This lecture by historian and political scientist Farish explores the role of colonial cartography, and the relationship between maps and power. In particular, Farish focuses on a 200 year-old map published in “The History of Java” (1817) by Stamford Raffles, the first Lieutenant-Governor of British Java - credited with discovering many of its ancient ruins, as well as the ‘founding’ of modern Singapore.
