ABSTRACT Based on archival research, this article analyses the publishing history of the map of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in the Petermanns Mitteilungen journal. Commissioned by the provincial government between 1836 and 1855, this map was drawn up by two German army officers who had emigrated to Brazil. In 1859 the Swiss naturalist Johann Jakob von Tschudi acted as an intermediary between the Brazilian authorities and the German publishing house Perthes in Gotha. The editorial process reflects both the transatlantic circulation of maps and geographical knowledge and the creation of a global community of map readers and users in the German-speaking context in the mid-nineteenth century.
摘要:本文在文献研究的基础上，分析了《彼得曼斯·米特伦根》杂志刊登巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州地图的历史。1836年至1855年间，省政府委托两名移居巴西的德国军官绘制了这幅地图。1859年，瑞士博物学家约翰·雅各布·冯·楚迪(Johann Jakob von Tschudi)在巴西当局和哥达的德国Perthes出版社之间充当了中间人。编辑过程既反映了地图和地理知识的跨大西洋流通，也反映了19世纪中期德语背景下全球地图读者和用户社区的建立。

modern Hawaii, everyday spoken conversation is conducted using a blended approach in which an expanding range of Hawaiian words is easily included. This is particularly true in scholarly works, where inappropriate Western terms have been displaced by Hawaiian words. Thus Mapping Abundance incorporates a considerable vocabulary that will be unfamiliar to readers who do not live there. And that is for the better. As I argued in Surveying the Mahele (Honolulu, Editions Limited, 1994), it is erroneous to talk about Hawaiian land practices using terms from Western culture. The same is true of other aspects of culture. Western terminology alone is not sufficient to discuss Hawaiian traditions and practices. The terms malama and kuleana, for instance, represent complex concepts of responsibility for care of the land. Geographically, this reintroduction of Hawaiian terminology is particularly relevant. For instance, fifty years ago, the commonly understood definition of the term ahupuaʻa, a basic land unit, was a pie-shaped unit that ran from mountain top to the sea. Today, people are far more cognizant that ahupuaʻa and related terms such as ʻili and kuleana refer to a much more subtle concept of land tenure. With a larger number of people now being fluent in Hawaiian, nuances are being teased out of the language and applied to discussions of Hawai’i’s past and future. Fujikane, of the University of Hawaii, offers insight into how traditional, indigenous descriptions of landscapes found in chants are fuelling efforts by Hawaiian activists to increase productivity (in a broad sense) by displacing Western practices with ones derived from native knowledge. Fujikane shows that Hawaiian mythological chants contain specific and reliable geographical descriptions and thus constitute legitimate forms of ‘cartographies’ or ‘geographies’ as she labels them. In several cases she illustrates how such native geographical knowledge can be displayed with Western cartographical techniques, thus making it useful for restoring past practices, protesting controversial actions and addressing legal challenges in court. Within the context of academic studies of the history of cartography, Hawaii is something of an outlier. It was not until the 1830s that any Western-based mapping was done by Hawaiians themselves, and earlier mapping by non-Hawaiians was not undertaken for the benefit of the people of Hawaii (Fitzpatrick, Early Mapping of Hawaii, 1986). When the communal system of land ownership was replaced with a Western-styled system of private landownership in the 1840s and 1850s, much knowledge of the land-use practices of traditional Hawaii was lost.

In the historiography about European empires, there is an increasing interest in processes of describing, measuring and mapping areas as well as considering the various political, economic and social features related to them. This applies in particular to the analysis of population statistics, land taxation and schemes for agricultural improvement. In 2020, Reinhard Johler and Josef Wolf edited a volume, which contributes to this historiographical field. Beschreiben und Vermessen is based on a conference held in Tübingen in 2009. It comprises twenty-one essays related to ‘knowledge about space’ (Raumwissen) in the eastern and southeastern parts of the Austrian (later Austro-Hungarian) Empire. The essays are arranged in three sections: administrative communication and description of the country, surveying and mapping, and perspectives of the history of knowledge. A book review does not allow detailed discussion of every contribution, and, therefore, the following paragraphs focus on three aspects of particular interest to map historians. In some chapters, historical statistics as well as the instructions that were used during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to create these statistics play a major role. Peter Becker, for example, highlights the importance of the instructions in the process, when social and economic features were structured into standardized abstract categories (‘Standardisierung der Zuordnung von Lebensund Wirtschaftsformen zu abstrakten Kategorien’). Such instructions formed a framework in which the creators of statistical descriptions arranged the characteristic features of their areas, as Livia Ardelean shows for the Marmarosch (in Romania) and Rudolf Gräf for the Banat (now divided among Romania, Serbia and Hungary). In these chapters, the authors examine how local staff tried to adapt the instructions to conditions in their respective areas. With regard to surveying and mapping, the contributors to the volume illustrate how the map enabled the central administration literally to ‘see’ the country. Land surveyors received detailed guidelines regarding the representation of topographical features, allowing them to produce maps that worked as a sort of filter. Xénia Havadi-Nagy, for example, demonstrates the importance of the various mapping projects that had the aim of ‘optimizing and acceleratingmovements of troops’. In addition, two chapters, by Borbála Zsuzsanna Török and byReinhard Johler, illustrate how eighteenthand nineteenth-century experts discussed various methods of measuring ethnographic differences, and how cartographers in the twentieth century channelled these differences into ethnographic maps. Another aspect highlighted here is the understanding of descriptions, statistics and maps as instruments or tools for political and administrative aims. Robert Born, for example, shows how military mapping at the Austro-Ottoman border depicted fortresses and other details useful for future war scenarios. At the sam
