As a contribution to Intellectual History, this project is best-characterised as two, related parts: (I) an elaboration of a new method - which I term 'Textual Cartography' - for the Global Intellectual History sub-field and (II) the application of this method to three figures of 19th century Latin American political thought: Simon Bolivar (1783-1830), Domingo Sarmiento (1811-88), and Jose Marti (1853-95). These three have been chosen for their shared canonical status and their common intellectual engagement with imperial power and Spanish America's place in a world dominated by it. The latter exercise in application will, I am confident, renovate our understanding of what these actors were doing with their writing which, in turn, will illustrate the value of Textual Cartography as a new form of interpretive practise. Textual Cartography is an approach focused upon the ways in which the concepts in the archive of Intellectual History have been used by political thinkers as 'cartographic devices' with which to inscribe spaces of politico-cultural significance onto their discursive constructions of the globe. Concretely, this means when concepts have been used as schema for the spatial classification - often normative - of the Earth's surface. The potential utility of this approach is expansive. Its focus suggests no immediate limits on subject matter. As such, the disciplinary terrains beyond Intellectual History and toward the broader Humanities cannot be put out-of-bounds to Textual Cartography. Bolivar, Sarmiento, and Marti make a good strategic choice for the effective demonstration of Textual Cartography. As canonical figures in the history of Latin American political thought, with a subsequent concentration of readings built up around them, they are the ideal historiographical choice for contrastively showing the new interpretive gains in my method. Moreover, each of them has been conventionally framed by analysts within the national category, but here, with a method developed out of Global Intellectual History, the globality of their imaginings is centred. This project will thus also do important, general work in bringing Latin American intellectual history into the arc of the incipient 'Global turn' in our field.

作为对思想史的贡献，这个项目最好的特点是两个相关的部分：(I)为全球思想史分领域阐述一种新的方法--我称之为‘文本制图’--和(Ii)将这种方法应用于19世纪拉丁美洲政治思想的三位人物：西蒙·玻利瓦尔(1783-1830)、多明戈·萨尔米恩托(1811-1888)和何塞·马蒂(1853-95年)。这三个人之所以被选中，是因为他们有着共同的规范地位，他们与帝国权力以及西班牙美国在一个由帝国统治的世界中的地位有着共同的智力接触。我相信，后一种应用练习将更新我们对这些演员如何处理他们的写作的理解，这反过来将说明文本制图学作为一种新形式的口译练习的价值。文本地图学是一种方法，关注的是思想史档案中的概念如何被政治思想家用作“制图装置”，用来将具有政治文化意义的空间铭刻在他们对全球的论述结构上。具体地说，这意味着概念已经被用作地球表面的空间分类--通常是规范性的--的图式。这种方法的潜在效用是巨大的。它的重点表明，对主题没有立即的限制。因此，超越思想史和通向更广泛的人文科学的学科地形不能被排除在文本制图学之外。玻利瓦尔、萨尔米安托和马蒂为文本地图学的有效演示做出了很好的战略选择。作为拉丁美洲政治思想史上的典范人物，随着围绕他们的阅读逐渐集中，他们是对比展示我的方法中新的解释收获的理想史学选择。此外，他们中的每一个传统上都是由国家范畴内的分析师来框定的，但在这里，通过从全球思想史发展出来的方法，他们想象力的全球性是集中的。因此，该项目还将在将拉丁美洲思想史带入我们所在领域最初的“全球转向”的弧线方面进行重要的、一般性的工作。
