Abstract
Abstract Blank space on a map represents a region of the globe that has remained unreached, untouched, unclaimed. As such, it is also a challenge, something to be conquered and possessed, as well as something to be feared. Not merely placeholders, words to fill the empty space on a map, “terra incognita” are also the articulation of a challenge to fill that space with words, with narratives. More specifically, they are a challenge to fill that empty space with proper names claiming it. As an aporia to be assigned meaning, the blank space functions as a site for the inscription of identity.
