Voyages, Mesures et Instruments Une nouvelle expérience du monde au Siècle des lumières

Abstract: « Après une heure de marche, nous vînmes côtoyer une immense crevasse. Quoiqu'elle eût plus de cent pieds de largeur, on n'en voyait le fond nulle part. Dans un moment où nous nous reposions tous debout sur son bord […], mon domestique, par je ne sais quelle distraction, laissa échapper le pied de mon baromètre qu'il tenoit à la main ; ce pied glissa avec la rapidité d'une flèche sur la paroi inclinée de la crevasse et alla se planter à une très grande profondeur dans la paroi opposée, où il demeura fixé en os… Show more

“…Thierry Fabre (2000aFabre ( , 2004, in his genealogy of French representations of the Mediterranean, identifies precisely in the Egyptian expedition, and in the opening up of a new era of French colonialism in North Africa, the key starting points of the modern reinvention of the Mediterranean. Fabre, however, entirely overlooks the role played by the voyageurs philosophes of the eighteenth century (Bourguet and Licoppe, 1997), who had been enormously influential in the production of a specific Orientalist imaginary on the Mediterranean, closely bound to their search for the Greek roots of European civilization. 8 The study of Greece -and, in particular, of the relationship between ancient and modern Greece -becomes, in a certain phase of European modernity (especially after Napoleon's expedition) a key element in the production and popularization of the aporiae upon which all Mediterraneanisms necessarily rely.…”

“…31 El espacio se convierte en un problema suscitado por las aporías de la nomenclatura. Para los naturalistas, el tiempo de la colecta comienza a ser superado y se debe proponer la clasificación de este inventario cuyos materiales son llamados a constituir las bases de una historia natural que intente comprender la complejidad de los fenómenos 32 . En este caso, la clasificación geográfica aparece como una respuesta posible.…”

“…Historians of geography might follow the suggestion by CLIFFORD (1997) that fieldwork in anthropology can be understood as a set embodied spatial practices, constructing both the field as a site of research and the identity of the anthropologist. Or we might draw upon recent work by historians of science on cultures of exploration, such as CAMERINI (1997), KUKLICK & KOHLER (1996), BOURGUET & LICOPPE (1997) or OUTRAM (1996. In all these writings, the spatiality of fieldwork is a central issue; the 'field' is understood as always in the process of being constructed.…”
