SUMMARY:Scientific instructions for travellers
DESCRIPTION:Scientific instructions for travellers \nThe proliferation of inquiries\, questionnaires\, and directions for scientific travellers is a defining feature of the early modern period\, ranging from Humanist agendas for Continental journeys to formal initiatives by Spanish authorities concerned with colonial administration. Exceptional growth in this practice occurred in a variety of seventeenth\, eighteenth and nineteenth-century contexts. This conference explores the traditions and preoccupations behind this activity in a series of different locations. \nWith participants from the UK\, Ireland\, Italy\, Denmark\, and Brazil\, 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 astronomers; travel in the Portuguese Atlantic world; the development of fieldwork practices; and the work of surveying in nineteenth-century Ireland. \n“Texts\, Contexts\, Culture” is funded under the Higher Education Authority\, under PRTLI4 http://www.hea.ie \nThe conference is supported by generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (http://www.mellon.org). \nScientific instructions for travellers \nInternational conference \nUniversity of Cambridge \n18 March 2011 \nRoom 1.11\, Faculty of Classics\, Sidgwick Ave. \n9.30 Registration and Welcome by Daniel Carey and Sadiah Qureshi \nSession 1: \nScience and instruction in the Luso-Spanish world  \nChair: Surekha Davies (Birkbeck\, University of London) \nEdward Collins (NUI Galway) \nTheory and Practice: Scientific Ambition and the Problem of Application in Sixteenth-Century Spain \nLorelai Kury (Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ)\, Rio de Janeiro) \nScientific Travel in the Portuguese Atlantic World during the Enlightenment \n11.00 Coffee and tea break \n\n11.15 Session 2:\n\nReordering knowledge in the early modern period \nChair: Sachiko Kusukawa (University of Cambridge) \nPaola Molino (European University Institute\, Florence) \nSystems of Knowledge in the Late Sixteenth-Century Scholarly World: Instructions for Travellers and Instructions for Librarians in Comparison \nDaniel Carey (NUI Galway) \nBacon\, Hartlib\, Boyle: Unstructuring Knowledge \n12.15 Response to the morning session by Joan-Pau Rubi̩s (London School of Economics) \n12.45 Lunch
