           I take the 33 bus to campus on a whim. I'm running late to teach and I don't want to deal with the hassle of Broadway construction. <i>Why have I never taken the 33?</i> I wonder as a 5 minute walk brings me to a deserted stop. I sit on a bench in the sun to catch my breath. The 33 is one of the smaller buses. Its seats have that soft fabric patterned like a roller rink carpet. Riding the 33 is outside my routine. Its route takes me through places I've been before but have never connected by this route. I write these thoughts in the white space of a book I brought with me - <i>A History of My Brief Body</i> by Billy-Ray Belcourt.

           "...navigation entails the production of a performative cartography of a terrain, field, or domain that is constituted in the very act of its exploration" (Tuin and Verhoeff 2022, 137). Exploration, put one way, is <a href="https://bit.ly/3XeFxZw" target="_blank">"the action of traveling in or through an unfamiliar area in order to learn about it."</a> Though the field (city, body of academic literature) is at first unknown and therefore unfamiliar,   <a href="edies/iteration.html" target="_blank">iterative </a> navigation coheres a web of spatial relations that serves as reference. This is how I conceive of a mental map.  Unlike google’s two dimensional map that navigates me directly from A to B, mental maps are composed (and decomposed) through nonlinear navigations that form "those invisible lines of people, places, and networks that create the most common spaces we live in today" (Kurgan 2013, 17).

Rather, “the city” is performatively constituted as a physical-conceptual field of encounter whose emergent topology is drawn through everyday navigations. As such, the city and I - field and researcher - are entangled, continuously figured and reconfiguring in dynamic relation.

+      Maps of Vancouver which depict it as a collection of points, lines, and polygons serve to cohere the city as a proper––a noun, a place––through fixating “an instantaneous configuration of positions” (de Certeau 1984, 94). Yet to constitute place as a coordinated grid, to collapse vertical negotiations and make the messiness of the city legible as a proper, flat maps must elide the navigations/arts of inhabitation productive of urban space.
