Mapping Space, Sense, and Movement in Florence

Historical GIS and the Early Modern City

Herausgeber: Terpstra, Nicholas; Rose, Colin

Beschreibung

Mapping Space, Sense, and Movement in Florence explores the potential of digital mapping or Historical GIS as a research and teaching tool. It considers two digital research projects: DECIMA, a GIS tool, and a smartphone app called Hidden Florence. Using these two projects, it explores how such projects are created; how they facilitate more collaborative models for historical research; and how they foster an interrogation of older historical interpretations and the creation of new models of analysis and communication. Illustrated throughout, this volume will be essential reading for scholars of early modern Italy, the Renaissance and digital humanities.
