La locution vision du monde est aujourd'hui très régulièrement utilisée dans la presse écrite et dans les sciences humaines, mais sait-on que c'est au linguiste allemand, Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767 - 1835), que nous devons le concept de Weltansicht traduit en français par vision du monde ? Ce concept fondamental de la théorie linguistique humboldtienne désigne une perception du monde organisée par une langue particulière. Il permet à Humboldt d'élaborer une définition innovante du langage fondée sur la prise en compte de la diversité des langues, en intégrant d'une part le rapport avec la pensée et le monde extralinguistique et, d'autre part, le lien avec une communauté humaine. Le présent ouvrage a pour ambition de faire connaître ce concept, enraciné dans les problématiques anthropologique et linguistique de la fin du xviiie siècle et du début du xixe, sa place dans la théorie du langage humboldtienne, sa portée dans la linguistique contemporaine et sa force d'actualité.

In The Humboldtian Tradition , eleven scholars consider Wilhelm von Humboldt as a historical phenomenon and a contemporary symbol. Inspired by the growing body of literature that in recent years has problematized the modern research university, they put Humboldt’s basic academic principles into context and discuss their significance for the current debate about higher education. The authors draw on the latest research in order to bring the educational and research policies of our day into perspective. At a time when the university is undergoing deep-seated transformations worldwide, they address the question how we should relate to the ideas associated with Humboldt’s name. What is his relevance to the twenty-first century? Contributors are: Mitchell Ash, Pieter Dhondt, Ylva Hasselberg, Marja Jalava, Peter Josephson, Thomas Karlsohn, Claudia Lindén, Johan Östling, Sharon Rider, Hans Ruin, Susan Wright.

This book looks to the writings of prolific statesmen like D.F. Sarmiento, Estanislao Zeballos, and Euclides da Cunha to unearth the literary and political roots of the discipline of geography in nineteenth-century Latin America. Tracing the simultaneous rise of text-writing, map-making, and institution-building, it offers new insight into how nations consolidated their territories. Beginning with the titanic figures of Strabo and Humboldt, it rereads foundational works like Facundo and Os sertões as examples of a recognizably geographical discourse. The book digs into lesser-studied bulletins, correspondence, and essays to tell the story of how three statesmen became literary stars while spearheading Latin America’s first geographic institutes, which sought to delineate the newly independent states. Through a fresh pairing of literary analysis and institutional history, it reveals that words and maps—literature and geography—marched in lockstep to shape national territories, identities, and narratives.
