The document discusses the concept of "autocartography", which is creating a map-like composition to write one's autobiography. It provides examples of medieval "mappae mundi", or maps of the world, as models for autocartography since they incorporated personal and cultural elements rather than just geography. The document then summarizes several specific medieval maps and their features, and provides questions to help structure an individual's autocartography process by reflecting on important people, places, stories and histories from their life.
