Abstrakt:
As map makers, circulators, and consumers, travelers have increasingly become subjects of interest to map historians. This is not surprising because maps have been important to travelers for centuries, as forms of inspiration, support, and documentation. Perhaps as importantly, digitization of many travelers’ manuscript diaries, maps, and correspondence as well as published narratives has opened new lines of inquiry as well as expanded access to materials beyond physical collections through online portals. This presentation considers the map making and use of a select group of footloose eighteenth- to early twentieth-century women travelers, primarily from Europe and North America, as well as the maps published to accompany their travel narratives. It explores patterns of experience and representations in their work and in dialogue with that of male peers and travel companions.
Přednášku pořádá Výzkumné centrum historické geografie HÚ AV ČR ve spolupráci s Katedrou pomocných věd historických a archivního studia Filozofické fakulty Univerzity Karlovy.
