Drag, scroll or use the arrow keys to move through the map. Select a title to open its page.

Relations maps how the works, projects and pages of this site refer to one another: the people, places and series they share, what one shows of another, and the words that come back between them. The quotations come from the pages of the site and from my curriculum vitæ; those marked ‘Earlier website wording’ come from an earlier version of the page named. A relation marked (inferred) rests on a shared word, name or number that the pages do not connect themselves; the map draws it dashed. The title comes from P+, where each family has its typeface: ‘BARBEDOR STD BOLD Relations’.

Relations as a PDF: the whole map on one sheet, 1189 × 629 mm, where each word opens its page. I took the idea of this page from Édouard Glissant’s thought of Relation (Poétique de la Relation, 1990).

For the formal record, see the Curriculum Vitæ; for a narrative, the Biography; for the years in order, the Chronology; for the whole site, the Index.
