Time: 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Speaker: Carla Lois
Description:
Dr. Lois' talk "Territory, Maps and Nation: Creating Geographical Background for Argentine Nationalism" examines how making maps helped Argentine leaders cultivate national identity in this important South American Country.
Carla Lois holds a doctorate in geography from the University of Buenos Aires. Her research involves topics and perspectives from cultural geography and the history of cartography. Her doctoral dissertation focused on geographic ideas and cartographic representations of the Southern Hemisphere in the Renaissance. As a researcher of the National Council of Scientific and Technical Researches (CONICET), she studies the history of Argentine cartography during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and has published numerous articles and book chapters. Lois is a coeditor (with Hector Mendoza) of Historias de la cartografía de Iberoamérica: Nuevos caminos, viejos problemas (UNAM, INEGI, México, 2009) and a contributor to volume 6 of The History of Cartography, edited by Mark Monmonier (University of Chicago Press). She works as a professor in the Departments of Geography at the University of Buenos Aires and the National University of La Plata.
