Download or read book Mapping the Country of Regions written by Nancy P. Appelbaum and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-05-18 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nineteenth century was an era of breathtakingly ambitious geographic expeditions across the Americas. The seminal Chorographic Commission of Colombia, which began in 1850 and lasted about a decade, was one of Latin America's most extensive. The commission's mandate was to define and map the young republic and its resources with an eye toward modernization. In this history of the commission, Nancy P. Appelbaum focuses on the geographers' fieldwork practices and visual production as the men traversed the mountains, savannahs, and forests of more than thirty provinces in order to delineate the country's territorial and racial composition. Their assumptions and methods, Appelbaum argues, contributed to a long-lasting national imaginary. What jumps out of the commission's array of reports, maps, sketches, and paintings is a portentous tension between the marked differences that appeared before the eyes of the geographers in the field and the visions of sameness to which they aspired. The commissioners and their patrons believed that a prosperous republic required a unified and racially homogeneous population, but the commission's maps and images paradoxically emphasized diversity and helped create a "country of regions." By privileging the whiter inhabitants of the cool Andean highlands over those of the boiling tropical lowlands, the commission left a lasting but problematic legacy for today's Colombians.

Download or read book Colombia Bosquejo de su geograf a tropical written by Guhl Nimtz, Ernesto and published by Ediciones Uniandes-Universidad de los Andes. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los lectores tienen en sus manos el producto de la pasión de un geógrafo alemán que convirtió a Colombia en su patria. En efecto, Ernesto Guhl Nimtz llegó a este país en 1937 y se quedó en él por el resto de su vida. El libro Colombia: bosquejo de su geografía tropical es parte del legado de este hombre, uno de los protagonistas más importantes de la geografía colombiana del siglo xx. Pese a los 35 años que han pasado desde la primera edición, esta obra –que se ha convertido en un clásico innegable– sigue siendo un referente obligado en diversos aspectos de geografía física y humana, ofreciendo un panorama todavía innovador de esta disciplina, que el profesor Guhl contribuyó a conformar en nuestro país. Se trata de una obra única que muestra cómo a un solo hombre le cupo el país en la cabeza: la interpretación y el análisis que hizo Ernesto Guhl Nimtz sobre la realidad del país en la década de los setenta muestra una Colombia polifónica y diversa, donde los aspectos biofísicos, sociales, económicos, políticos y culturales se entrelazan, consiguiendo una aproximación sintética y relacional a la geografía colombiana, que da cuenta de la plural integralidad del país.

Book excerpt: This book charts the developments in the discipline of geography from the 1950s to the 1980s, examining how geography now connects with urban, regional and national planning, and impacts on areas such as medicine, transport, agricultural development and electoral reform. The book also discusses how technical and theoretical advancements have generated a renewed sense of philosophic reflection – a concern closely linked with the critical examination and development of social theory.
