Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This seminal study explores the national, imperial and indigenous interests at stake in a major survey expedition undertaken by the German Schlagintweit brothers, while in the employ of the East India Company, through South and Central Asia in the…1850s. It argues that German scientists, lacking in this period a formal empire of their own, seized the opportunity presented by other imperial systems to observe, record, collect and loot manuscripts, maps, and museological artefacts that shaped European understandings of the East. Drawing on archival research in three continents, von Brescius vividly explores the dynamics and conflicts of transcultural exploration beyond colonial frontiers in Asia. Analysing the contested careers of these imperial outsiders, he reveals significant changes in the culture of gentlemanly science, the violent negotiation of scientific authority in a transnational arena, and the transition from Humboldtian enquiry to a new disciplinary order. This book offers a new understanding of German science and its role in shaping foreign empires, and provides a revisionist account of the questions of authority and of authenticity in reportage from distant sites.

Neu -Die Geografen Hermann und Robert Schlagintweit sowie der Geologe Adolph Schlagintweit zählen zu den ersten deutschen Wissenschaftlern, die den Himalaja und das Karakorum-Gebirge erforschten.

Humboldt angeregt und durch die britische Ostindien-Kompanie sowie den preußischen König Friedrich Wilhelm IV. finanziert worden. Diese Konstellation erwies sich als konfliktreich.

Die Entdeckungsreisenden sahen sich der universalwissenschaftlichen Naturforschung Humboldts verpflichtet - aber auch den politischen und wirtschaftlichen Interessen ihrer britischen Auftraggeber. Dies und der unterschiedliche Wissensstand über Asien in Großbritannien und dem restlichen Europa sorgten für kontroverse Bewertungen der Expedition, die zwischen einer Glorifizierung der Brüder als herausragender Entdecker und ihrer kompletten Ablehnung schwankten. Die Autoren dieses reichbebilderten Katalogs stellen die Expedition und ihre Ergebnisse erneut auf den Prüfstand, geben Aufschluss über die Organisation einer solch großen Unternehmung und vermitteln einen Einblick in die umfangreichen Sammlungen, welche für heutige Forschungsfragen weiterhin von großer Relevanz sind.
