Abstract

The first general history of Korea as seen through maps, Korea: A Cartographic History provides a beautifully illustrated introduction to how Korea was and is represented cartographically. John Rennie Short, one of today's most prolific and well-respected geographers, encapsulates six hundred years of maps made by Koreans and non-Koreans alike. Largely chronological in its organization, Korea begins by examining the differing cartographic traditions prevalent in the early Joseon period in Korea-roughly 1400 to 1600-and its temporal equivalent in early modern Europe. As one of the longest continuous dynasties, Joseon rule encompassed an enormous range and depth of cartographic production. Short then surveys the cartographic encounters from 1600 to 1900, distinguishing between the early and late Joseon periods and highlighting the influences of China, Japan, and the rest of the world on Korean cartography. In his final section, Short covers the period from Japanese colonial control of Korea to the present day and demonstrates how some of the tumultuous events of the past hundred years are recorded and contested in maps. He also explores recent cartographic controversies, including the naming of the East Sea/Sea of Japan and claims of ownership of the island of Dokdo. A common theme running throughout Short's study is how the global flow of knowledge and ideas affects mapmaking, and Short reveals how Korean mapmakers throughout history have embodied, reflected, and even contested these foreign depictions of their homeland.

Abstract

La fascination pour les cartes tend à faire oublier le travail qui précède la production de ces images si particulières. Elles sont pourtant le fruit de multiples opérations savantes et politiques : relevés de terrain, collecte de données, choix d’échelle, de signes, de couleurs, d’impressions. Cet ouvrage aborde l’histoire de la cartographie du XVe au XXIe siècle par le biais non pas des productions elles-mêmes, mais des auteurs de ces cartes. Qui les commande, les conçoit, les dessine, les signe ? Qui est le cartographe ? Quelle est sa place dans la société, quelles sont ses relations avec les détenteurs du pouvoir ? Sans préjuger de l’unité d’un métier de cartographe, l’ouvrage essaye de cerner les diverses figures, les constantes et les évolutions de cette activité dans l’Europe moderne et contemporaine. Pourquoi et comment mathématiciens et astronomes, marins et hydrographes, humanistes, topographes, explorateurs, militaires, artistes, ingénieurs et informaticiens dressent des cartes. Producteurs d’un savoir spatialisé, ils donnent à voir un monde qui est une construction. Et cette construction se comprend d’autant mieux que l’on parvient à en connaître les auteurs.
