Rooted in the concepts of critical and popular cartography, this paper presents an evaluation of selected zoo maps from the Philadelphia and Brookfield (Chicago) Zoos, dating from between 1886 and 1949. The maps are analysed as texts that reveal narratives about the place of zoos as socio-cultural institutions, and the changing context of human-animal relations. We focus on the overall cartographic style shifts, and very specifically on the shifts in animal representation in the maps, across two distinct periods, namely scientific 'plan maps' and tourist-oriented 'cartoon maps'. We argue that historical zoo maps reveal much about past social norms and values concerned with zoos and the animals in them, and thus can tell us 'stories' that reveal the cultural heritage of zoos. They contribute to the overall impression that visitors develop of both zoos and of animals/nature more generally, and as such require further research and examination.

We hypothesize that overlaying a highly gendered social behaviour (eldercare) onto the distinctive time-space geographies of men and women will translate into demonstrably different “eldercare geographies”. Analysis of data from two interrelated CARNET surveys suggests that female and male caregivers provide assistance within very different time-space contexts. Women demonstrate greater engagement with caregiving and more extensive commitments to travel in order to provide assistance. This “distance-defying” behaviour translates into the use of residential relocation as a means of modifying time-space in order to improve caregiving provision. In contrast, male caregivers are more sensitive to the limiting effects of time-distance, including the manipulation of their eldercare geographies. The paper concludes with a discussion, based on comments made by caregivers, of the negative impacts of eldercare involvement, focussing on perceived effects on personal time for other family relationships.
