The present paper investigates the conceptual development of Alexander on Humboldt. The point of reference is his relation to Schelling and to a series of investigators of nature and of physicians closely connected to Naturphilosophie. It is shown that in the correspondence of Humboldt with this group the content underwent a transformation. Scientific exchanges and a general interpretative consensus were over the years more and more replaced by social cooperation over academic appointments, and collaboration over other political problems within the scientific establishment. Humboldt fit Schelling and other partners with whom he cooperated into a network of relationships that rested on mutual social support.
As traduccions para as linguas en proceso de normalizacion responden a unhas necesidades diferentes do que as traduccions que se fan, por exemplo, as linguas nacionais. A contribucion pretende unha analise ben polo miudo dunha traduccion galega de Asterix comparandoa co orixinal francés e coa traduccion espanola. En casos como o do galego, que durante moito tempo non contaba cunha norma fixada (ata hoxe, a norma fixada no ano 1982 e reformada en 1993 é discutida e probablemente sera reformada outra vez), a traduccion adquire unha importancia moi especial, pois a literatura en lingua galega, ademais de formar parte da normalizacion da lingua contribue a que a norma sexa reconecida e espallada na poboacion, ainda non moi acostumada a ve-la sua lingua escrita. A traduccion de comics por conseguinte xoga un papel moi importante xa que o seu obxectivo é sobre todo normalizar o uso da lingua galega nas xeracións novas e familiariza-la xuventude coa norma. Unha crítica das traduccións de cómics, por todo iso, ten que estar baseada tanto nunha análise orientada no texto de partida (unha comparación co texto de partida) como nunha análise orientada no texto de chegada, considerando aspectos externos do proceso de traducción e avaliando a eficacia do texto de chegada como ferramenta normalizadora.
La contribucion pretende aclarar un aspecto hasta ahora no exhaustivamente considerado a la hora de estudiar y evaluar la variacion lingüistica. Se trata de la frecuencia de uso, más dificilmente analizable que otros fenomenos lingüisticos, ya que exige el procesamiento de un corpus lo suficientemente extenso como para extraer las cantidades de datos absolutos necesarias para sacar conclusiones.
This article deals with a study on Catalan students' knowledge of Majorcan dialecticisms supposed to be known by students who obtained the Certificat C as issued by the Junta Permanent de Català. The results allow to draw some conclusions concerning the extremely poor state of knowledge of the Majorcan Catalan that these students seem to have. The article also discusses the interrelationship between these results and the fact that a large number of people in Majorca refuse the standardised form of the Catalan language.
Alexander von Humboldt has been characterized as the second, scientific discoverer of the New World, as the last universal scientist, Aristotle of modern times, etc. However, more or less hidden in his correspondence we find certain self-characterizations which are not that well-known. Some of them are quoted and discussed in the paper. Thus, an attempt is made to answer the question why Humboldt liked to call himself "the old man from the mountains", and whether or not he found it appropriate to be called "Aristotle of our age."
On the 17th of July 1800 Alexander von Humboldt was elected as an extraordinary member of the Prussian Académie royale des sciences et belles-lettres at Berlin. The paper first deals with Humboldt’s scientific activities before his election and then goes into detail as far as his integration into the work of the Academy is concerned. Humboldt was elected as a chimiste célèbre, but as a member of the Academy he did not work as a chemist. When Humboldt proposed in 1837 to classify the members of each class in special fields, he chose for himself the field of "mineralogy-geology".
Humboldt's works on Mexico
(2000)
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 géograficas, the Vues des Cordillères 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 "Beiträge zur Alexander von Humboldt-Forschung", as well as Humboldt’s handwritten estate as far as they are available to us.

Towards Global Consciousness. Alexander von Humboldt's Conception of Science and the emerging ethical Weltanschauung. In the context of recent reflections upon global ethics (Hans Küng), global democracy (Otfried Höffe) and a new cultural situation after the end of the Cold War (Clifford Geertz), Alexander von Humboldt's concept of global consciousness (Weltbewußtsein) marks a decisive point in the ungoing process of the construction of a new ethics of globalization. This article tries to show how Humboldt's transdisciplinary and intercultural conception of sience as WorldWideWeb integrates Kant's philosophical visions of global political institutions and formulates a critique of the non-empirical foundations of Hegel's teleological Weltanschauung. From his Visions of Nature and his Personal Narrative to his Cosmos, Humboldt's theory and practice of science help us to find a new ethos and new answers to the contemporary questions of divergent modernities.
