摘要

目标/背景:在18世纪,来自不同殖民大国的官员试图将格拉纳达新王国——今天的哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔、委内瑞拉和巴拿马——的总督领地变成一块经济上可行的领土。西班牙王室接受了几个世纪以来最激进的司法改革,以行使有效的国家控制权,获取更多收入,并保护殖民地免受外国入侵。本文探讨了新格拉纳达经济治理的特殊性,并认为殖民地官员产生了政治经济的地方话语,将陌生的空间变成了熟悉的地方,以实现经济、政治和军事目的。在这样做的过程中,产生关于土地及其资源的知识成为了一种关键的官僚实践,它塑造了人们对南美洲北部矛盾领土的想象。首先,我详细介绍了政治经济框架对帝国治理和官僚实践的影响。然后,我展示了行政叙事、地图项目和财政网络如何揭示波旁经济治理的运作和寻求区域一体化。方法:本文分析了1720年至1808年间产生的关于新格拉纳达及其各省的合唱文本中的一些证据。独创性:反思为创造财富而追求知识对领土创造的影响,有助于揭示帝国政治经济从来都不是自上而下的强加。当地官员针对独特的地理现实和知识生产实践进行了谈判。结论:编曲文本是帝国改革的核心手段。对财富生产和领土整合的探索发生在殖民前哨,而不是欧洲的学术论文中。在将新格拉纳达打造成一个综合的、潜在的富裕之地的过程中,官僚们穿越领土并将景观写在纸上的经历塑造了对凝聚力和差异性、经济依赖性和地区分裂性的看法。

Political Economy and Knowledge Production in the Making of the Viceroyalty of New Granada
Objective/Context: During the eighteenth century, officials from different colonial powers attempted to turn the viceroyalty of the New Kingdom of Granada—present-day Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Panama—into an economically viable territory. The Spanish Crown embraced its most radical jurisdictional reform in centuries to exercise effective state control, extract more revenue, and defend the colonies from foreign incursions. This article explores the particularities of New Granada’s economic governance and argues that colonial officials produced local discourses of political economy to turn unfamiliar spaces into familiar places for economic, political, and military ends. In doing so, producing knowledge about the land and its resources became a key bureaucratic practice that shaped the imagining of a paradoxical territoriality in Northern South America. First, I detail the impact of political economy frameworks on imperial governance and bureaucratic practices. I then showcase how administrative narratives, mapping projects, and fiscal networks reveal the workings of Bourbon economic governance and the search for regional integration. Methodology: This article is built from an analysis of archival documents consisting of a selection of evidence from chorographic texts about New Granada and its provinces produced between 1720 and 1808. Originality: Reflecting on the ways in which the pursuit of knowledge for wealth creation affected the creation of territorialities contributes to uncovering how the imperial political economy was never a top-down imposition. Local officials negotiated it vis-à-vis singular geographical realities and knowledge production practices. Conclusions: Chorographic texts were central devices of imperial reform. The search for wealth production and territorial integration occurred in colonial outposts, not in intellectual treatises in Europe. In forging New Granada as an integrated, potentially rich place, bureaucrats’ experience of moving across the territory and inscribing the landscape on paper shaped perceptions of cohesion and difference, economic dependence, and regional fragmentation.
