Recenzii
"No archive is perfect. No archive story is perfect either, but Diana Lange's ‘Journey of discovery’ comes close.(...) Highly readable, expertly crafted and based on fieldwork experience, linguistic and anthropological skills and a wide range of archival scholarship, Lange's book is the thrilling story of her quest as much as a deep and very compelling analysis of the lama's pictorial cartography. Far from a mere collection and comment of material, it immediately appears as a multifaceted and thoughtprovoking reflection on the way geographical knowledge is collected and constructed, translated, forgotten or re-discovered. As such, it does not only relate to the European gaze on Tibet and the Himalayas in the 19th century, but proves an important contribution to the study of pre-20th century Asian maps and the question of geographical representation more generally." - Felix de Montety, Université Grenoble Alpes, France, Journal of Cartography 81 (2023).
"Diana Lange's study of the unique maps of 19th century Tibet found in the British Library's Wise collection is an absolute must for every Asian studies library and serious private collection. It is an outstanding and highly readable work that will be enjoyed by students, specialists and the general reader alike." - Alex McKay, IIAS Leiden
"By unraveling the process that led to the production of these geographic paintings Diana Lange was able to give an enlightening analysis of the complex social, cultural and political context in which these beautiful artefacts were created. By investigating their subsequent history she was also able to give a compelling exploration of the process that led them to come to England and become part of the Wise collection." - Hildegard Diemberger, University of Cambridge
"As there are few scholarly investigations of Tibetan mapmaking, Lange’s monograph stands out as a substantial contribution to this emerging discourse. (...) An Atlas of the Himalayas by a 19th Century Tibetan Lama will have great appeal to anyone working on nineteenth-century Inner Asian and Himalayan geography, ethnohistory, visual culture, and cartography." - Melissa R. Kerin, Washington and Lee University, in: The Journal of Asian Studies
