SUMMARY:Vortrag: Ulrike Gehring: „Shaping the Atmosphere: Weather Logs on Board Dutch Expedition Ships“
DESCRIPTION:\nIm Rahmen der Workshop-Reihe des Netzwerkes „Topographic Visual Media“ referiert Ulrike Gehring am 24. Oktober 2025 (digital) zum Thema „Shaping the Atmosphere: Weather Logs on Board Dutch Expedition Ships“.\nWeitere Informationen zum Netzwerk, dem Programm der nächsten Monate sowie die Zugangsdaten für den Vortrag:\n \nCoastal Profiles: A Cultural Technique between Water and Land\nThe Network Topographic Visual Media’s workshop series in the autumn and winter season 2025/26 will be focusing on coastal profiles. These visual media, dating mostly from the 17th to 19th centuries, occupy a space between maps and views. Coastal profiles are often featured on historic maps, either vertically folding up on a coastline, or placed along the edges as independent graphic elements. Series of coastal profiles are found in historic sailing manuals and were drawn in large numbers by sailors, naval officers, and professional draughtsmen who accompanied expeditions. In addition to local knowledge and visual orientation, the cultural technique of producing and reading coastal profiles was essential for the navigation along coasts, in contrast to oceanic navigation which relied on instruments, mathematical and astronomical calculations, and nautical charts. However, coastal profiles also depict the zones where water and land meet, zones of contact and risk, of transit, trade, piracy and espionage, of intersecting ecosystems, and of political and military interests.\nHow, then, can we consider the relationship between coastal profiles as visual media, and the complex social, political, economic, military and ecological processes of coastal regions? To what extent are the production and use of coastal profiles, as well as their medial and visual logics, connected to these ambivalent spaces?\nFr., 24 Oct 2025, 14:00–15:30 CET \nUlrike Gehring (Universität Trier) \nShaping the Atmosphere: Weather Logs on Board Dutch Expedition Ships\nFr., 21 Nov 2025, 14:00–15:30 CET\nWouter de Vries (Independent Researcher, Hoorn)\nCoastal Profiles: between cultural construction and technical skill\nFr., 23 Jan 2026, 14:00–15:30 CET\nKelly Presutti (Cornell University, Ithaca, New York)\nCoastal Infrastructure and the Production of a Maritime Aesthetic in France\nFr., 20 Feb 2026, 14:00–15:30 CET\nBernhard Siegert (Universität Weimar)\nCoastal Profiles, Line-of-Sight Navigation, and the Birth of the Seascape around 1600\nThe meetings will take place online via zoom.
