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'.
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.
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...

評分在《裴洞篇》中,苏格拉底曾想象自己升入空中俯瞰地球的场景——“据说它从上面看时好像一个由十二块皮子包裹的球,呈各种不同的颜色,我们在这里看到的颜色只是它们的摹本,像画家所画的那样。” 这本书的十二章地图来自人类历史各个时期,也呈现着各自迥异的色彩,...
