La «Relación de lugares y pueblos donde se saca la grana de la Ciudad de Cholula » (México) de 1600. Alcance y contenido

Asturias ha sido una región emigrante y América uno de los destinos más buscados por muchos de los asturianos emigrantes desde tiempos de la Edad Moderna. Fruto de esas migraciones, los archivos nobiliarios asturianos albergan algunos documentos que hacen referencia explícita al territorio americano o a las estancias de asturianos en América. En este trabajo se pretende dar a conocer un documento «americano» que hace referencia exclusiva a un territorio de América, la ciudad de Cholula (México) y que se conserva descontextualizado en un fondo nobiliario del occidente de Asturias. En él se hace una descripción cuantitativa y cualitativa del número de nopales y su cultivo en la Cholula del siglo XVI. Se realiza también un análisis de la naturaleza del documento como fuente histórica en relación con el fondo documental en el que se custodia y se contrasta con obras contemporáneas.

Charles P. Daly's Gendered Geography, 1860-1890

The American Geographical Society (AGS) serves as a case study for considering the nature of “gendered geography” in the nineteenth-century United States. This article links the ideals and programmatic interests of the society—which were fundamentally commercial in nature—with the personal subjectivity of its chief protagonist, Charles P. Daly, AGS president from 1864 until his death in 1899. Daly is presented as an “armchair explorer” who shifted the focus of the society away from statistical representations of the world toward the action packed narrative descriptions of the world supplied by embodied explorers in the field. The gender dynamics associated with the center versus the field provide a useful way to contrast both sides of Daly’s persona—as a scholar performing detached, careful study yet someone who also derived a great deal of personal authority by staging popular and dramatic spectacles in New York City, speechifying and presenting himself on stage at geographical society meetings with returning heroic explorers. Daly not only served as New York’ smost influential access point to the Arctic at the time, he also served as an important node in the reproduction of masculine culture in promotion of a particularly masculinist commercial geography. Key Words: American Geographical Society, Charles Patrick Daly, gender and geography, history of geography, masculinity.
