IHTA Seminar 19 May 2017

Seminar: Mapping Townscapes: comparative perspectives through the Irish and British Historic Towns Atlases
When: 19 May 2017
Time: 9.45am registration
Where: Royal Irish Academy, 19 Dawson Street, Dublin 2
Registration: Free to attend, but booking required to secure your place<http://ihta.us9.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=3f15c9d3f21607c68a6ce980b&id=818e8ddfad&e=b09d0de05e>

Early maps and town plans are vital sources in understanding townscapes and are used to create historical maps that form such an important element of all historic town atlases. In collaboration with the British Historic Towns Atlas/Historic Towns Trust (HTT)<http://ihta.us9.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=3f15c9d3f21607c68a6ce980b&id=edd0bd415e&e=b09d0de05e>, the 2017 annual seminar of the Irish Historic Towns Atlas (IHTA)<http://ihta.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f15c9d3f21607c68a6ce980b&id=33cdf811f1&e=b09d0de05e> focuses especially on historic and historical maps. Looking at urban mapping in both Britain and Ireland across five centuries, the Mapping Townscapes seminar will open up new comparative perspectives on the Irish and British historic town atlases, as well as offer new insights into the past, present and future cartographic connections between our two neighbouring islands.
In association with the Irish Walled Towns Network<http://ihta.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f15c9d3f21607c68a6ce980b&id=038c2cbee3&e=b09d0de05e>

Subject: Jesuit Cartography Call for Papers

Submissions welcome! Please pass along to those who might be interested.  It will be broadly comparative--so not just for East Asianists.

Call for Papers:
Special Issue on Jesuit Cartography, August 2018
Journal of Jesuit Studies
Editor Robert Batchelor
Abstracts Due: Friday, May 19, 2017

As witnessed by the recent exhibition of the world maps of Matteo Ricci and Ferdinand Verbiest at the San Francisco Asian Art Museum, Jesuit cartography still incites public curiosity centuries after the maps were made.  While Jesuit science and mathematics have been the subject of much study, especially in the context of East Asia, the broader and more diverse practices of Jesuit cartography around the world have proven more elusive.  At the same time, significant scholarly and public interest remains about both the nature of Jesuit cartography and the longer-term influence it had on the process of imagining localities, nations, empires and cosmologies.  Is there coherence to the category ?Jesuit cartography??  If so, what created this coherence aside from the Jesuit order itself?  How did Jesuit cartography emerge in tandem with indigenous mapping traditions?  And finally, why did Jesuit cartography have such important effects on a global scale?

The Journal of Jesuit Studies seeks to publish an issue devoted to Jesuit Cartography that will include an overview of the current state of the field of Jesuit cartography along with six topical articles in August of 2018.  Abstracts of proposed submissions should be 500 words or less, and are due by Friday, May 19, 2017.  Full articles should be approximately 7000 words, including footnotes, and will be due by October 1, 2017.  A summary article and bibliography by the issue editor on the historiography of Jesuit cartography will be available to contributors.

Contributions might focus on particular maps, cosmological or geographical mapping, particular cartographers and groups of cartographers, mapping and printing techniques, indirect influences of Jesuit mapping in places like Korea, Russia or Japan or on cartographic techniques in places with Jesuit schools like France, transcultural cooperation in creating and disseminating maps, maps as establishing relations between fields of study (cartography and mathematics, linguistics, natural history, aesthetics, or religion), and institutional practices as observatories in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries among other topics.  Papers that combine novel archival work and a broader engagement with conceptual or theoretical approaches to Jesuit cartography are especially welcome.  Geographic diversity and use of comparative approaches to different regions will factor into considerations of the issue as a whole.  Potential contributors should consult the comparative, historical and critical approaches pioneered in J. B. Harley and David Woodward?s The History of Cartography (1987+) as well as J. B. Harley?s seminal article ?The Map as Mission? (1991), more recent work on the sociology of knowledge and science, and/or data- and simulation-driven digital humanities and historical geography models as baselines for methodology.  All papers will be published in English, although help with translation can be arranged.

Color and black and white images are possible and should be tentatively proposed with the abstract as a list (separate from the word count). Acquisition of publication-quality image files and rights to reproduce are the responsibility of the author.  A permanent website resource separate from the journal will be available to contributors who wish to publish extra reference images.

The Journal of Jesuit Studies is published in cooperation with the Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies at Boston College.  It has four issues per year, three of which are thematic and one of which is open JJS is published by Brill and is peer reviewed, fully open access and is part of Reuters Thomson Web of Science Indexing (see http://www.brill.com/products/journal/journal-jesuit-studies).

As witnessed by the recent exhibition of the world maps of Matteo Ricci and
Ferdinand Verbiest at the San Francisco Asian Art Museum, Jesuit
cartography still arouses public curiosity centuries after the maps were
made.  While Jesuit science and mathematics have been the subject of much
study, especially in the context of East Asia, the broader and more diverse
practices of Jesuit cartography around the world have proven more elusive.
At the same time, significant scholarly and public interest remains about
both the nature of Jesuit cartography and the longer-term influence it had
on the process of imagining localities, nations, empires and cosmologies.
Is there coherence to the category ?Jesuit cartography??  If so, what
created this coherence aside from the Jesuit order itself?  How did Jesuit
cartography emerge in tandem with indigenous mapping traditions?  And
finally, why did Jesuit cartography have such important effects on both
national and global scales?



The *Journal of Jesuit Studies* seeks to publish an issue devoted to Jesuit
Cartography that will include an overview of the current state of the field
of Jesuit cartography along with six topical articles in August of 2018.

Contributions might focus on particular maps, cosmological or geographical
mapping, particular cartographers and groups of cartographers, mapping and
printing techniques, indirect influences of Jesuit mapping in places like
Korea, Russia or Japan or on cartographic techniques in places with Jesuit
schools like France, transcultural cooperation in creating and

Subject: [ISHMap-List] 'Mapping the maps' Blog about Burmese maps on cloth
Message-ID: <198f77c2-c9ae-94a7-fd89-1b72beda10e7@cam.ac.uk>

Dear colleagues

Cambridge University Library Map Department has three spectacular, and 
very large, maps of parts of Burma painted on cloth by Burmese artists 
some time around 1860.

These have been digitised and are available for viewing on the Library's 
Digital Library at:
https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/search?keyword=burma%20maps&page=1&x=0&y=0 
where, needless to say, it is much easier to see the detail than with 
the real things!

The 'rediscovery' of these maps a few years ago has prompted a flurry of 
research activity.

We are very grateful to Natasha Pairaudeau of Cambridge University 
(http://www.histecon.magd.cam.ac.uk/Natasha_Pairaudeau.htm) for writing 
a wide ranging, informative and fascinating blog about her research 
which has traced some of the connections that have been uncovered - 
from Burma through Cambridge to Toronto and beyond.
