An Online Exhibition – ATLASES: Poetics, Politics, and Performance

ATLASES: Poetics, Politics, and Performance is a web exhibition of atlases from the Special Collections and School of Geographical Sciences of the University of Bristol (http://uobatlases.net/). It includes atlases produced between 1570 to approximately 1970. The exhibition consists of four thematic parts. Renaissance Theatres contains famous and les famous atlases produced between the end of the 16th century to the middle of the 17th century, such as atlases by Ortelius (1574), Camden (1610), Speed (1611) and four atlas tomes by Blaeu (1645). Rhetoric of Truth contains geological and archaeological atlases from the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. However, Rhetoric of Truth is not only limited to renaissance, but it also encompasses first computer generated atlases, e.g. Atlas of Breeding Birds in England and Ireland (1976) and others. The Colonial Gaze focuses on atlases applied in colonial projects and land exploitation in Africa and the Caribbean Islands, as well as in circulation of race theories in Europe and North America at the end of the 19th century. The last part, National Identities and Conflict explores the role of atlas as a powerful instrument for visualizing conflicts and shaping territorial-political ideas in the 20th century.

Izložba na internetu - ATLASES: Poetics, Politics, and Performance

ATLASES: Poetics, Politics, and Performance web je izložba atlasa iz Posebnih zbirki i Škole geografskih znanosti Sveučilišta u Bristolu (http://uobatlases.net/). Obuhvaća atlase nastale od 1570. do približno 1970. godine. Izložba se sastoji od četiri tematska dijela. Renaissance Theaters sadrži poznate i manje poznate atlase nastale od kraja 16. stoljeća do sredine 17. stoljeća, poput atlasa Orteliusa (1574.), Camdena (1610.), Speeda (1611.) i četiri toma atlasa Blaeua (1645. ). Rhetoric of Truth sadrži geološke i arheološke atlase iz 18. i početka 19. stoljeća. Međutim, Rhetoric of Truth nije ograničena samo na renesansu, već obuhvaća i prve računalno generirane atlase, npr. Atlas ptica koje se gnijezde u Engleskoj i Irskoj (1976) i drugi. The Colonial Gaze fokusiran je na atlase primijenjene u kolonijalnim projektima i iskorištavanju zemlje u Africi i na Karipskim otocima, kao i u kruženju rasnih teorija u Europi i Sjevernoj Americi krajem 19. stoljeća. Posljednji dio, National Identities and Conflict, istražuje ulogu atlasa kao moćnog instrumenta za vizualizaciju sukoba i oblikovanje teritorijalno-političkih ideja u 20. stoljeću..
