Abstract

Proclaiming ‘every generation has its Winnetou’, German network RTL ushered in the return of Winnetou to German television in 2016 with a big-budget film trilogy, Winnetou – Der Mythos Lebt. This article analyses the Winnetou film trilogy in dialogue with Karl May's original 1893 novels and the 1960s West German westerns using the concepts of settler time and white innocence. It brings a critical focus on race that is lacking in much existing scholarship on May, showing how whiteness functions in the Winnetou franchise as a structuring principle. In the new Winnetou, the blood brotherhood between the white German Old Shatterhand and the Mescalero Apache Winnetou becomes a way of forging connections not only across cultures but across temporal lines, allowing for the imposition of settler time onto Indigenous persons and the erasure of Indigenous sovereignty and survival in order to centre a narrative of German innocence and reinscribe fantasies of white conquest in the American West.

温妮图,白色的纯真,和拓荒者的时光
德国RTL电视台宣称“每一代人都有自己的温内图”,并于2016年以一部大制作的电影三部曲《温内图-神话》(Winnetou - Der Mythos Lebt)引领温内图回归德国电视。本文运用移民时代和白人纯真的概念,与卡尔·梅1893年的小说原作和20世纪60年代的西德西片对话,分析了温内图电影三部曲。它带来了对种族问题的批判性关注,这在五月的许多现有学术研究中是缺乏的,它展示了白人是如何在温内图的特权中作为一种结构原则发挥作用的。在新的Winnetou中,德国白人Old Shatterhand和Mescalero Apache Winnetou之间的血缘兄弟关系成为了一种建立联系的方式,不仅跨越了文化,也跨越了时间线,允许将移民时间强加给土著居民,消除土著主权和生存,以德国纯真的叙述为中心,重新描绘白人征服美国西部的幻想。

期刊介绍: - German Life and Letters was founded in 1936 by the distinguished British Germanist L.A. Willoughby and the publisher Basil Blackwell. In its first number the journal described its aim as "engagement with German culture in its widest aspects: its history, literature, religion, music, art; with German life in general". German LIfe and Letters has continued over the decades to observe its founding principles of providing an international and interdisciplinary forum for scholarly analysis of German culture past and present. The journal appears four times a year, and a typical number contains around eight articles of between six and eight thousand words each.
