| Zusammenfassung: | "The Invention of Humboldt is a game-changing volume of essays by leading scholars of the Hispanic world that explodes many myths about Alexander von Humboldt and his world. Rather than 'follow in Humboldt's footsteps' this book outlines the new critical horizon of 'post-Humboldtian' Studies: the archaeology of all that lies buried under the Baron's epistemological footprint. Contrary to the popular image of Humboldt as a solitary 'adventurer' and 'hero of science' surrounded by New World nature, The Invention of Humboldt demonstrates that the Baron's opus and practice was largely derivative of the knowledge communities and archives of the Hispanic world. Although Humboldtian writing has invented a powerful cult that has served to erase the sources of his knowledge and practice, in truth Humboldt did not 'invent nature' nor did he pioneer global science: he was the beneficiary of Iberian natural science and globalization. Nor was Humboldt a pioneering, 'postcolonial' cultural relativist. Instead, his anthropological views of the Americas were Orientalist and historicist, and in most ways were less enlightened than those of his Creole contemporaries. This book will reshape the landscape of Humboldt scholarship. It is essential reading for all those interested in Alexander von Humboldt, the Hispanic American enlightenment, and the global history of science and knowledge"-- |

Rather than 'follow in Humboldt's footsteps' this book outlines the new critical horizon of 'post-Humboldtian' Studies: the archaeology of all that lies buried under the Baron's epistemological footprint. Contrary to the popular image of Humboldt as a solitary 'adventurer' and 'hero of science' surrounded by New World nature, The Invention of Humboldt demonstrates that the Baron's opus and practice was largely derivative of the knowledge communities and archives of the Hispanic world. Although Humboldtian writing has invented a powerful cult that has served to erase the sources of his knowledge and practice, in truth Humboldt did not 'invent nature' nor did he pioneer global science: he was the beneficiary of Iberian natural science and globalization. Nor was Humboldt a pioneering, 'postcolonial' cultural relativist. Instead, his anthropological views of the Americas were Orientalist and historicist, and in most ways were less enlightened than those of his Creole contemporaries. This book will reshape the landscape of Humboldt scholarship. It is essential reading for all those interested in Alexander von Humboldt, the Hispanic American enlightenment, and the global history of science and knowledge"-- Humboldt, Alexander von 1769-1859 (DE-588)118554700 gnd rswk-swf Kolonialismus (DE-588)4073624-6 gnd rswk-swf Wissensproduktion (DE-588)4660420-0 gnd rswk-swf Lateinamerika (DE-588)4074032-8 gnd rswk-swf Humboldt, Alexander von / 1769-1859 / Travel / Latin America Humboldt, Alexander von / 1769-1859 / Influence Natural history / Latin America / History / 19th century Latin America / Historiography Latin America / Colonial influence Humboldt, Alexander von / 1769-1859 Colonial influence Historiography Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) Natural history Travel Latin America 1800-1899 History (DE-588)1071861417 Konferenzschrift 2019 Quito gnd-content Humboldt, Alexander von 1769-1859 (DE-588)118554700 p Lateinamerika (DE-588)4074032-8 g Wissensproduktion (DE-588)4660420-0 s Kolonialismus (DE-588)4073624-6 s DE-604 Thurner, Mark (DE-588)1145913210 edt Cañizares-Esguerra, Jorge (DE-588)133097455 edt Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-1-032-13917-3 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-1-032-13916-6 https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003231479 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
