Abstract

This article analyzes the links between the first travel accounts of the New World and the production of cartographic images of America in Guillaume Le Testu’s Cosmographie Universelle (1556). Produced in 1556 and dedicated to Admiral of France Gaspard de Coligny, the Norman pilot’s manuscript atlas was created in the context of growing French colonial interest in Terra Brasilis. The transposition of America’s founding narratives into cartographic images as presented in Le Testu’s Cosmographie is interpreted here as an act of translation lato sensu. The translation of the continent’s travel accounts in the strictest sense of the word, and the adaptation of New World information to new audiences and political contexts are also examined in the analysis of this manuscript nautical atlas.
论建国叙事到地图图像的翻译——勒泰图《宇宙图》中的美国(1556)
本文分析了纪尧姆·勒泰图(Guillaume Le Testu)的《宇宙图》(Cosmographice Universelle)(1556)中关于新世界的第一批旅行记述与美国地图图像的制作之间的联系。这位诺曼飞行员的手稿地图集制作于1556年,献给法国海军上将加斯帕德·德·科利尼,是在法国对Terra Brasilis日益增长的殖民兴趣的背景下创作的。在勒泰图的《宇宙图》中,将美国建国叙事转换为地图图像,在这里被解释为一种广义的翻译行为。在对这份航海地图集手稿的分析中,还考察了最严格意义上的非洲大陆旅行记录的翻译,以及新世界信息对新受众和政治背景的适应。

期刊介绍: Culture & History Digital Journal features original scientific articles and review articles, aimed to contribute to the methodological debate among historians and other scholars specialized in the fields of Human and Social Sciences, at an international level. Using an interdisciplinary and transversal approach, this Journal poses a renovation of the studies on the past, relating them and dialoguing with the present, breaking the traditional forms of thinking based on chronology, diachronic analysis, and the classical facts and forms of thinking based exclusively on textual and documental analysis. By doing so, this Journal aims to promote not only new subjects of History, but also new forms of addressing its knowledge.
