Resumen:
The dominant practice in map studies has been to consider maps as ?sovereign,? as Christian Jacob put it: as individual images separated from the material context of their production, circulation, and consumption. Yet many maps are located within, and contribute to the larger arguments of, books of all kinds, including histories, geographies, travel accounts, and novels. This essay asks what changes theoretically and in practice when we dethrone the ´sovereign map´ and engage with maps as ?bound images,? a hybrid graphic and textual part of the stories told by authors and printers in book form. By way of conclusion, we offer an approach to analyzing maps in context.
