Trail of Footprints offers an intimate glimpse into the commission, circulation, and use of indigenous maps from colonial Mexico. A collection of sixty largely unpublished maps from the late ...sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries and made in the southern region of Oaxaca anchors an analysis of the way ethnically diverse societies produced knowledge in colonial settings. Mapmaking, proposes Hidalgo, formed part of an epistemological shift tied to the negotiation of land and natural resources between the region’s Spanish, Indian, and mixed-race communities. The craft of making maps drew from social memory, indigenous and European conceptions of space and ritual, and Spanish legal practices designed to adjust spatial boundaries in the New World. Indigenous mapmaking brought together a distinct coalition of social actors—Indian leaders, native towns, notaries, surveyors, judges, artisans, merchants, muleteers, collectors, and painters—who participated in the critical observation of the region’s geographic features. Demand for maps reconfigured technologies associated with the making of colorants, adhesives, and paper that drew from Indian botany and experimentation, trans-Atlantic commerce, and Iberian notarial culture. The maps in this study reflect a regional perspective associated with Oaxaca’s decentralized organization, its strategic position amidst a network of important trade routes that linked central Mexico to Central America, and the ruggedness and diversity of its physical landscape.
Le present travail expose les resultats de notre étude concernant la cartographie et l'estimation de l'érosion hydrique selon deux types de méthodes. La premiere, est celle de PAP/CAR 1998 agisse ...dans le cadre du Plan d'action pour la Méditerranée (PAM) du PNUE, la seconde est celle du modele empirique de WISCHMEIER et SMITH 1978 (USLE). Dans le bassin versant de l'Oued Amlil (153.7 km2) situé au Nord-Ouest de Taza (Nord-Est du Maroc), toutes les conditions de déclenchement et d'accélération de l'érosion hydrique sont présentent, des formations lithologiques marneuses tendres et imperméables (71.5%), un couvert végétal tres limité (13.2%), et des précipitations agressives et intenses. L'analyse des données naturelles du bassin versant par la méthode de PAP/CAR a permis d'identifier cinq principaux types d'érosion (érosion tres élevée 23%, 48% pour l'érosion élevée, la classe d'érosion notable représente 22%, 6% et 1% pour les classes d'érosion faibles et tres faible respectivement. Ensuite, les pertes en sol ont été estimées par la méthode d'USLE, les résultats obtenus permettent l'identification des secteurs a l'échelle du bassin ou les pertes connaissent des valeurs élevées 62.3% (risque forte entre 66 et 102 t/ha/an (34%), et tres fort (26.2%) entre 102 et 355.6 t/ha/an).
Giants, cannibals and other monsters were a regular feature of Renaissance illustrated maps, inhabiting the Americas alongside other indigenous peoples. In a new approach to views of distant peoples, ...Surekha Davies analyzes this archive alongside prints, costume books and geographical writing. Using sources from Iberia, France, the German lands, the Low Countries, Italy and England, Davies argues that mapmakers and viewers saw these maps as careful syntheses that enabled viewers to compare different peoples. In an age when scholars, missionaries, native peoples and colonial officials debated whether New World inhabitants could – or should – be converted or enslaved, maps were uniquely suited for assessing the impact of environment on bodies and temperaments. Through innovative interdisciplinary methods connecting the European Renaissance to the Atlantic world, Davies uses new sources and questions to explore science as a visual pursuit, revealing how debates about the relationship between humans and monstrous peoples challenged colonial expansion.
While the twentieth century's conflicting visions and exploitation of the Middle East are well documented, the origins of the concept of the Middle East itself have been largely ignored. With ...Dislocating the Orient, Daniel Foliard tells the story of how the land was brought into being, exploring how maps, knowledge, and blind ignorance all participated in the construction of this imagined region. Foliard vividly illustrates how the British first defined the Middle East as a geopolitical and cartographic region in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through their imperial maps. Until then, the region had never been clearly distinguished from "the East" or "the Orient." In the course of their colonial activities, however, the British began to conceive of the Middle East as a separate and distinct part of the world, with consequences that continue to be felt today. As they reimagined boundaries, the British produced, disputed, and finally dramatically transformed the geography of the area—both culturally and physically—over the course of their colonial era.Using a wide variety of primary texts and historical maps to show how the idea of the Middle East came into being, Dislocating the Orient will interest historians of the Middle East, the British empire, cultural geography, and cartography.
RESUMEN El célebre mapa piublicado en Roma por Alonso de Ovalle en su Histórica Relación del Reyno de Chile en 1646, así como la versión en gran formato cuyos únicos ejemplares hasta ahora conocidos ...se encuentran en la Biblioteca Nacional de Francia en París -dos copias- y la biblioteca John Carter Brown en Providence, Rhode Island, representan no solo el territorio histórico de la gobernación de Chile, sino que proyecta, en una pretensión no observada en la cartografía de su tiempo, la extensión de dicha gobernación hacia la región magallánica, incluyendo el cabo de Hornos. ¿Por qué se aventuró el jesuita a representar el estrecho de Magallanes como parte de una continuidad natural de Chile? Alonso de Ovalle, cartografía, estrecho de Magallanes ABSTRACT The famous map prublished in Rome by Alonso de Ovalle in his Historical Relation of the Reyno de Chile in 1646, as well as the large-format version whose only copies so far known are in the National Library of France in Paris -two copies- and the John Carter Brown Library in Providence, Rhode Island, represent not only the historical territory of the Chilean government, but it projects in a pretention not observed in the cartography of its time, the extension of said government towards the Magellan region, including the Cape Horn. Why did the Jesuit venture to represent the Strait of Magellan as part of a natural continuity in Chile? Posteriormente continuó sus estudios en el Colegio jesuita de la misma ciudad, por lo que su estancia allí coincidió con la fundación de la Universidad en 1622 en el mismo colegio donde se formaba en filosofía y teología.
