 Before delving into the discussion a common misconception needs to be dispelled. The misconception is that a representation is a mirror image, a copy, or an imitation of the thing it represents. On this view representation is ipso facto realistic representation. This is a mistake. Representations can be realistic, but they need not. And representations certainly need not be copies of the real thing, an observation exploited by Lewis Carroll and Jorge Luis Borges in their satires, Sylvie and Bruno and On Exactitude in Science respectively, about cartographers who produce maps as large as the country itself only to see them abandoned (for a discussion see Boesch 2021). Throughout this review we encounter positions that make room for non-realistic representation and hence testify to the fact that representation is a much broader notion than  mirroring.[7]
