Download or read book German Representations of the Far North (17th-19th Centuries) written by Jan Borm and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German travellers, explorers, missionaries and scholars produced significant new knowledge about the Arctic in Europe and elsewhere from the 17th until the 19th century. However, until now, no English-language study or collective volume has been dedicated to their representations of the Arctic. Possibly due to linguistic barriers, this corpus has not been sufficiently taken into account in transnational and circumpolar approaches to the fast-growing field of Arctic Studies. This volume serves to heighten awareness about the importance of these writings in view of the history of the Far North. The chapters gathered here offer critical readings of manuscripts and publications, including travelogues, natural histories of the Arctic, newspaper articles and scholarly texts based on first-hand observations, as well as works of fiction. The sources are considered in their historical context, as political, religious, social, economic and cultural aspects are discussed in relation to discourses about the Arctic in general. The volume opens with a spirited preface by Professor Jean Malaurie, France’s most distinguished Arctic specialist and author of The Last Kings of Thule (1955).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Im Laufe der danischen Kolonialisierung gelangten viele Gronlander auf unterschiedliche Weise nach Danemark. Ausgehend von den Berichten uber diejenigen unter ihnen, die im 17. Jahrhundert mit Gewalt entfuhrt und nach Kopenhagen transportiert wurden, um vor Hofe vorgefuhrt und ausgestellt zu werden, unternimmt dieses Buch den Versuch, den Erfahrungen und Erlebnissen der Gronlander nachzuspuren, die in den folgenden Jahrhunderten mehr oder weniger freiwillig Danemark und Europa fur sich entdecken konnten. Unter den Bedingungen des aufgeklarten Pietismus wurde den zugereisten neubekehrten Heiden aus dem aussersten Norden in Danemark eine im europaischen Vergleich einmalige Aufmerksamkeit zuteil. Im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert bemuhte man sich in Europa wie auch in Gronland weniger um das individuelle Seelenheil der einzelnen Reisenden, sondern interessierte sich vielmehr fur ihre eigentumlichen Sitten, Gebrauche und Traditionen. Der Leser erfahrt nicht nur Wissenswertes uber ein bislang vernachlassigtes Kapitel der europaischen Kolonialpolitik, er sieht zugleich auch die moderne Welt mit den Augen der 'bekehrten Heiden' und 'zivilisierten Wilden'. Die in diesem Buch ubersetzten Texte erlauben es, einer Reihe von Gronlandern auf ihren Reisen nach Europa zu folgen und einige der Spuren und Narben aufzudecken, die die europaischen Erfahrungen bei ihnen hinterlassen haben. Daruber hinaus illustrieren historische Zeichnungen und Stiche die spannende Begegnung zweier grundverschiedener Kulturen.

Download or read book Legacies of David Cranz's 'Historie von Grönland' (1765) written by Felicity Jensz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-17 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together interdisciplinary scholars from history, theology, folklore, ethnology and meteorology to examine how David Cranz’s Historie von Grönland (1765) resonated in various disciplines, periods and countries. Collectively the contributors demonstrate the reach of the book beyond its initial purpose as a record of missionary work, and into secular and political fields beyond Greenland and Germany. The chapters also reveal how the book contributed to broader discussions and conceptualizations of Greenland as part of the Atlantic world. The interdisciplinary scope of the volume allows for a layered reading of Cranz’s book that demonstrates how different meanings could be drawn from the book in different contexts and how the book resonated throughout time and space. It also makes the broader argument that the construction of the Artic in the eighteenth century broadened our understanding of the Atlantic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iceland, Greenland, Northern Norway, and the Faroe Islands lie on the edges of Western Europe, in an area long portrayed by travelers as remote and exotic - its nature harsh, its people reclusive. Since the middle of the eighteenth century, however, this marginalized region has gradually become part of modern Europe, a transformation that is narrated in Karen Oslund’s Iceland Imagined. This cultural and environmental history sweeps across the dramatic North Atlantic landscape, exploring its unusual geography, saga narratives, language, culture, and politics, and analyzing its emergence as a distinctive and symbolic part of Europe. The earliest visions of a wild frontier, filled with dangerous and unpredictable inhabitants, eventually gave way to images of beautiful, well-managed lands, inhabited by simple but virtuous people living close to nature. This transformation was accomplished by state-sponsored natural histories of Iceland which explained that the monsters described in medieval and Renaissance travel accounts did not really exist, and by artists who painted the Icelandic landscapes to reflect their fertile and regulated qualities. Literary scholars and linguists who came to Iceland and Greenland in the nineteenth century related the stories and the languages of the “wild North” to those of their home countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together twenty-two authors from various countries who analyze travelogues on the Ottoman Empire between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. The travelogues reflect the colorful diversity of the genre, presenting the experiences of individuals and groups from China to Great Britain. The spotlight falls on interdependencies of travel writing and historiography, geographic spaces, and specific practices such as pilgrimages, the hajj, and the harem. Other points of emphasis include the importance of nationalism, the place and time of printing, representations of fashion, and concepts of masculinity and femininity. By displaying close, comparative, and distant readings, the volume offers new insights into perceptions of "otherness", the circulation of knowledge, intermedial relations, gender roles, and digital analysis.

Download or read book Whiteness and Postcolonialism in the Nordic Region written by Kristín Loftsdóttir and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the influence of imperialism and colonialism on the formation of national identities in the Nordic countries, exploring the manner in which contemporary discourses in Nordic society are rendered meaningful or obscured by references to past events and tropes related to the practices and ideologies of colonialism. Against the background of Nordic 'exceptionalism', it explores the manner in which the interwoven racial, gendered and nationalistic ideologies associated with the colonial project form part of contemporary Nordic identities. An important challenge to national identities that can become increasingly inward looking, Whiteness and Postcolonialism in the Nordic Region sheds light on the ways in which certain notions and structural inequalities, understood as residue from the colonial period, become recreated or projected onto different groups. Presenting a variety of case studies drawn from Sweden, Finland, Norway, Greenland, Denmark and Iceland, this book will be of interest to scholars across the social sciences and humanities conducting research in the fields of race and ethnicity, identity and belonging, media representations of 'the other' and colonialism and postcolonialism.

This book was released on 2022-08-27 with total page 1930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palgrave Handbook of the History of Human Sciences offers a uniquely comprehensive and global overview of the evolution of ideas, concepts and policies within the human sciences. Drawn from histories of the social and psychological sciences, anthropology, the history and philosophy of science, and the history of ideas, this collection analyses the health and welfare of populations, evidence of the changing nature of our local communities, cities, societies or global movements, and studies the way our humanness or ‘human nature’ undergoes shifts because of broader technological shifts or patterns of living. This Handbook serves as an authoritative reference to a vast source of representative scholarly work in interdisciplinary fields, a means of understanding patterns of social change and the conduct of institutions, as well as the histories of these ‘ways of knowing’ probe the contexts, circumstances and conditions which underpin continuity and change in the way we count, analyse and understand ourselves in our different social worlds. It reflects a critical scholarly interest in both traditional and emerging concerns on the relations between the biological and social sciences, and between these and changes and continuities in societies and conducts, as 21st century research moves into new intellectual and geographic territories, more diverse fields and global problematics.

Book excerpt: Wie reagieren Menschen auf immer komplizierter werdende Lebensumstände? Wie finden sie neue Orientierung, wenn bislang Vertrautes keine Geltung mehr beansprucht? Migranten stehen oft vor solchen Problemen. Aus dem Mischverhältnis zwischen Neueinordnung am Zuwanderungsort und Rückzug auf mitgebrachte soziale und kulturelle Bindungen können sich produktive, aber auch konfliktträchtige Formen des Zusammenlebens mit den Menschen der Aufnahmegesellschaft ergeben. Das Buch untersucht die Immigration nach Sachsen und in die Oberlausitz im 17. und frühen 18. Jahrhundert aus der Sicht von Zuwanderern und Aufnahmegesellschaft. Es wird gezeigt, wie Migranten mit einem Leben in fremder Umwelt umgingen, wie sie sich das Fremde vertraut machten und wie die einheimische Bevölkerung darauf reagierte.
