摘要
在过去,中国传统地图制图活动的发展历程一直被总结为理论水平和工艺技术随时代而不断积累进步的科学实践过程。本文尝试摆脱这种科学史视角下的既定结论,而从制图作为一种建构并传播地理信息的传播实践的角度上,重新理解其社会功能与历史意义。中国的传统制图活动从巫术传统中产生,又因为它作为媒介的良好展示性和信息直观度,一直被兼作为权力关系的象征和在科层实践中生产权威的政治工具。在中国古代,地图的生产、流通和运用始终是与政治资源的流动密切相关,这也导致它在传播活动中表现出鲜明区别于西方制图学的“具身”特点。
In the past,the development of traditional cartography in China has been summarized as a scientific practice process in which theoretical level and technological techniques have been continuously improving over times.This thesis attempts to get rid of the established conclusion from the perspective of the history of science,and re-understand the social function and historical significance of cartography from the perspective of it as a communication practice of constructing and disseminating geographic information.The traditional cartographic activities in China emerged from the tradition of witchcraft,and due to its good presentation and information intuitiveness as a medium,it has always been used as a symbol of power relations and a political tool for producing authority in bureaucratic practice.In ancient China,the production,circulation and application of maps have always been closely related to the flow of political resources,which also leads to its“embodied”characteristics in communication activities,which are distinct from Western cartography.
