  abstract  = {Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), quien en su espectacular carta escrita en junio de 1829 desde Siberia y dirigida a su hermano Wilhelm rechazara contundentemente el cargo de director del hoy llamado Altes Museum en la isla de los Museos, nunca permiti{\´o} que le encadenaran a instituci{\´o}n alguna. Tanto su pensamiento como su escritura que se desarrollaron a lo largo de tres d{\´e}cadas y acompa{\~n}aron el quehacer de tres generaciones de cient{\´i}ficos, se alimentaban de sus viajes que le permitieron crear una ciencia desde el movimiento y en constante movilidad. En cuanto a la historia, no le interesaba lo acumulado, sino lo acomodado. La ciencia humboldtiana, fundada tanto emp{\´i}rica- como {\´e}ticamente, desenvolvi{\´o} una nueva forma de comprender el sistema "tierra" sobre la base de una l{\´o}gica relacional: todo es acci{\´o}n rec{\´i}proca. La presente contribuci{\´o}n dilucida el devenir hist{\´o}rico del pensamiento de Humboldt, pone de relieve sus mundos de lectura, sus mundos cartogr{\´a}ficos y sus mundos de la lengua en el contexto de la globalizaci{\´o}n acelerada y asimismo plantea los retos y desaf{\´i}os de una ciencia de la vida humboldtiana en el siglo XXI.},

  abstract  = {This article explores the link between the profound technological transformations of the nineteenth century and the life and work of the Prussian scholar Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859). It analyses how Humboldt sought to appropriate the revolutionary new communication and transportation technologies of the time in order to integrate the American continent into global networks of commercial, intellectual and material exchange. Recent scholarship on Humboldt's expedition to the New World (1799-1804) has claimed that his descriptions of tropical landscapes opened up South America to a range of 'transformative interventions' (Pratt) by European capitalists and investors. These studies, however, have not analysed the motivations underlying Humboldt's support for such intrusions into nature. Furthermore, they have not explored the role that such projects played in shaping Humboldt's understanding of the forces behind the progress of societies. To comprehend Humboldt's approval for human interventions in America's natural world, this study first explores the role that eighteenth-century theories of progress and the notion of geographical determinism played in shaping his conception of civilisational development. It will look at concrete examples of transformative interventions in the American hemisphere that were actively proposed by Humboldt and intended to overcome natural obstacles to human interaction. These were the use of steamships, electric telegraphy, railroads and large-scale canals that together enabled global trade and communication to occur at an unprecedented pace. All these contemporary innovations will be linked to the four motifs of nets, mobility, progress and acceleration, which were driving forces behind the 'transformation of the world' that took place in the course of the nineteenth century.},
