I have been working lately on the Ecuadorean national novel, Cumanda, and
its relation to various 19th century attempts to map the Ecuadorean
national territory.  Although "mapping" and "cartography" receive a lot
of mention in contemporary literary criticism, it is usually as metaphors
for representation rather than as part of a concern with actual maps.  I
was hoping some of you could help me with the cartographic/geographic
dimensions of this project (although comments about the literary
relationship would be most welcome).  I am looking specifically for
bibliography on the history of cartography in latin america (or of it)
and for discussions of the ideological implications of map-making.
 
Please e-mail me at [log in to unmask]  I would be very grateful
for your help and look forward to some conversation.
