The voyages of exploration and discovery during the period of European maritime expansion and the immense amount of information and artefacts they produced about our knowledge of the world have maintained a difficult, if not non-existent, relationship with the main historiographical lines of the history of early modern science. This article attempts to problematize this relationship based on a historical account that seeks to highlight the scientific and institutional mechanisms that made the Magellan-Elcano voyage, the first modern voyage, possible. The text argues that this voyage was the first modern voyage because it allowed the construction of a new scientific and cartographic image of the globe and contributed to our understanding of the world as a global world, altering the foundations on which modern European economic and geographic thought was based. In that sense, the voyage was something extraordinary, but not completely unexpected. It responded to a complex process of expansionary policy and technical development that dated back to the 15th century, which in 1519 was sufficiently articulated to carry out a great feat.

制作世界的全球形象:第一次环绕地球时的科学、宇宙学和导航,1492-1522

欧洲海上扩张时期的探索和发现之旅,以及它们产生的关于我们对世界知识的大量信息和人工制品,与欧洲历史的主要史学路线保持着艰难的(如果不是不存在的话)关系。早期现代科学。本文试图根据历史记载对这种关系进行问题化,该历史记载旨在强调使第一次现代航行麦哲伦-埃尔卡诺航行成为可能的科学和制度机制。文本认为,这次航行是第一次现代航行,因为它允许构建一个新的科学和全球地图图像,并有助于我们将世界理解为一个全球性的世界,改变了现代欧洲经济和地理思想的基础。从这个意义上说,这次航行是非同寻常的,但并非完全出乎意料。它响应了可追溯到 15 世纪的扩张性政策和技术发展的复杂过程,在 1519 年,这一过程得到了充分的阐述,可以实现一项伟大的壮举。
