⹂Mission impossible?" Missionarissen als geografen en cartografen (ca. 1820-1920).

Abstract

“Mission impossible?” Missionaries as Geographers and Cartographers (c. 1820- 1920). — The geographical uncertainties of the evangelical field severely tested Christian missionaries. They tried to better understand them through a field study with a main cartographical impact. The scientific implementation facilitated missionary access to leading geographical societies and journals in France, Germany and the United Kingdom. They allowed missionaries throughout the nineteenth century to grow into a rather small, but varied group of research partners in an emerging modern geography science. However, this interaction has not always been a smooth one. Shifts in the political, religious and scientific climate in Europe often placed severe restrictions on missionary freedom in the exchange of geographical knowledge.

De geografische onzekerheden van het evangelische werkveld stelden christelijke missionarissen zwaar op de proef. Zij zochten die beter te begrijpen vanuit een terreinstudie met sterk cartografische inslag. De wetenschappelijke uitvoering hiervan faciliteerde de toegang van missionarissen tot leidende geografische genootschappen en tijdschriften in Frankrijk, Duitsland en het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Zij lieten missionarissen over de lange negentiende eeuw uitgroeien tot een vrij selecte, maar verscheiden groep van onderzoekspartners in een ontluikende moderne geografie. Toch verliep die interactie niet altijd zonder slag of stoot. Verschuivingen in het politiek, religieus en wetenschappelijk klimaat in Europa legden vaak ernstige beperkingen op aan de missionaire vrijheden in het delen van geografische kennis.
