TY - JOUR A1 - Thiemer-Sachse, Ursula T1 - ¡Qué arte es comprender el arte ...! BT - La visión del arte indígena de América por Alejandro de Humboldt N2 - Die Sicht, die Alexander von Humboldt von indianischer Kunst hatte, kann man an den Notizen in den Reisetagebüchern erkennen, die dank des unermüdlichen Wirkens von Margot Faak zugänglich sind, und an vielen Bemerkungen in seinen Publikationen. Man kann beobachten, dass der deutsche Gelehrte Probleme hatte, archäologische Objekte des vorspanischen Amerika als Kunstwerke zu verstehen. Ursache dessen war seine humanistische Erziehung, welche die klassische griechisch-römische Antike als ästhetischen Maßstab favorisierte. Dennoch kämpfte er zu Gunsten der Erhaltung derartiger Objekte, die er als historische Monumente charakterisierte. N2 - La visión que tuvo Alejandro de Humboldt del arte indígena se la puede conocer por medio de sus notas en los diarios de viaje – que gracias a la laboriosa actividad de Margot Faak son accesibles – y sus publicaciones. Se observa que el erudito alemán tuvo problenas de comprender los objetos arqueológicos de la América prehispánica como piezas de arte, por causa de su educación humanística que favoreció la antigüedad clásica greco-romana como la medida estética. Sin embargo, luchó en favor del mantenimiento de tales objetos caracterizándolos como monumentos históricos.

In the long run these researches led him to changing his views from the "neptunistic" doctrine of Abraham Gottlob Werner to the concept of "vulcanism".

Humboldt auf seiner Amerikareise Erkundung und Erforschung, Reiselust und Erkenntnisstreben. Humboldt hat sein doppeltes Ziel klar benannt: Bekanntmachung der besuchten Länder, Sammeln von Tatsachen zur Erweiterung der physikalischen Geographie. Der Aufsatz ist in fünf Abschnitte gegliedert: Anliegen, Route, Methoden, Ergebnisse, Auswertung. N2 - In a similar way as Adalbert Stifter's narrator in the novel “Late summer” A. v. Humboldt combined exploration with research, fondness for travelling with striving for findings during his travel through South America. Humboldt clearly indicated his double aim: to report on the visited countries, to collect facts in order to improve physical geography. The treatise consists of five sections: object, route, methods, results, evaluation.

Only recently have new trends in the historiography, by historians of printed books and reading practices, and by social and cultural historians of knowledge, called for a fresh look and opened the way for new approaches. Taking Alexander von Humboldt as a paramount example, who expressly devoted his life to "observing and recording" the world, pen in hand, this paper explores the note-taking practices at work in his travel diaries and notebooks from the perspective of the history of scientific observation and cognitive practices. Four themes are successively considered : the question of method and apprenticeship ; the timing of note-taking practices ; the nature and status of the data jotted down on the page ; finally, their uses in the production of scientific knowledge. In the back and forth movement between the observation of the world and the writing of science, the notebook stood as a crucial intellectual step and cognitive tool.
