We find the trans-Atlantic century represented by ancient European cartography symbols such as the 1630 "Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis" from Dutch cartographer Hendrik Hondius or the portrait of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci dressed in a green robe. In the original Hondius' map, the oval decorative frames contained potraits of Great European scientist. Those portraits are replaced by workers and professionals to depict the workforce driving the Asian nations' growth and to represent how the intensity of commercial ties veered from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Ancient maps were the result of great voyages of exploration. The discoveries made by seamen allowed tradesmen to extend their reach to peoples from around the world. Merchants weaved trade routes which consequently gave cities a flourishing life. Like the commercial activity between Europe and the West Indies in the 15th century, today we witness the intense economic and the increasing political activity taking place in the vast Pacific region. In the background we find a map from 1418 that displays the world according to the explorations made by the Chinese admiral, Zheng He. According to the Chinese characters inscribed in the original bamboo paper, it is possible to read the words"general chart of the integrated world." Today in the digital era, we use the cartography laid by Google to connect to each other. The Google Maps pins scattered in the metropoles from both sides of the Pacific serve as a representation of an integrated world. Like the ancient maps, this new digitalized cartography is shaping our sense of belonging to the world. Columbia | SIPA Journal of International
