Abstract

Abstract Through a case study of James Cook's third voyage and his contact with the Nuu-chah-nulth people of Vancouver Island in 1778, this article sheds new light on the epistemological dispossession of indigenous peoples that accompanied European expansion in the eighteenth century. The documentation of the Nuu-chah-nulth language in the official account of the expedition (1784) contributed to the establishment of a monopoly on history, from which indigenous forms of knowledge were excluded. The study of languages contributed to the representation of indigenous peoples as having no history and as being situated in the past of a presumed European ‘modernity’.

在文献记录与剥夺之间:詹姆斯·库克第三次航海日志中努查努斯人的语言

本文通过对詹姆斯·库克的第三次航行及其在1778年与温哥华岛nuu - chha -nulth人的接触的个案研究，揭示了18世纪欧洲扩张对土著人民的认识论剥夺。在1784年的官方探险记录中，Nuu-chah-nulth语言的记录有助于建立对历史的垄断，本土形式的知识被排除在外。对语言的研究有助于将土著人民描绘成没有历史的人，并认为他们处于一个假定的欧洲“现代性”的过去。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
