Using ArcGIS, I map the ways in which primary and secondary sources describing an 1850s cholera epidemic in the Caribbean spatialize the epidemic. More specifically, I probe the scale at which varying narratives report the epidemic to consider whether it was understood as a broad, regional event, or at the level of specific colonies or islands. I draw upon post colonial and feminist critiques of the map, and keeping in view the situated nature of knowledge, create alternative maps of the epidemic. I approach the epidemic’s archival traces through the lens of archaeological theory, discussing them in relation to scale and movement.

“从某处观看”：绘制19世纪霍乱叙事

使用ArcGIS，我绘制了描述1850年代加勒比海霍乱流行的主要来源和次要来源将流行病空间化的方式。更具体地说，我探讨了各种叙事报告流行病的规模，以考虑将其理解为是一个广泛的区域性事件，还是特定殖民地或岛屿的水平。我借鉴了后殖民主义和女权主义对地图的评论，并根据知识的固有性质，制作了该流行病的替代地图。我通过考古学理论探讨了该流行病的档案痕迹，并讨论了其与规模和运动的关系。
