Man kann beobachten, dass der deutsche Gelehrte Probleme hatte, arch{\"a}ologische Objekte des vorspanischen Amerika als Kunstwerke zu verstehen. Ursache dessen war seine humanistische Erziehung, welche die klassische griechisch-r{\"o}mische Antike als {\"a}sthetischen Maßstab favorisierte.

In the year 1803, for example, he noted "that the idea of a colony is itself an immoral idea, this idea of a land which is obliged to pay dues to another country." The colonial powers, wrote Humboldt, support intolerance, repression and slavery. However, he did not express his criticism in public during the expedition but entrusted it only to good friends and his diary. The lecture treats Humboldt's political stance during the expedition, based on human rights and his communicative role as a research traveller who, having returned to Europe, made his criticism public. Central to the lecture are examples of Humboldt's criticism of representatives of the colonial system. These make clear which important impulses the researcher gave to the independence movement and to the politicians of the young American states.}, language = {de} } @article{Lindquist2004, author = {Lindquist, Jason H.}, title = {"Under the influence of an exotic nature...national remembrances are insensibly effaced"}, series = {HIN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; international review for Humboldtian studies}, volume = {V}, journal = {HIN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; international review for Humboldtian studies}, number = {9}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2568-3543}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-35109}, pages = {44 -- 59}, year = {2004}, abstract = {My essay attends to a number of passages in Alexander von Humboldt's Personal Narrative in which the Prussian explorer expresses anxiety about the apparent dangers posed by the overwhelmingly productive tropical landscapes he observes. 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{Lubrich2002, author = {Lubrich, Oliver}, title = {„Egipcios por doquier"}, series = {HIN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; international review for Humboldtian studies}, volume = {III}, journal = {HIN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; international review for Humboldtian studies}, number = {5}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2568-3543}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-34835}, pages = {50 -- 75}, year = {2002}, 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.
