Abstract

Abstract Alexander von Humboldt’s voyage to South America (1799-1804) was an event of the century. It was accompanied by the discovery of numerous animal and plant species, but also by fascinating descriptions of landscapes, monuments and the indigenous population and their everyday life. This article presents a little-known text by Humboldt that describes a borderline experience that terrified the naturalist, namely the confrontation with the mosquitoes living on the Orinoco. With this example, Humboldt not only shows that in the case of terrible experiences, the objects of research can no longer be described neutrally, but also illustrates that empirical nature research must intertwine with economic, ecological, geopolitical, but above all intercultural and anti-colonial aspects if it wants to take complex phenomena into account.

摘要 亚历山大-冯-洪堡的南美航行(1799-1804 年)是本世纪的一件大事。洪堡不仅发现了大量动植物物种,还对地貌、古迹、土著居民及其日常生活进行了精彩的描述。本文介绍了洪堡特的一篇鲜为人知的文章,其中描述了令这位自然学家惊恐万分的边境经历,即与生活在奥里诺科河上的蚊子的对抗。通过这个例子,洪堡不仅说明了在可怕经历的情况下,不能再中立地描述研究对象,而且还说明了自然实证研究如果要考虑复杂的现象,就必须与经济、生态、地缘政治,但最重要的是跨文化和反殖民主义方面交织在一起。
