art contouring towards creative historical

项目摘要

This project seeks to creatively reconstruct a cultural history of contour lines in Britain and Ireland, 1778 - c. 1860. Combining a novel methodology of artistic re-enactment with a geographical approach to historical research, the project will investigate the inception and development of 'contouring'. The practical, aesthetic and wider cultural dimensions of measuring and representing relief will be imaginatively reconstructed through the production of models, maps and other artistic modes of replication. As well as working towards a historical geography of contouring, the project will contribute to the emerging field of GeoHumanities and open up new avenues for art-geography collaboration. The contour line has been used to represent relief on British maps since the early nineteenth century. Now taken for granted, the history of the line's origins and eventual adoption on British maps was tortuous and contentious (Andrews 1975; Seymour 1980). This project will provide a new, detailed cultural history of the contour line in the period 1778-1860 through reconstructions of several key moments crucial to the invention and adoption of contouring. The research will aim to recover the place-specific cultural and technical assumptions that informed the use of, and resistance to, contours on maps and will seek to imaginatively recreate the material challenges and aesthetic judgements that guided decisions about how to represent relief. In historiographical terms, this project will explore the evolution of contouring in ways informed by work on the historical geographies of knowledge (Finnegan 2008; Livingstone 2003; Naylor 2005) and critical cartography (e.g. Crampton 2010; Dodge 2017). Methodologically, the project will work with an emerging literature on mapping, mark-making and site-specific artistic practice (e.g. Ingold 2007; Hawkins 2014; Parker 2015) to reassemble and re-interpret the cultural and material practices associated with contouring. Drawing on recent innovations in cultural and historical geography, attention will be given to ways of re-enacting past creative practices (Lilley 2000; Lorimer 2003; 2009; Patchett 2017; Schneider 2011), including the skills associated with measuring and graphically representing contours. The physical and digital reproduction of maps, models and other related products will be used to better understand the contested and piecemeal emergence of contours as a primary mode for representing relief in two dimensions.Informed by these conceptual and methodological concerns, the project will be guided by three main research questions: 1. In what ways did place-specific cultural and scientific assumptions and practices influence the development, design and adoption of contours?2. How did established cartographic traditions challenge or check the creation, use and promotion of contour lines on maps? 3. What aesthetic conventions influenced the relative 'qualities' or 'quantities' a contour line was taken to convey?

该项目旨在创造性地重建1778年至1860年英国和爱尔兰等高线的文化史。该项目将艺术再现的新方法与历史研究的地理方法相结合，将调查“等高线”的起源和发展。测量和表现浮雕的实际、美学和更广泛的文化层面将通过制作模型、地图和其他艺术复制方式进行富有想象力的重建。除了致力于历史地理学的等高线研究外，该项目还将为新兴的地理人文学科领域做出贡献，并为艺术地理学的合作开辟新的途径。自19世纪初以来，等高线一直被用来表示英国地图上的浮雕。这条线的起源和最终在英国地图上被采纳的历史，现在被认为是理所当然的，是曲折和有争议的（Andrews 1975; Seymour 1980）。该项目将通过重建对等高线的发明和采用至关重要的几个关键时刻，提供1778-1860年期间等高线的新的，详细的文化史。该研究旨在恢复特定地点的文化和技术假设，这些假设告知了地图上等高线的使用和抵抗，并将寻求富有想象力地重新创造材料挑战和美学判断，指导如何表现救济的决定。在史学方面，该项目将通过对知识的历史地理学（Finnegan 2008; Livingstone 2003; Naylor 2005）和关键制图（例如Crampton 2010； Dodge 2017）的工作来探索等高线的演变。在方法上，该项目将与绘图、标记制作和特定地点艺术实践方面的新兴文献（例如Ingold 2007； Hawkins 2014; Parker 2015）合作，重新组合和重新解释与轮廓相关的文化和材料实践。借鉴最近在文化和历史地理学方面的创新，将关注重现过去创造性实践的方法（Lilley 2000; Lorimer 2003; 2009; Patchett 2017; Schneider 2011），包括与测量和图形表示等高线相关的技能。将使用地图、模型和其他有关产品的实物和数字复制品，以便更好地了解等高线作为二维地形表示的主要模式所出现的争议和零碎现象。根据这些概念和方法上的关注，该项目将以三个主要研究问题为指导：1。特定地点的文化和科学假设和实践如何影响等高线的发展、设计和采用？既定的制图传统如何挑战或检查地图上等高线的创作、使用和推广？3. 什么样的审美习惯影响了等高线所传达的相对“品质”或“数量”？
