discipline criticizes plagiarism deterrents called paper towns (10[5])and (10[2])conformal (10[4])images. (10[5]-5[1])This (10[1])discipline inputs cadastral surveys (10[1])into GIS software to produce images adjusted for projection. For 10 points, name this discipline of creating maps. (10[2])■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: cartography [accept gynocartography; prompt on making maps or equivalents by asking “what is the name of the field?”; prompt on making nautical charts or equivalents; prompt on geography; prompt on geoinformatics; prompt on surveying until “surveys” is read; prompt on GIS or ArcGIS by asking “used in what discipline?”] (de Memije’s image depicted the Virgin Mary imposed over the Spanish Empire. The second sentence refers to Cities of the Fantastic. Harley wrote “Maps, Knowledge, and Power.” The OS is the Ordnance Survey.)
