> New World Cartographies: Mapping America, 1500-1776
>
> 2-3 November 2007
> The American Museum in Britain
> Claverton Manor, Bath
>
>
> The American Museum in Britain at Bath and the Rothermere American
> Institute at the
> University of Oxford welcome proposals for papers for a symposium "New

> Cartographies: Mapping America, 1500-1776," to be held at Claverton
> Manor, Bath,
> Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd November, 2007.
>
> This symposium, which will be held in conjunction with an exhibition of
> maps of early
> America at the Museum, will focus on cartographic representations (and
> misrepresentations)
> of America before the Declaration of Independence in 1776 which gave
> rise to the present-day
> United States. Issues to be considered may include: the significance of
> imaginative
> projections of America; the uses of science to map the new continent;
> interrelations between
> various conceptions of territory, colony, nation and continent in the
> New World; Native American representations of space and place; the
> iconographic idea of America; changing ideas about America between
> the Renaissance and the Enlightenment eras; associations between maps
> and politics. This symposium should be of interest to those
> interested in the history of exploration and cartography, as well as
> those involved with the study of early American history, geography
> and culture. It is envisaged that a selection of papers from the
> symposium will be published.
>
> Please send titles of proposed papers, with a brief (250 words)
> description and a short
> CV, to the Assistant Director, Rothermere American Institute, 1A South
> Parks Road,
> Oxford, OX1 3TG (e mail: [log in to unmask]) by 15 May 2007.
