Description: The Cartographic Eye by Simon Ryan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Investigation of the presumptions and politics of Australian explorers texts that shows that they are not the unadorned observations they would have us believe. It scrutinises the scientific and literary methodology of exploration. Publisher Description This book is about the mythologies of land exploration, and about space and the colonial enterprise in particular. It is an innovative investigation of the presumptions, aesthetics, and politics of Australian explorers texts that looks at the journals of John Oxley, Thomas Mitchell, Charles Sturt, and Ludwig Leichhardt and shows that they are not the simple, unadorned observations the authors would have us believe, but, rather, complex networks of tropes. The book argues that contacts with Aborigines and the virgin land are occasions of discursive contest, and that, however much explorers construct themselves as monarchs of all they survey, this monarchy is not absolute. This book scrutinises and undermines the scientific and literary methodology of exploration.
