Wigen's first book, ''The Making of a Japanese Periphery, 1750-1920'' (1995), explores southern [[Nagano Prefecture]] in Japan and how the silk industry transformed it. ''The Making of Japanese Periphery, 1750-1920'' won the 1992 [[John K. Fairbank Prize]] of the [[American Historical Association]]. |
Wigen's first book, ''The Making of a Japanese Periphery, 1750-1920'' (1995), explores the Ina Valley of southern [[Nagano Prefecture]] in Japan and how the silk industry transformed it. She argues that the processes that generated these changes, especially local industrial development and political centralization, contributed to Japan's rise to imperial power. ''The Making of Japanese Periphery, 1750-1920'' won the 1992 [[John K. Fairbank Prize]] of the [[American Historical Association]]. |

Her second book, ''[[The Myth of Continents: A Critique of Metageography]]'' (1997), co-authored with Martin Lewis, explains why the present system of classifying certain landmasses as "continents" is comparatively recent and derived more from historical accident and political concerns than from natural geographical features. |

⚫ | Wigen examined Nagano prefecture as a whole in her third book,, ''A Malleable Map: Geographies of Restoration in Central Japan, 1600-1912'' (2010), which explores the roles of cartography, [[chorography]], and regionalism. ''A Malleable Map'', wrote one reviewer, examines how "protoindustrial enterprises" such as sericulture and papercraft appeared on maps and reflected larger economic and political changes over roughly four centuries from the [[Edo period|Tokugawa]] period through the [[Meiji period]]. Wigen focuses on how the relationship between regional and national identities "played an integral role in the creation of modern Japan".<ref name="MMap">{{cite book |last = Wigen |first = Kären |year = 2010 |title = A Malleable Map: Geographies of Restoration in Central Japan, 1600-1912 |publisher = University of California Press| location = Berkeley |isbn = 9780520259188 |page= 19}}</ref> She argues that the pictorial and nonpictorial ways in which the geographical location of [[Shinano, Nagano|Shinano]] was shown redefined the ways in which people conceived of the place. These ways were "malleable" because they changed according to the needs and priorities of Tokugawa shoguns, merchants, Meiji officials, travelers, and scholars.<ref>{{cite journal | title = Review | last = Chervin | first = Reed H. | journal = Studies on Asia | year = 2013 | volume = 3 | pages = 87–90 | url = http://studiesonasia.illinoisstate.edu/seriesIV/documents/Chervin_Studies_Oct2013.pdf | publisher = Illinois State University | access-date = 2015-04-02 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150404010505/http://studiesonasia.illinoisstate.edu/seriesIV/documents/Chervin_Studies_Oct2013.pdf | archive-date = 2015-04-04 | url-status = dead }}</ref> |

Her third book, ''[[The Myth of Continents: A Critique of Metageography]]'' (1997), co-authored with Martin Lewis, explains why the present system of classifying certain landmasses as "continents" is comparatively recent and derived more from historical accident and political concerns than from natural geographical features. Reviewers also generally welcomed ''The Myth of Continents''. One noted that readers would find it a "useful volume" which dealt with [[Eurocentrism]], [[Afrocentrism]], [[Orientalism]], [[postcolonialism|postcolonial thought]], and geographic education. Because it summarized classic and contemporary research, the volume was "an important stepping-stone between frequently obtuse, jargon-laden academic works on the one hand, and popular views of geography on the other." Lewis and Wigen's concern is [[metageography]], which they define as "the set of spatial structures through which people order their knowledge of the world" They find that geographies are "much more than just the ways in which societies are stretched across the earth's surface. They also include the contested, arbitrary, power-laden, and often inconsistent ways in which those structures are represented epistemologically."<ref>{{cite journal| first= Barney| last= Warf| url= http://www.africa.ufl.edu/asq/v1/4/reviews.pdf |title= Book Reviews| publisher= University of Florida Board of Trustees| journal= [[African Studies Quarterly]] |volume= 1| number= 4| year= 1998}}</ref> |

The anthropologist Rita Kipp in reviewing the book wrote: |
|||
{{quote|What is "mythical" about the canonical seven continents we learned in school is that their sometimes arbitrary boundaries can derail our generalizations about culture and history. The way "Africa" is used in much Afro-centric scholarship, for example, overlooks the cultural divide marked roughly by the Sahara Desert. Perhaps the most vexing continents, however, are Asia and Europe, the boundary between them being the tinder for many scholarly disputes. Martin and Wigen object, above all, when geographical determinism creeps into our talk of these "continents," as if the land forms themselves and their analytical separability explain why people live and think differently in these places.<ref name= kipp15>{{citation | url = http://asianetwork.org/ane-archived-issues/1999-february/anex1999-february-kipp.pdf |title = Book Review: The Myth Of Continents |first = Rita Smith |last = Kipp |journal = ASIANetwork Exchange| volume = 6 |number = 3 |year = 1999|p = 15| ref = none}}</ref>}} |
|||
Kipp confessed "I found myself in a defensive mood during much of this book, and sometimes bored with what I thought I already knew about Eurocentrism, Orientalism, and the social construction of all scholarly categories and boundaries. The total effect, however, is finally arresting."<ref name= kipp15 /> |

The geographical historian [[James M. Blaut]], however, while praising the usefulness of the book, called it "pretentious" and their argument "rather conventional and indeed rather conservative." He especially criticized their use of the term "metageography": "the word metageography seems to have been coined by the authors as an impressive-sounding synonym for 'world cultural geography.'"<ref>{{cite journal |last =Blaut |first =James M. |authorlink = |title =The Myth of Continents: A Critique of Metageography (Review) |journal =Journal of World History |volume =10 |issue = 1 |pages =205–210 |publisher = |location = |date =1999 |language = |url = http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/jwh/summary/v010/10.1blaut.html |jstor = |issn = |doi = 10.1353/jwh.2005.0002 |accessdate = |ref= none}}</ref> This led to a forum in the [[Journal of World History]], where Lewis and Wigen replied,<ref>{{cite journal |last1 =Lewis| first1= Martin W. |first2= Karen| last2= Wigen |authorlink = |title =Third Worldism or Globalism?

Kären Esther Wigen (born December 29, 1958)[citation needed] is an American historian, geographer, author and educator. She is the Frances and Charles Field Professor of history at Stanford University.[1]
Early life and education
[edit]Wigen was born in East Lansing, Michigan and grew up in Ohio. Her father was a physicist. When she was thirteen, Wigen's father was invited to work for six months in Japan. The family moved with him and stayed in Kobe. Wigen and her two sisters started studying Japanese at a local Canadian school. At the age of sixteen, she moved back to Japan during her senior year of high school.[2] Her final year of secondary education was spent at Seikyo Gakuin High School in the city of Kawachinagano in western Japan. She graduated from the University of Michigan in 1980, where she studied Japanese literature. Her undergraduate thesis, a translation of Shōtarō Yasuoka's A View by the Sea was published by Columbia University Press in 1984 and won the Japan–U.S. Friendship Commission Prize for the Translation of Japanese Literature.[2] Wigen earned her doctorate at the University of California at Berkeley in geography in 1990.[1]
Career
[edit]Wigen taught at Duke University beginning in 1990.[2] As of 2023, she is Frances and Charles Field Professor of History, Stanford University.[1][3] She specializes in East Asia, and she teaches Japanese history and history of cartography. Wigen collaborated on projects with the David Rumsey Map Center,[4] located in Stanford's Green Library, which opened for public in April 2016. The center showcases a collection of 150,000 maps donated by real-estate developer and map collector David Rumsey. Accumulated over 40 years, the diverse collection includes atlases, globes, and children's maps, with a particular focus on North and South America. In a statement to the Stanford Daily, Wigen said: "The center addresses one of the key concerns of historians in the computer age: How are we going to make sure key materials survive?"[5]
Works
[edit]Wigen's first book, The Making of a Japanese Periphery, 1750-1920 (1995), explores the Ina Valley of southern Nagano Prefecture in Japan and how the silk industry transformed it. She argues that the processes that generated these changes, especially local industrial development and political centralization, contributed to Japan's rise to imperial power. The Making of Japanese Periphery, 1750-1920 won the 1992 John K. Fairbank Prize of the American Historical Association.
Her second book, The Myth of Continents: A Critique of Metageography (1997), co-authored with Martin Lewis, explains why the present system of classifying certain landmasses as "continents" is comparatively recent and derived more from historical accident and political concerns than from natural geographical features.
Wigen examined Nagano prefecture as a whole in her third book,, A Malleable Map: Geographies of Restoration in Central Japan, 1600-1912 (2010), which explores the roles of cartography, chorography, and regionalism. A Malleable Map, wrote one reviewer, examines how "protoindustrial enterprises" such as sericulture and papercraft appeared on maps and reflected larger economic and political changes over roughly four centuries from the Tokugawa period through the Meiji period. Wigen focuses on how the relationship between regional and national identities "played an integral role in the creation of modern Japan".[6] She argues that the pictorial and nonpictorial ways in which the geographical location of Shinano was shown redefined the ways in which people conceived of the place. These ways were "malleable" because they changed according to the needs and priorities of Tokugawa shoguns, merchants, Meiji officials, travelers, and scholars.[7]
In April 2015, she delivered the Edwin O. Reischauer Lectures at Harvard University on the topic "Where in the World? Mapmaking at the Asia-Pacific Margin, 1600-1900."[3]
As an editor, Wigen worked on scholarly books on the history of Japan, cartographic history, and global maritime history. These include Seascapes: Maritime Histories, Littoral Cultures, and Trans-Oceanic Exchanges (co-editor with Jerry H. Bentley and Renate Bridenthal), Cartographic Japan: A History in Maps (co-edited with Fumiko Sugimoto and Cary Karacas),[8] and Time in Maps: From the Early Modern Era to our Digital Age (co-edited with Caroline Winterer). Cartographic Japan won the Choice Outstanding Academic Titles award from the Association of College and Research Libraries.
