Throughout history, maps have been fundamental in shaping our view of the world, and our place in it. But far from being purely scientific objects, maps of the world are unavoidably ideological and subjective, intimately bound up with the systems of power and authority of particular times and places. Mapmakers do not simply represent the world, they construct it out of the ideas of their age. In this scintillating book, Jerry Brotton examines the significance of 12 maps - from the almost mystical representations of ancient history to the satellite-derived imagery of today. He vividly recreates the environments and circumstances in which each of the maps was made, showing how each conveys a highly individual view of the world. Brotton shows how each of his maps both influenced and reflected contemporary events and how, by reading it, we can better understand the worlds that produced it.
Although the way we map our surroundings is changing, Brotton argues that maps today are no more definitive or objective than they have ever been, but that they continue to define, shape and recreate the world. Readers of this book will never look at a map in quite the same way again.
Jerry Brotton is Professor of Renaissance Studies at Queen Mary University of London, and a leading expert in the history of maps and Renaissance cartography. His most recent book, The Sale of the Late King's Goods: Charles I and his Art Collection (2006), was short-listed for the Samuel Johnson Prize as well as the Hessell-Tiltman History Prize. In 2010, he was the presenter of the BBC4 series 'Maps: Power, Plunder and Possession'.
在巴黎莎士比亚书店买的,当时有个很帅很巴黎的男生拿了这本书,我好奇也拿下来翻了翻,觉得还不错,就带回了家。断断续续看了大半年终于看完了,挺有意思的,作者非常会讲故事,但真的很难啃。
评分读得很累……

评分地图之所以令人感兴趣,主要来自两点: 首先,地图企图再现的世界本身不仅仅有无数的经纬坐标构成,而是有不同条件下各种便利和阻碍错综复杂的各种相互作用,这些作用导致各种条件下一次次“世界是平的”等预言先后落空。 其次,地图本身的技术手段必然会导致一定程度的变形或...
评分地图第一次给我震撼的感觉不是源自课本,而是在《康熙王朝》里,斯琴高娃饰演的孝庄皇太后——这个饱经沧桑的老妇人嗫嚅趴在 《康熙皇舆全览图》上拿着放大镜寻索着自己出生的科尔沁大草原。这个人物给我地图的概念不是课本上冰冷的图画,浮在表面的文字不带感情的诉说着地图的...
