<p>Hope A Olson's text "Mapping Beyond Dewey's Boundaries" on spatial representations in classification systems, explored through a project that attempted to cross-reference two classification systems - <a class="external text" href="https://www.amazon.com/Womens-Thesaurus-Index-Language-Ellen/dp/0061811718" rel="nofollow"><i>A Woman's Thesaurus</i></a> and Dewey Decimal Classification by <a class="external text" href="http://capekconsulting.com/about-mary-ellen-capek/" rel="nofollow">Mary Ellen S Capek</a>. Stating that "classifications are locational systems" suggests that spatial representations can be used with various effect; describing, exposing, and when used as metaphors, shifting the discourse.
|
|
|
</p><p><b>1. Spatial representation of classification systems reveals the ideological conditions that form them.</b>
|
|
|
</p><p>Olson refers to spatial representations of classification systems in the form of diagrams.
|
|
|
</p><p>The first diagram is one that shows distribution of subjects, with the idea of a mainstream core that diffuses towards the margins. The second is a Venn diagram that illustrates how "mainstream" or "core" descriptors actually eventuate in very small "cores" due to limitations by Boolean "ands'. Venn diagrams operate on the basis of duality - something is or isn't part of a set.<br>

</p><p><b>2. The concepts of "paradoxical space" and "rhetorical space". </b>
|
|
|
</p><p>Paradoxical space is described in a similar way to the paranodal; being "both inside and outside, center and margins".
|
|
|

|
|
|
<p>How to utilise a "paradoxical space"? The text seems to suggest focusing on connections, relationships between subjects rather than differences? What could an associative classification system look like?
|
|
|
</p><p>The space of a page is crucial in the printed format - the text block excludes the margin - clearly delineating what is recognized as authored, and what is not. Book printing has many terms to cut up a page into a layout - deciding on "safe areas" to print and areas to leave open. In my own experience, shaping the text block is the first consideration when laying out a page.

|
|
</p><p>However, some formats of digital books (e.g. EPUB) do not have the notion of a page. There is the space of the screen, but this is mutable, whereas a printed page is not.
