New Literary Drawing Method, A Passage to India, ArcGISAbstract
In the study, how to use ArcGIS digital mapping technology to visualize the fictional spaces in literary works will be explored. Taking E.M. Forster's A Passage to India as an example, historical maps will be selected as base maps, and geographical information from the text will be collected and categorized. Maps of key scenes, such as Chandrapore, will be created in ArcGIS. Literary cartography can visually present the spatial layout and character movement trajectories in a literary work, providing a new perspective for text interpretation and helping to deepen the understanding of the themes and relationships between characters.
