Résumé
"Lines of Power: The Imperial Map" offers a provocative re-examination of the history of cartography, arguing that maps were not just tools for navigation, but powerful instruments of imperial conquest and control. This book uncovers the "lines of power" drawn by cartographers, exposing how these seemingly objective representations of space were used to legitimize land grabs, define spheres of influence, and erase indigenous populations.
It reveals the hidden mechanics of a "cartographic authority" that shaped the global political landscape. The reader will explore the shift from descriptive, pre-modern maps to precise, mathematical cartography, analyzing the role of maps in the "scramble for Africa" and other colonial expansions. The text deconstructs the political and ideological agendas embedded in maps, showing how they were used to project power and create a sense of national identity.
It is a journey into the intersection of science, art, and empire. "Lines of Power: The Imperial Map" is an essential guide for students of history, cartography, and political science. It offers a critical perspective on the power of representation, arguing that we must learn to decode the hidden agendas of the maps that have shaped our world.
