  abstract  = {Der vorliegende Text versucht, das in der Humboldt-Forschung weithin bekannte und gut erforschte Thema „Humboldt und die Sklaverei" biographisch neu einzuordnen und orientiert sich dabei an folgender These: Humboldt durchl{\"a}uft in den Jahrzehnten nach Beginn seiner Reise durch die amerikanischen Tropen (1799-1804) verschiedene Phasen in der Besch{\"a}ftigung mit dem Thema Sklaverei. Im Laufe dieser Phasen, die keineswegs einer chronologischen Ordnung folgen, sondern zum Teil parallel verlaufen, nimmt Humboldt verschiedene soziale Rollen an, die ihren Ausdruck in spezifischen Haltungen und Handlungen finden. In ihrer Summe zeichnen sie ein f{\"u}r das Verst{\"a}ndnis von Humboldts Pers{\"o}nlichkeit typisches Psychogramm: ein selbstbewusster Moralist, ein rigoroser, beinahe kriminalistisch agierender Wissenschaftler, ein politisch zur{\"u}ckhaltender Akteur.},

  abstract  = {In this paper we discuss how Alexander von Humboldt conceived a past to New Spain in his Political Essay on New Spain (1811) and how this text was, in turn, appropriated by the Mexican historiography during the 19th century. In order to do so, we analyze how the Prussian drew from American sources, particularly from the text of the Jesuit Francisco Javier Clavijero, written shortly before. We also study Humboldt's conceptions of text and of history, highlighting the place of the indigenous in the composition of his reasoning. Finally, we give examples of how the Mexican nationalist historiography read and reinterpreted the Political Essay.},

  abstract  = {Humboldt wrote about Mexico from the perspective of a scientific explorer and naturalist. His works include his diaries, the Essai politique sur le royaume de la Nouvelle-Espagne, the Tablas g{\´e}ograficas, the Vues des Cordill{\`e}res and a geographic atlas. Concerning the scientific aspect, the lack of a section on Mexico in the Relation historique is not a real deficit, since this can be found in the Essai. But only the diaries and letters from the journey, both published by the Alexander-von-Humboldt Research Centre, Berlin, can be considered an adequate substitute. The following will show the origin of Humboldt's writings on Mexico, offer historical and bibliographical facts and present the publications "Beitr{\"a}ge zur Alexander von Humboldt-Forschung", as well as Humboldt's handwritten estate as far as they are available to us.},
