La nueva naturaleza de los mapas. Ensayos sobre la historia de la cartografía

Rate this book
La cartografía es algo más que la mera descripción de lugares por medio de mapas, pues éstos son como una mirada hacia el mundo de quien los trazó. La cartografía -anota el autor- es una ciencia capaz de aportar una visión social, y el cartógrafo no sólo debe registrar impresiones del mundo exterior y ser capaz de trasladarlas a la forma gráfica, sino que debe proporcionar una visión más amplia, como corresponde a una construcción social. Los siete ensayos de este libro reflejan la muy personal concepción que tiene Harley de la filosofía de la historia cartográfica y fueron editados y publicados como obra póstuma.

I read this for one of the best history classes I have ever taken in my life and it is honestly one of the most brilliant and revealing books about one of the most formative, innovative, and influential periods of world history. I’ve been using the term “silencing” ever since.

Helpful but not earth-shattering. The book begins with a long disquisition, by one of Harley's contemporaries, that dissects his writings and exposes his inconsistencies, etc. Harley offers useful tips to the map scholar.

Good foundational text, but by the time I got around to reading it the ideas seemed pretty conventional (in terms of any critical inquiry).
