Conquering Nature in Spain and Its Empire, 1750 - 1850 de Helen Cowie

Conquering Nature in Spain and Its Empire, 1750 - 1850: Studies in Imperialism

Autor Helen Cowie
en Limba Engleză Hardback – sep 2011
This book examines the study of natural history in the Spanish empire in the years 1750-1850. During this period, Spain made strenuous efforts to survey, inventory and exploit the natural productions of her overseas possessions, orchestrating a serries of scientific expeditions and cultivating and displaying American fauna and flora in metropolitan gardens and museums. This book assesses the cultural significance of natural history, emphasising the figurative and utilitarian value with which eighteenth-century Spaniards invested natural objects, from globetrotting elephants to three-legged chickens. It considers how the creation, legitimisation and dissemination of scientific knowledge reflected broader questions of imperial power and national identity.

This book will be of particular interest to scholars and students of Spanish and Latin American History, the History of Science and Imperial Culture
