Nature, Empire, and Nation : Explorations of the History of Science in the Iberian World Paperback / softback
by Jorge Canizares-Esguerra
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
This collection of essays explores two traditions of interpreting and manipulating nature in the early-modern and nineteenth-century Iberian world: one instrumental and imperial, the other patriotic and national.
Imperial representations laid the ground for the epistemological transformations of the so-called Scientific Revolutions.
The patriotic narratives lie at the core of the first modern representations of the racialized body, Humboldtian theories of biodistribution, and views of the landscape as a historical text representing different layers of historical memory.
