  abstract  = {La „visi{\´o}n orientalista" de Alejandro de Humboldt es un simple t{\´e}rmino para designar un modo complejo de percepci{\´o}n y descripci{\´o}n empleado por el cient{\´i}fico alem{\´a}n en su relaci{\´o}n de viaje. Humboldt „orientaliza" a Am{\´e}rica por medio de numerosas met{\´a}foras estereotipadas, de comparaciones cient{\´i}ficas y analog{\´i}as econ{\´o}mico-coloniales, y perpet{\´u}a a su vez un „Orientalismo" filol{\´o}gico como el que ha analizado Edward Said. Sin embargo, de manera gradual, la cr{\´i}tica autorreflexiva y una serie de sutiles inversiones erosionan las oposiciones binarias y las construcciones coloniales. El texto de Humboldt emplea primeramente patrones eurocentristas para luego deconstruirlos. Lo que en un principio aparece como un s{\´i}ntoma, pasa luego a desestabilizar estrat{\´e}gicamente el concepto del „Oriente" como paradigma de la diferencia cultural y el „Orientalismo" como discurso imperial.},

  abstract  = {The study analyzes the process that leads to the elaboration of the thesis of a continuity between the Medieval Asia mission and the New World mission. This effort, undertaken by the Catholic historiography of the mission during the XIX century, is the result of the impulse provided by Alexander von Humboldt's studies about the discovery of America (Examen critique). The data about the geography of Asia collected by the missionaries-travelers working in the territory between Karakorum and Khanbalik during the XIII e XIV century reaches Christopher Colombus with the mediation of Roger Bacon, whom Humboldt himself esteems as a true cultural mediator. The conclusion of the article tries to identify reasons and modalities of the secularization of the missionary concept, i.e. the shift from the ideal of the propagation of the Christian message to a prevailing interest for cartography and topography, transformations arranged by a late medieval historiography that introduces into martyrolagia the loca toponomastica.},
