This dissertation analyzes aesthetic epistemologies in cartography, a neglected topic in cartographic theory. Using concordance analysis, a method from linguistics, I develop a genealogy of cartographic aesthetics. My genealogy explores how cartography arrived at its current design-based aesthetic epistemologies through studying six aesthetic key words interpreted through philosophy of aesthetics: design, aesthetics, taste, beauty, art, and style. The dissertation consists of eight chapters. Chapter 1 introduces problems associated with aesthetics in cartography: a need for more clarity of usage of aesthetics and related terms, and the dominance of a singular aesthetic, the aesthetics of science and technology. Chapter 2 reviews and synthesizes aesthetic philosophy within cartography, explaining how aesthetics became marginalized within cartographic epistemology. Chapter 3 introduces corpus analysis and describes the selection process to form a representative textbook corpus, as well as the selection of aesthetic key words. Chapter 4 provides a quantitative overview of my concordance analysis results, revealing that usage of the key word design and the key word aesthetic increased across the corpus while all other key words decreased. Chapter 5 provides a history of the aesthetic dimensions of design as a singular noun, identifying aesthetic judgment and value as primary foci of design. Chapter 6 develops a history of aesthetic synonyms and stand-in terms aesthetics, taste, beauty, and art, revealing that as the key word aesthetics increased in use, aesthetics lost clarity of use. Chapter 7 outlines a history of style, which became associated solely with typography by the end of the corpus. Chapter 8 is my conclusion, in which I explain how design and aesthetics gained meanings while taste, beauty, art, and style lost meanings. I identify aesthetic attention and experience as underutilized concepts within cartography's aesthetic language and opportunities for cartographic aesthetic development.
