Abstract Historical geographers increasingly address editorial networks as an important element in contextual and situated readings of knowledge production. Recent work has shown that large publishing houses, such as Murray in Britain, Hachette in France and Perthes in Germany, played a primary role in shaping geographical knowledge. This paper's contribution is an analysis of the collaboration between Elisee Reclus (1830–1905) and Hachette over the Nouvelle Geographie universelle (NGU), a classic work in French geography that encompassed nineteen volumes between 1876 and 1894. Drawing upon archival sources, such as the published and unpublished correspondence between Reclus, his collaborators and the publishers, I argue that Reclus' negotiations with this mainstream publishing house were part of a political strategy that was deployed by early anarchist geographers to disseminate their views among broader audiences than just specialist and militant groups. This was a successful bargain for both sides, as there were approximately twenty thousand copies of each volume of the NGU printed. To understand this strategy of public communication and political influence, I examine the international group of anarchist geographers who were involved in Reclus' editorial endeavour within the wider context of Hachette's editorial networks. This involves situating the knowledge they produced in two locations: Paris, where Hachette's headquarters were established, and Clarens, the Swiss village to which Reclus was exiled, and where he worked with collaborators such as Pyotr Kropotkin and Leon Metchnikoff to establish the ‘centre of calculation’ for his large encyclopaedia.

网络印刷文化:阿歇特出版社 Reclus 的 Nouvelle Géographie Universelle

摘要 历史地理学家越来越多地将编辑网络视为知识生产的上下文和情境阅读中的一个重要元素。最近的工作表明,大型出版社,例如英国的 Murray、法国的 Hachette 和德国的 Perthes,在塑造地理知识方面发挥了主要作用。本文的贡献是对 Elisee Reclus (1830–1905) 和 Hachette 在 Nouvelle Geographie Universelle (NGU) 方面的合作分析,这是一部法国地理学的经典著作,包含 1876 年至 1894 年间的 19 卷。 Reclus、他的合作者和出版商之间已发表和未发表的信件,我认为 Reclus 的 与这家主流出版社的谈判是早期无政府主义地理学家部署的政治战略的一部分,目的是在更广泛的受众中传播他们的观点,而不仅仅是专家和激进团体。这对双方来说都是一次成功的交易,因为每卷 NGU 印刷了大约两万份。为了理解这种公共传播和政治影响的策略,我考察了在阿歇特编辑网络的更广泛背景下参与 Reclus 编辑工作的国际无政府主义地理学家团体。这涉及将他们产生的知识置于两个地点:巴黎,阿歇特的总部所在地,以及 Reclus 流放的瑞士村庄克拉伦斯,
