Zusammenfassung:"Tracks on the Ocean is a sweeping history of how we have understood and accounted for routes of travel over the ocean. Focusing on the representation of sea journeys in the Western world from the early sixteenth century to the present, Sara Caputo argues that the depiction of these lines is inextricable from European imperialism, the rise of modernity, and processes of globalization.
