The Plausible
Introduction to Part 1
1 Plausible Geographies: the Expectation of New Worlds
?1 White on White: Making Room on World Maps for Posing New Questions
?2 A World of Islands and Continents
?3 Discovering a World: the Quarta Pars or the Unexpected Continent
?4 Dreaming of a World: the Quinta Pars or the Expected Continent
2 Topographies of Hypothesis, Ways of Writing Questions
?1 Ellipsis: Interrupted Geographies Awaiting More Information
?2 The Shapes of the Unknown: Geometry
?3 Aditamento : the Unknown as Epilogue
3 Mirrors and Mirages
?1 The Mirror as Device: from Mimesis to Distortion
?2 The Southern Ocean as a mirror
?3 On the Other Side of the Mirror: Plus ultra equinoctialem and the Cosmographical Imagination in Symmetric Key
?4 Seas and Skies: a Play of Mirrors
?5 Mirror-Toponyms
?6 From Mirror to Mirage: From Plausible Illusion to Reinvented Fiction
part 2
The Poorly Explored: Nineteenth Century Patagonia
Introduction to Part 2
4 Emptying: Blank as an Omen of Exploration
?1 Terra incognita or nondum plenum cognita: From the Unknown to the Little-Known, the Genesis of a Transformation
?2 Preparing Space: from White to Blank
?3 Deletion: Blank as a Deliberate Act
?4 Blank as Moment Zero
5 Conquering the Realms of the Foreign
?1 Patagonia's Foreignness
?2 A Desert "That is Good for Nothing"
?3 Toward the Positivity of the Desert: the Unutterable Becomes the Unuttered
6 Ultimatum to the Unknown: the Banishment of the Blank
?1 Tamed Deserts: the Cartographic Rhetoric that Turned Patagonia into Provinces
?2 Putting the Blank on the Other Side: Transforming the Blank into the Foreign
part 3
The Non-Visible: the Landscape of the Abyss at the Bottom of the Oceans
Introduction to Part 3
7 Shelters from the Fearful Unknown: Islands amid the Darkness
?1 The Insular Drive: a Hinge between the Inside and the Outside
?2 Leaving the Islands to Venture into the Endless Blue
?3 Blank Oceans, Full Oceans
8 The Naked Ocean: the Spectacle of the Non-Visible
?1 The Image as a Device for Viewing the Unseen: the Power of Abstraction
?2 Seeing the World in Miniature
?3 Mapping the Non-Visible: Creating the Impossible Landscape
?4 The Nude Ocean or the Curtains of the World Theater
9 Beyond the Shadows: Going Down to the Bottom (to Reach the Illusion of Seeing)
?1 The Darkness of the Colourless and the Deep: from Gloom to Truth
?2 Bringing the Bottom to the Surface: Bathymetric Marks
?3 Measuring to See: the Geometric Gaze
Conclusion: the Unknown, Inaccessible Geographies
?1 Blank and White Geographies
?2 Terrae incognitae: the Positivity of a Negativity
?3 Beyond the Cases: the Languages and Categories of the Unknown, the Flexibility of the Unchanging
