Abstract

Der vorliegende Band bietet vielfältige Herangehensweisen zu den Sprachen der indigenen Völker Amerikas - zu den großen Sprachen (Guaraní, Zapotekisch, Otomí, klassisches Aztekisch) ebenso wie zu den kleinen (Mosetén, Cabécar). Die Einflüsse der amerindischen Sprachen auf die Ideengeschichte der Sprachwissenschaft werden genauso berücksichtigt wie die vielfältigen Kontaktbeziehungen (vornehmlich zum Spanischen) und Gesichtspunkte der kulturellen Diversität. Sprachen mit relativ langer Schriftlichkeitstradition stehen neben Sprachen, mit deren Verschriftung erst kürzlich begonnen wurde. Das Analysespektrum reicht von der Synopse grammatischer Gesamtsysteme bis zur Untersuchung von Einzelaspekten aus dem Leben der Sprachen. So wird der thematische Reichtum des Forschungsgebietes umfassend abgebildet. Der Band enthält sowohl Beiträge, die sich an ein linguistisch-philologisch vorgebildetes Publikum richten, als auch solche, die interessierte Laien ansprechen. Er versammelt die Vorträge des Gründungskolloquiums Europäisches Netzwerk für Amerindische Linguistik (ENAL), die im Oktober 2009 im Rahmen des Festivals der Sprachen in Bremen gehalten wurden.

Abstract

Recent developments in the cultural history of written culture have omitted the specificity of practices relative to writing that were anchored in colonial contexts. The circulation of manuscripts and books between different continents played a key role in the process of the first globalization from the 16th century onwards. While the European colonial organization mobilised several forms of writing and tried to control the circulation and reception of this material, the very function and meaning of written culture was recreated by the introduction and appropriation of written culture into societies without alphabetical forms of writing. This book explores the extent to which the control over the materiality of writing has shaped the numerous and complex processes of cultural exchange during the early modern period.

Abstract

In this groundbreaking book Andrew Sluyter demonstrates for the first time that Africans played significant creative roles in establishing open-range cattle ranching in the Americas. In so doing, he provides a new way of looking at and studying the history of land, labor, property, and commerce in the Atlantic world.Sluyter shows that Africans' ideas and creativity helped to establish a production system so fundamental to the environmental and social relations of the American colonies that the consequences persist to the present. He examines various methods of cattle production, compares these methods to those used in Europe and the Americas, and traces the networks of actors that linked that Atlantic world. The use of archival documents, material culture items, and ecological relationships between landscape elements make this book a methodologically and substantively original contribution to Atlantic, African-American, and agricultural history.
