A state can experience anxiety when it is subject to the “cartographic aggression” (de Blij 2012) of another. Anxiety can also be found in the gap between state representations and the imaginaries held by the citizens of that state, or between a dominant majority and an ethnic, religious, or political minority (Cons 2016). Further, it can have different temporal resonances in that the gap can index the nostalgic mourning for past territorial grandeur (Callahan 2010; Cartier 2013), evoke a programmatic future (Fortna 2002), or offer poetic and corporealized visions of the nation-state (Ramaswamy 2010).The five articles in this special issue explore various political and cultural reverberations of cartography, as well as the complex set of discursive practices in which it is embedded. The discussion framing these papers began as a panel at the 2016 American Association of Geographers’ annual meeting, which included four of the authors featured here (Akin, Billé, Roszko, and Saxer). The contributions focus on China and its neighbors from the perspective of different disciplines: anthropology (Billé, Roszko, Saxer), history (Akin), and history of art (Tsultemin). In addition to bringing a cohesive and coherent focus to the special issue, this geographic convergence is timely given China’s recent economic and political trajectory. In tracing and analyzing the cartographic tremors of a geopolitical formation in flux, the different articles offer an outline of the mechanics of “cartographic anxiety” and together contribute to a better understanding of the affective power of mapping.Editor’s Note Note to ReadersWen-hsin Yeh, University of California, Berkeley and Sungtaek Cho, Korea UniversityArticlesCartographic Anxieties Introduction to "Cartographic Anxieties"Franck Billé, University of California, Berkeley Fishers and Territorial Anxieties in China and Vietnam: Narratives of the South China Sea Beyond the Frame of the NationEdyta Roszko, University of Copenhagen The "Da Ming Hunyi Tu": Repurposing a Ming Map in Sino-African DiplomacyAlexander Akin, Bolerium Books Cartographic Anxieties in Mongolia: The Bogd Khan's Picture-MapUranchimeg Tsultemin, University of California, Berkeley On China's Cartographic Embrace: A View from Its Northern RimFranck Billé, University of California, Berkeley A Spectacle of Maps: Cartographic Hopes and Anxieties in the PamirsMartin Saxer, Ludwig Maximilian University of MunichReview Essays, Notes &#38; Bibliographies[À noter : la plupart des ouvrages recensés dans cette rubrique sont disponibles à la bibliothèque du CECMC].
