    Biography

    Anne-Rieke van Schaik (1995) completed her studies in Art History (BA), History (RMA) and Book Studies (MA, cum laude) at the University of Amsterdam. Since October 2022, she works as a PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam on the project Navigating through Narratives: Cartographic Storytelling in the Early Modern Low Countries (c. 1550-1750). She is a member of the research group Explokart at the Amsterdam School for Heritage, Memory and Material Culture, affiliated to the Allard Pierson and the UvA.

    PhD project - Navigating through Narratives: Cartographic Storytelling in the Early Modern Low Countries (ca. 1550-1750)

    In the early modern Low Countries, events (e.g. warfare, disasters, voyages) were narrated by ‘story maps’, which combine narrative and spatial data to communicate a story to a wide audience. How and why did story maps, produced in the early modern Netherlands, communicate, disseminate, and shape narratives concerning events (taking place ca. 1550-1750)? This project investigates the claim that these publications actively shaped public views, reached new audiences, and created a specific understanding of space, the past and the present. A new narrative-cartographical methodology will be developed to analyze and interpret these ‘map narratives’ and to deeper understand the dynamic interplays between cartography, storytelling, public opinion, and media in the early modern period.
