| Zusammenfassung: | Introduction -- The map behind the curtain -- South Sea dreams -- Pacific nightmares -- Shipwrecked ambitions -- Pacific conquests -- The location of China --The kingdom of the setting sun --The anxieties of a paper empire -- Conclusion "Although the tendency to depict America as a part of Asia is most often associated with the print cartography of Renaissance humanists living and working north of the Pyrenees, it was actually the Spanish-speaking world that was most committed to mapping the New World in terms of transpacific connectivity: that is, the notion that North America was actually an extension of East Asia, and that the South Sea (today's Pacific Ocean) was actually much narrower than it in fact is. Columbus's dream of reaching the East by sailing west did not fade as America began to take form in the European imagination. On the contrary, it nourished continued efforts to press westward from New Spain, culminating in the establishment of a Spanish colony in the Philippine Islands during the 1560s, and speculation about continued conquest-both temporal and spiritual-on the continent of Asia. Throughout this westward push, the space between Mexico and Malacca was most often theorized not as America or the New World, but quite simply as las Indias, an eminently flexible concept that served to keep Spain's transpacific ambitions alive, even as various empirical realities regarding the true geography of the vast Pacific Basin slowly came into sharper focus over the century. These and other theories kept the New World connected to Asia in a variety of ways, subtending Spain's dreams, ultimately failed, of a transpacific empire. Padrón here outlines the contours of a largely forgotten geopolitical imaginary whose existence and salience has only become visible from the perspective afforded by the twenty-first century, the Pacific Century"-- |

How Early Modern Spain Mapped the Far East as the Transpacific West Ricardo Padrón Narratives of Europe’s sixteenth-century west ward expansion often tell of how the Americas came to be known as a distinct land mass, a conti nent separate from Asia and uniquely positioned as new ground ripe for transatlantic coloniahsm. But this geographic vision of the Americas was not shared by all Europeans. While some impe rialists imagined North and Central America as a new and undiscovered land, the Spanish en visioned the New World as part of a larger and eminently flexible geography that they called las Indias, that, by right, belonged to the Crown of Castile and León. Las Indias, in Spains view, in cluded all of the New World as well as East and Southeast Asia, although this perception of the relationship between the two areas changed as the cartographic and geographic realities of the Pacific Rim came into sharper focus. At first, the Spanish insisted that North and Central America were extensions of the continent ofAsia. Eventu ally, they came to understand East and Southeast Asia as a transpacific extension of their empire in America called las Indias del poniente, or the In dies of the Setting Sun. The Indies of the Setting Sun charts the Span ish vision of a transpacific imperial expanse, beginning with Balboas discovery of the South Sea and ending almost one-hundred years later with Spains final push for control of the Pacific. Ricardo Padrón traces a series of attempts—both cartographic and discursive—to map the space from Mexico to Malacca, revealing the geopoliti
cal imaginations at play in the quest for control of the New World and Asia. |

Columbus's dream of reaching the East by sailing west did not fade as America began to take form in the European imagination. On the contrary, it nourished continued efforts to press westward from New Spain, culminating in the establishment of a Spanish colony in the Philippine Islands during the 1560s, and speculation about continued conquest-both temporal and spiritual-on the continent of Asia. Throughout this westward push, the space between Mexico and Malacca was most often theorized not as America or the New World, but quite simply as las Indias, an eminently flexible concept that served to keep Spain's transpacific ambitions alive, even as various empirical realities regarding the true geography of the vast Pacific Basin slowly came into sharper focus over the century. These and other theories kept the New World connected to Asia in a variety of ways, subtending Spain's dreams, ultimately failed, of a transpacific empire. Padrón here outlines the contours of a largely forgotten geopolitical imaginary whose existence and salience has only become visible from the perspective afforded by the twenty-first century, the Pacific Century"-- Geschichte 1500-1700 gnd rswk-swf Kolonialismus (DE-588)4073624-6 gnd rswk-swf Kartografie (DE-588)4029823-1 gnd rswk-swf Pazifischer Ozean (DE-588)4044981-6 gnd rswk-swf Spanien (DE-588)4055964-6 gnd rswk-swf Cartography / Spain / History / 16th century Pacific Area / Maps / History Pacific Area / Discovery and exploration Pacific Area / In literature Spain / Civilization / 1516-1700 Spain / Relations / Pacific Area Pacific Area / Relations / Spain Spanien (DE-588)4055964-6 g Pazifischer Ozean (DE-588)4044981-6 g Kartografie (DE-588)4029823-1 s Kolonialismus (DE-588)4073624-6 s Geschichte 1500-1700 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, EPUB 978-0-226-68962-3 (DE-604)BV047838218 https://www.gbv.de/dms/bowker/toc/9780226455679.pdf 2020-10-19 Aggregator Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Augsburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032663075&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Augsburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032663075&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
