Résumé / Abstract
Representing time-space produced by transport means belongs to the major aims of cartography, addressing the questions of where and at which distance are places. In this field, the limits of the usual topographic maps have been challenged with isochrones (e.g. O'Sullivan et al., 2000), anamorphic cartography (e.g. Forer, 1978) and shriveled maps (Mathis, 1990; L'Hostis, 2009). In this paper, we will explore the latter approach. We will first explain this representation method, and will then illustrate the usefulness of this graphical model to illustrate the impact of increasing speed on the geographical space. The higher the speed, the more geographical space shrivels and transforms into a complex shape (L'Hostis and Abdou, 2021).
