報刊雜誌是知識傳播的重要形式，《東西洋考每月統記傳》這份深具地理知識的刊物，代表中西文化交流呈現的里程碑。西方傳教士郭實獵透過辦報的方式，使中國人藉此從語文的親近性認識西方科學文明的價值。從閉關自守到認識與接受，甚至在知識分子推動政治關懷的經世之學中，知識分子對西學的深刻自省與反應，促使傳統政教體系內部微妙的變化。這一份刊物雖不以論政為核心，然而做為一個引借西方知識的文本場域，在討論世界地理時，透過地圖符號的權力分析，重新調整世界觀的方式，實則已隱含將政治闡述的內核，視為是該刊物的基本要素！從地圖意識中，郭實獵依各式主題的重新安排與編輯，以及主體式的符號表達內容與過程，凸顯了地圖並非僅止於單純、客觀的符號展現，而是藉此有意識地主控通往意義世界的手段方式。本文便是期望透過《東西洋考每月統計傳》此份刊物的地理意識與內容，來討論西方地理意識如何透過報刊形式初步地在中國傳布的過程。
