Le voyage d'Alexandre de Humboldt en Amérique espagnole ouvre la voie aux grandes expéditions scientifiques du XIXè siècle. Naturaliste, physicien, géographe et historien, Humboldt a rapporté d'Amérique une masse énorme de données et d'observations. Les trente volumes de son Voyage aux régions équinoxiales du Nouveau Continent couvrent trois vastes domaines: sciences de la Terre, sciences naturelles et sciences de l'homme. Charles Minguet présente et analyse les résultats du voyage et surtout l'étude humboldtienne des groupes humains, coexistant en Amérique sous la domination espagnole. Humboldt réévalue le passé indigène précolombien, en fondant l'anthropologie, l'ethnologie et l'archéologie américanistes. En même temps, il dresse un tableau géographique, économique, politique, total et chiffré.

The book addresses the relationship between the literary representations of North Greenland and the Inughuit people in Knud Rasmussen’s expedition accounts The New People and My Travel Diary and the historical process of Danish colonization of North Greenland. The aim of reading both works is to demonstrate the ambivalence in representing North Greenland and the Inughuit, and, through this, to prove the existence of common mechanisms and cultural practices connected to mapping of the Other in a situation of asymmetric power relations. Applying a textual approach founded on colonial discourse analysis, the reading proves that literary mappings of geography and identity can never be stable, as they are in the state of constant transformation, perpetually recontextualized and reinvented.
