<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks for these insights, Dan. I'm glad to have the chance to think with you and everyone about how mapping has historically been exploited and is now corrupted under Bolsonaro and the far right more generally... adds another node in considering connections between the post-truth era, late capitalism, media, and post-Enlightenment....<br></div><div><br></div><div>And thank you everyone for participating this week -- Brian, Lucas, Sergio, Fabi, Escher, Oliver, Ana, Dawn, Dean, Lucio, and Dan -- big gratitude. Gratitude especially to the folks from Brazil for taking the time to give -empyre- news and profound insight, ways to support the fight.

Bringing it back to the AMAZON IS BURNING subject line, I guess the point is to try to pry apart the cartographic artifact from the territory it depicts.
