This map traces the American journalist and advertising agent Carl Crow's biographical itinerary, from his birth in Missouri (1883), to his settlement and business activities in Shanghai (1911-1937), to his final return and death in the United States (1937-1945).

Yet this map lacks mobility. Even though each location is associated to a date - in an attempt to put into practice P. Ethington's proposal to "place the past" (Ethingon, 2007 : 465-493), as well as the equivalence made by him and Casey (Casey, 2007 : 510) between places and events - this map fails to trace actors's movements across space and time. Moreover, it loses the "sense of place" (Casey, 2007: 511) - that is, lived space - by reducing human experience to mere dots dispatched on the abstract and rational space of the map.
