Resumen
- The article proposes the term "cartodoxy" to describe the widespread geometric understanding of space during the Early Modern period, replacing the term "map-mindedness." It discusses the transition from medieval to modern conceptions of space, emphasizing the role of cartographic knowledge dissemination in the Renaissance. The proposal aims to enhance translatability across languages and facilitate understanding in studies of Early Modern literature and the history of mentalities. The term "cartodoxy" is introduced as a linguistic alternative to "map-mindedness," grounded in its applicability across modern languages. The article acknowledges the support of collaborators and funding sources within the context of a research project funded by the Spanish government. Overall, it advocates for the adoption of "cartodoxy" to denote the geometric conceptualization of space in the Early Modern period, offering a more linguistically adaptable alternative to "map-mindedness."
