Abstract

Using the example of an unbuilt house in San Juan del Norte on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua in 1849, this essay argues for mining for instances of failures in the colonial archives to demonstrate the limits of imperial control in the nineteenth-century frontier and borderland regions of empire. Such studies can be a useful counterpoint to the narrative of imperial success and climax in the global nineteenth century.
佳士得拍卖行:19世纪从失败中挖掘的好处
本文以1849年尼加拉瓜加勒比海岸圣胡安del Norte的一座未建成房屋为例,论证了在殖民档案中挖掘失败的例子,以证明帝国在19世纪边境和边境地区的控制是有限的。这些研究可以作为对19世纪全球帝国成功和高潮的叙述的有用对照。
