Popis: Centuries of trade have left their traces in the culture and society of port cities. This paper explores the usefulness of the concept ���maritime mindset��� to recognize these traces, and analyses it from different disciplinary perspectives. In the second part, it proposes the practice of ���deep mapping��� as a methodology of identifying and documenting expressions of maritime culture and trade in public space. In conclusion, it addresses some questions that are crucial when addressing a maritime mindset, such as whether it is a top-down or bottom-up mindset, which spatial scale it entails, and whose values and interests the mindset represents. Ultimately, we argue that (deep) mapping can play a role in producing a more layered spatial, social and cultural understanding of the complex nature of port cities.
