Cartography and community in the Hispanic world.
Following Joan Lluís Vives distinction between seeing and knowing, the author deals with several Early Modern city views, particularly that which draws the physic fabric of a city, or urbs, and that which represents its human, juridical and symbolic dimension, or civitas. The former influenced chorographic views and the latter favoured those called communicentric by the author. Nonetheless some difficulties in representing cities remained. Urban views and descriptions of Toledo, Ayacucho and Potosí, by El Greco, Felipe Guaman Poma and other painters from the colonial society are studied in detail.
