Rather than remaining within known terrain, they open up paradigms of knowledge, exemplified by the map’s edges and how a map is read, made and re-made, together. \u003cem\u003eThe Word for World\u003c\/em\u003e brings her maps together with poems, stories, interviews, recipes and essays by contributors from a variety of perspectives to enquire into the relationship between worlds and how they are represented and imagined. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eContributors: Federico Campagna, Theo Downes-Le Guin, Daniel Heath Justice, Bhanu Kapil, Canisia Lubrin, Una McCormack, David Naimon, Nisha Ramayya, Shoshone Collective, Standard Deviation, Marilyn Strathern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[publishers’ note]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silver Press,AA Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57358259454292,"sku":"A8B-36411","price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/9609\/6596\/files\/the_20word_20for_20world.jpg?v=1790814563","url":"https:\/\/after8books.com\/products\/the-word-for-world-the-maps-of-ursula-k-le-guin","provider":"After 8 Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
