NOMIS Lecture by Adrian Anagnost\, followed by apéro.

\n< p>Mapping Race and \;Ecology \;at the Gulf of Mexico
At the nexus of marshland and sea\, the Mississippi River Delta is a chall enging landscape for both inhabitants and image makers. The terrain is sca rcely buildable\, and its instability troubles rigid conceptualizations of landscapes and seascapes. Mapmakers have struggled to depict the interpen etrating salt and freshwaters\, shoals\, and islands.
In the early-e ighteenth century\, imperial projects intensified\, and the region became imbricated in the transatlantic slave trade. A rapid increase in map produ ction \;showed efforts to navigate the area and know the landscape. Th is presentation analyzes the image strategies of French marine maps\, with additional attention to Spanish\, English\, and Indigenous spatial viewpo ints\, at a time when colonial investment was intensifying. Maps and drawi ngs reveal how colonial expansion\, imperial power\, and enslavement were set against a natural landscape that thwarted cartographic fixity.
