SUMMARY:Scientific instructions for travellers
DESCRIPTION:Scientific instructions for travellers \nInternational conference \n8-9 October 2010 \nMoore Institute Seminar Room (203) \nThe development of inquiries\, questionnaires\, and directions for scientific travellers proliferated in the early modern period\, ranging from the chorographers surveying particular places in Europe\, to the Royal Society’s queries for destinations around the world. The growth in this practice in eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and into the era of professional anthropology is remarkable. This conference explores the traditions and preoccupations behind this practice in a series of contexts and traditions. With participants from Italy\, Germany\, Switzerland\, America\, Argentina\, Britain\, and Ireland\, the conference will address different national and disciplinary traditions\, including the contribution of chorography; directions for collecting the natural world; the institutional role of the Consejo de Indias; instructions for geologists and anthropologists; the development of fieldwork practices; and instructions for specific expeditions to Australia\, Kamchatka\, and elsewhere. Among the figures discussed will be Sebastian MÌ_nster\, William Petty\, John Locke\, Edward Lhuyd\, Fran̤ois Bernier\, and J.M. de G̩rando. \nThe conference is supported by generous funding from the Andrew W.
