In these passages, the excesses of an "exotic nature" threaten European identity and modes of civilization—and they trouble the accuracy of Humboldt's own observational project. I also explore Humboldt's related worry that South American vegetable (and visual) overload will exert a destabilizing effect on his aesthetic sensibility, disrupting his ability to represent the "New Continent" accurately in writing. Finally, I sketch the influence of Humboldt's representations of tropical excess on nineteenth-century British cultural thought and literary practice. Studying the instabilities experienced by Personal Narrative's expatriates and colonists promises to draw out important tensions latent in Humboldt's treatment of tropical landscape and to illuminate broader epistemological and aesthetic shifts being worked out during the period.}, language = {en} } @article{RebokWinkle2019, author = {Rebok, Sandra and Winkle, Timothy}, title = {"Mason without apron"}, series = {HiN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; international review for Humboldtian studies}, volume = {XX}, journal = {HiN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; international review for Humboldtian studies}, number = {38}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2568-3543}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-43473}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-434735}, pages = {31 -- 50}, year = {2019}, abstract = {W{\"a}hrend das Fehlen einer religi{\"o}sen Haltung in Humboldts Werk, sowie die Kritik, die er diesbez{\"u}glich erhalten hat, allgemein bekannt sind, ist sein m{\"o}glicher Bezug zur Freimaurerei noch weitgehend unerforscht.

The focus is on their trip from Gen{\`e}ve to Kabul that Ella Maillart and Annemarie Schwarzenbach made together in 1939/1940 and Nicolas Bouvier 1953/1954 with the artist Thierry Vernet. The comparison shows the strong connection between the journey and life and between ars vivendi and travel literature. This book also gives an overview of and organises the numerous terms, genres, and categories that already exist to describe various travel texts and proposes the new term travelling narration. The travelling narration looks at the text from a narratological perspective that distinguishes the author, narrator, and protagonist within the narration. In the examination, ten motifs could be found to characterise the travelling narration: Culture, Crossing Borders, Freedom, Time and Space, the Aesthetics of Landscapes, Writing and Reading, the Self and/as the Other, Home, Religion and Spirituality as well as the Journey. The importance of each individual motif does not only apply in the 1930s or 1950s but also transmits important findings for living together today and in the future.}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2012, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {Worldwide : Living in Transarchipelagic Worlds}, isbn = {978-8-48-489670-8}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2020, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {Wilhelm \& Alexander von Humboldt or: Humboldtian Science}, series = {Wilhelm und Alexander von Humboldt - Berlin Cosmos}, journal = {Wilhelm und Alexander von Humboldt - Berlin Cosmos}, editor = {Spies, Paul and Tintemann, Ute and Mende, Jan}, publisher = {Wienand}, address = {K{\"o}ln}, isbn = {978-3-86832-559-1}, pages = {19 -- 23}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2017, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {Welterleben/Weiterleben}, series = {Daphnis : Zeitschrift f{\"u}r mittlere deutsche Literatur}, volume = {45}, journal = {Daphnis : Zeitschrift f{\"u}r mittlere deutsche Literatur}, number = {3-4}, publisher = {Editions Rodopi BV}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0300-693X}, doi = {10.1163/18796583-04503002}, pages = {343 -- 388}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Welterleben and Weiterleben are what determine the second globalization (of four previously explored) whose constantly accelerating dynamic, vectorization, this essay explores. On the basis of selected writings of Georg Forster, Alexander von Humboldt, and Adelbert von Chamisso, the author highlights the increasing speed with which knowledge, especially in the experiential sciences, is produced and disseminated following the routes of ever-widening trade speeded along by globalization. The notion of 'vectopia' stands for the connection of utopia and uchronia in space and time in such a way that the experience of the world, expanded worldwide, contains within it a Weiter-Leben, a 'living-further' that is to be understood first in a spatial, and not yet temporal, sense, of what Forster called Erfahrungswissen, or 'experiential knowledge.' Vectopia, as elaborated here, has a material dimension that relates to the physical person, the body, the experience of the world that cannot occur without the constant changing of place, without a journeying that is again and again recommenced. Vectopia develops the projection of a life not from space or from time alone, but by their combination. Vectopia is more than a concept, it is a thought-figure: it is vitally connected to life, and thus a life-figure. It opens itself to a type of knowledge that stands almost at the threshold of a further life, indeed, of a Weiterleben that, opening itself to a 'living-onward,' resides beyond space, time, and movement.}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2005, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {Wandering Networks : Euphoria and the Dead Ends of Science in Alexander von Humboldt's Personal Narrative}, year = {2005}, language = {en} }
