Potrzeba mapy. Prace kartograficzne polskich emigrantów
Journal Title: Wiek XIX. Rocznik Towarzystwa Literackiego im. Adama Mickiewicza - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The article makes use of interdisciplinary tools (history of cartography, literary history) and it focuses on nineteenth century democratization of cartography – i.e. civilisational change whereby maps usage and drawing became more and more widespread social need. Maps and charts created by Polish emigrants after November Uprising (1830) might be considered an excellent sample of this need for “spatial/visual thinking,” which resulted in various cartographical representations of the nineteenth-century reality in all its most important aspects (communication, colonization, statistics, war). A map itself proves to be a significant part of Romantic culture, while cartographers – on a par with literary writers – might be regarded as this culture’s originators.
