ABSTRACT
Reading against the humanist credentials and conceits of mapping, this chapter essays and examines the spectre of a posthuman cartography. Acknowledging, at the same time, a sense of Anthropocenic disorientation, this chapter poses the question: what is peculiar, or strange, about this contemporary moment of loss and bewilderment? Relatedly, what role does cartography, the art of space, play in the cultivation and modulation of what Franco Berardi describes as, ‘The Third Unconscious’, the current threshold of a posthuman subjectivity? In response, this chapter argues that cartography, for so long understood as the most quintessential of humanistic endeavours, is central to the propagation, and indeed liberation, of posthuman subjectivities, dispositions and disorientations.
