Los trabajos de la Comisión Topográfica en La Paz, Bolivia, a mediados del siglo XIX y la construcción del Estado nacional
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-12-28) Machaca, Victor Hugo
This article shows the work of the members of the Topographic Commission in La Paz, Bolivia, in order to understand the consolidation of the national State through cartography in the mid-nineteenth century. The city of La Paz was the center of its activities for the elaboration of an urban plan, a topographic map of the department and another of Lake Titicaca, which are analyzed in the context of the elaboration of a national geographical map. To develop this research, information from archives and libraries of different Bolivian cities and the National Historical Archive of Spain has been consulted.

Todo mezclado en el terreno: Los conocimientos geográficos de los mamelucos aplicados por los jesuitas en la producción cartográfica del Backlands paraguayo (1746-1753)
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-12-28) de Moura, Denise A. S.
Cartographic images made by Jesuits in the 18th century turned out to be transnational and locally mixed cognitive experiences, as these missionary agents of a global institution were forced to establish a collaborative relationship with the multicultural spaces where they settled and undertook their activities. One of the cartographic genres developed by the missionaries, the Paraquariae Provinciae, combined information and geographical knowledge of the mamelucos, a mestizo social type of Amerindian with white Portuguese settler which has been widely acknowledged but poorly elucidated by the historiography making process. The present paper aims to address these issues by applying concepts and methods of critical cartography in order to compare maps built by the Jesuits.

La cartografía de Felipe Guamán Poma de Ayala: El “Mapa Mundi” y las “Ciudades y villas”
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-12-28) Venturi, Fabio
The “Mapa Mundi del Reino de las Indias” contained in the Primer Nueva Corónica y Buen Gobierno of Felipe Guamán Poma de Ayala constitutes the introductory sheet to the chapter of “Ciudades y villas”. Compared with the contemporary maps of professional cartographers, it is noticeable how implausible the chronicler’s map appears. However, the lack of cartographic technique on the part of Guamán Poma is an irrelevant fact since the intention of the chronicler was to make a synthetic graph of the resources of the viceroyalty of Peru. The “Mapa Mundi” summarizes and complements the chapters of the “Ciudades y villas” and the “Tambos”, which, studied in conjunction with the previous chapter “Preguntas”, constitute an organic unit that, apparently, is connected to the Relaciones Geográficas de Indias, the system that the Spanish authorities implemented to be able to know the new social, cultural, and economic reality that was being formed in the colonies.
