Cognitive mapping is a code word for a new kind of global class consciousness

Evidence

“Cognitive mapping” was in reality nothing but a code word for “class consciousness” — only it proposed the need for class consciousness of a new and hitherto undreamed of kind, while it also inflected the account in the direction of that new spatiality implicit in the postmodern (which Ed Soja’s Postmodern Geographies now places on the agenda in so eloquent and timely a fashion). — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 893
