Cultural differences among societies have produced also differences in the way the world is view in a cartographic way. Atlases are meant to comunicate such view of the world, and use maps as arguments. The differences in the atlases produced in different cultures allows the comparison of different things for the same region, and similar things for different regions.

The Spring School presented the evolution and importance of maps throughout time and space in history. It also presented how the usage of maps can benefit in the interpretation of non-map related pieces of work, like literature and cinema.
