North, south, east and west: almost all societies use the four
cardinal directions to orientate themselves, to understand who they
are by projecting where they are. For millennia, these four
directions have been foundational to our travel, navigation and
exploration and are central to the imaginative, moral and political
geography of virtually every culture in the world. Yet they are far
more subjective and various – sometimes contradictory – than we
might realize.The Four Points of the Compass takes the reader on a
journey of directional discovery. Jerry Brotton reveals why Hebrew
culture privileges east; why Renaissance Europeans began drawing
north at the top of their maps; why the early Islam revered the
south; why the Aztecs used five colour-coded cardinal directions;
and why no societies, primitive or modern, have ever orientated
themselves westwards. He ends by reflecting on our digital age in
which we, the little blue dot on the screen, have become the most
important compass point.Throughout, Brotton shows that the
directions reflect a human desire to create order and that they
only have meaning, literally and metaphorically, depending on where
you stand.
