Abstract (2. Language): 
The essay investigates how early modern maps of the New World both as a mode of representation (i.e., a view of the self) and as a scopic instrument (i.e., a view of the other) translated the European view of the other as monstrous and/or female body (the latter on the verge of object-ification), consonant with its representation in anatomical illustrations belonging to the early modern “culture of dissection.” Both early modern maps and anatomical illustrations were predicated on the disciplinary zeal of modernity, which often successfully suppressed the workings of its rhetoric, and were the output of white men trying to conquer, know, tame and colonize a confected other construed in terms of (abject) bodiliness or irrationality.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu makale hem sunuþ modu (kendisine bakýþ) hem de skopik araç (diðerlerine bakýþ) açýsýndan Erken Dünya'nýn ilk dönem modern haritalarýnýn diðerlerine canavar ve/veya kadýn vücuduna sahip þekilde bir bakýþ açýsýna sahip olan Avrupalý bakýþ açýsýný nasýl yorumladýðý hakkýndadýr. Hem modern çaðlarýn ilk dönemindeki haritalar hem de anatomik resimler, retorik çalýþmalarýna sýklýkla baþarýlý þekilde baskýn gelen modernlik kavramý açýsýndan deðerlendirilmiþ ve bedensellik ya da oransýzlýk terimleriyle öteki kavramýný keþfetmeye, bilmeye, eðitmeye ve sömürgeleþtirmeye çalýþan beyaz adamýn çalýþmalarýnýn bir sonucu olarak incelemektedir.
