Mapping Whitman’s New York
Mapping has been something of an undercurrent in our class so far:
When Claire Fontaine visited our class a few weeks ago, she spoke about the process of connecting flickr photographs to google maps (see her posts here and here for more info).
I’ve assigned you a “then and now” photography assignment in which you are to write a blog post that showcases a historical photo of a location mentioned by Whitman or important to his life and matches it with a photo that you’ve taken yourself of the same location. Ideally, we would then locate all of these photos on map and build together a collaborative map of Whitman’s New York.
