Conference Panel: Images of Human Figures on Maps
Surekha Davies Dear listmembers:
We are hoping to submit a proposal for a session on 'Cartographic Bodies' at the 20th International Conference on the History of Cartography (15-20 June 2003, Cambridge, Mass. & Portland, Maine). It will explore images of human figures on maps: their functions, development, sources, interaction with cartographic and textual components, etc. We are
looking for a third speaker to join our session.
Ideally, this person would wish to speak on images of people in early modern European maps of Asia/the Levant in the broadest sense, since we study images of Africans and Amerindians. However, we would like to make contact with anyone working on images of people on maps, regardless of whether they can attend the conference / are working on Asia.
If you would like more details, please email us.
Many thanks,
Surekha Davies (surekha.davies@bl.uk) [images of Amerindians]
