This volume describes the construction of the territorial identity
of the southern end of South America and analyzes the cartographic
territorialization of Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego and the "Terra
Australis" continent. Different spatial representations and
territorial nature coexisted in this process as a result of the
spatial interpretation and value modes as well as the projects and
strategies of various actors. The book discusses the formal and
symbolic incorporation to the Spanish dominion and its inclusion in
the imperial design built over a new image of the world. Examining
Jesuit cartography it considers both the indigenous territoriality
and the dynamics of relations between natural and social components
in the continental hinterland. The process of cartographic
differentiation for this southern Atlantic region is analyzed in
the framework of early Antarctic exploration and competing use of
navigation routes and maritime resources. The book emphasizes the
role geopolitical and economic interests play in these
developments. The formation of territorialities of various origins
has particular contents and logic, which are built upon imaginary
subordination to political and economic interests. Cartographic
language in the 19th century, associated with political and
commercial motivations and the (British) imperial ideology,
stimulated the territorial expansion. The book argues why in the
late 1800's this was an important factor in the integration process
of the southern indigenous territories and the national
territoriality.
