Maps are so fucking passe, thanks to any number of bad art projects.

Language and its discontents/disconnects.
Um do redux.
Passe/relevant:
-narrative art+writing
-maps
-video art
-theories re. games & play
-craft in the contemporary world
-knitting
-gender, race, and class
-critiques around academic pedagogy (anthropology, anyone).
-virtual reality
-the internet
-sci fi and fantasy; aesthetics of/supporting.
-liminal and "post-" rhetorical studies
