ordering the borders
oral-2 Our view and their view(s)
You two work for two rival newspaper Regio7 and El nou 9 and are deciding to cooperate in a 8-page cultural supplement called It needn't be a self-centric world.
Have a look at both pics, try to discuss which is the best image to include as a cover in our supplement. The images are these:
- the famous sculpture in the London School of Economics The world upside down (2019)
- a UNESCO-promoted project (1976) to offer a more realistic view of a world map with the real size of your country: Peters' map (1979)
You may use these 2 sets with bullet points in you discussion:
- Your own reaction to one picture
- How successful would you say the supplement may be?
- Why might people criticise your cover?
set2
- What other pieces could be used?
- some political implications
- your readership knowledge

McArthur's Universal Corrective Map of the World has a fabulous history,
made by an Australian who was tormented for coming ...
from the "bottom of the world". It was the first modern south-up map,
published in 1979
the most famous and controversial map has been Peters world map.He devised a map based on Gall's orthographic projection in 1967 and presented it in 1973 as a "new invention." He promoted it as a superior alternative to the Mercator projection, which was suited to navigation but also used commonly in world maps. The Mercator projection increasingly inflates the sizes of regions according to their distance from the equator
