SUTTON Elizabeth A., Capitalism and Cartography in the Dutch Golden Age, Chicaco, The university of Chicago press, 2015, 208 p.
Présentation de l’éditeur :
In Capitalism and Cartography in the Dutch Golden Age, Elizabeth A. Sutton explores the fascinating but previously neglected history of corporate cartography during the Dutch Golden Age, from ca. 1600 to 1650. She examines how maps were used as propaganda tools for the Dutch West India Company in order to encourage the commodification of land and an overall capitalist agenda.
Building her exploration around the central figure of Claes Jansz Vischer, an Amsterdam-based publisher closely tied to the Dutch West India Company, Sutton shows how printed maps of Dutch Atlantic territories helped rationalize the Dutch Republic’s global expansion. Maps of land reclamation projects in the Netherlands, as well as the Dutch territories of New Netherland (now New York) and New Holland (Dutch Brazil), reveal how print media were used both to increase investment and to project a common narrative of national unity. Maps of this era showed those boundaries, commodities, and topographical details that publishers and the Dutch West India Company merchants and governing Dutch elite deemed significant to their agenda. In the process, Sutton argues, they perpetuated and promoted modern state capitalism.

« Je me retrouvai à froncer les sourcils impitoyablement devant les Guido et Domenichino », écrivait Henry James à la suite de sa visite à la Pinacothèque de Bologne en 1873. Le dégoût d’Henry James devant ces peintures baroques est typique de l’attitude des Américains durant la période où furent établis leurs grands musées. Comment dépassèrent-ils leurs préjugés, parvenant ainsi à la création de conséquentes collections muséales d’art baroque aux États-Unis ? À l’invitation de Paris Tableau, d’éminents conservateurs et universitaires examineront les stratégies et le succès de ceux qui défendirent la constitution de telles collections.
Ce colloque est ouvert à tous les visiteurs du Salon Paris Tableau dans la limite des places disponibles. Il est conseillé de s’inscrire au préalable par téléphone au 01 45 22 37 82 ou par email à contact@paristableau.com
