Abstract

This volume explores the early modern manuals on travelling ( Artes apodemicae), a new genre of advice literature that originated in the sixteenth century, when it became communis opinio among intellectuals that travelling was an important means of acquiring knowledge and experience, and that an extended tour abroad was a vital, if not indispensable part of humanist, academic and political education. In this volume, the formation of this new genre, between 1550 and 1700, is studied in its historical, social and cultural context. Furthermore, the volume examines the impact of this new genre on the acquisition and collection of knowledge in the early modern period, empirical or otherwise.

Abstract

The volume discusses the world as it was known in the Medieval and Early Modern periods, focusing on projects concerned with mapping as a conceptual and artistic practice, with visual representations of space, and with destinations of real and fictive travel. Maps were often taken as straightforward, objective configurations. However, they expose deeply subjective frameworks with social, political, and economic significance. Travel narratives, whether illustrated or not, can address similar frameworks. Whereas travelled space is often adventurous, and speaking of hardship, strange encounters and danger, city portraits tell a tale of civilized life and civic pride. The book seeks to address the multiple ways in which maps and travel literature conceive of the world, communicate a 'Weltbild', depict space, and/or define knowledge. The volume challenges academic boundaries in the study of cartography by exploring the links between mapmaking and artistic practices. The contributions discuss individual mapmakers, authors of travelogues, mapmaking as an artistic practice, the relationship between travel literature and mapmaking, illustration in travel literature, and imagination in depictions of newly explored worlds.

Abstract

En este Cervantes y los Mares, se encuentra el lector con la magistral narrativa de viajes y marítima que Cervantes desarrolló en su Persiles, terminado poco antes de morir. Encuentra asimismo el estudio de su poesía del mar, el modo como reescribió a la vez la antigua novela bizantina junto con el barroco de su tiempo, las retóricas del amor, las artes de la escena y las visuales. Y todo ello, en la voz de sus habilísimos narradores. Aquí, podrá también ahondar en la presencia de la ciudad de Lisboa y de sus gentes en la obra de Cervantes, en tiempos de Felipe II, cuando Portugal fue parte de la monarquía Española, acercarse a las relaciones entre la Península Ibérica y el Mediterráneo y a la dolorida historia de los Cautivos. Y, por fin, conocer las «tierras de promisión» soñadas por aquellos nuestros antepasados.
