Johannes Justus Rein. Briefe eines deutschen Geographen aus Japan 1873–1875

Reins Japanaufenthalt fällt in eine Phase intensiv betriebener Modernisierung Japans in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts nach über zweihundertjähriger weitreichender Isolation – wohl eins der faszinierendsten Kapitel der Weltgeschichte. Reins Auftrag der Erkundung Japans läßt sich auch begreifen als Teil der im einzelnen zwar asymmetrischen und von Machtgefälle gezeichneten, aber doch gegenseitigen Aneignungsprozesse im Gefolge der sogenannten „Öffnung“ Japans. In vielen Disziplinen der Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften werden Fragen nach der Assimilation fremden Wissens und der transkulturellen Rezeption mittlerweile neu und ganz anders gestellt. Man beginnt die Komplexität interkulturellen Lernens zu beleuchten, die Pluralität und Kontingenz von Perspektiven im Rahmen von kreativen Aneignungs- und Transformationsprozessen. Im weitesten Sinne reihen sich auch die in diesen Briefen eines deutschen Geographen und Vorläufers der akademischen Japanforschung thematisierten Erfahrungen in den Kontext der Fragen nach Kulturmittlern, kulturellen Übersetzern und nach den „Wegen des Wissens“ ein. (Aus dem Vorwort von Irmela Hijiya-Kirschnereit)

Expeditions in the Long Nineteenth Century

This book examines the processes of scientific, cultural, political, technical, colonial and violent appropriation during the 19th century. The 19th century was the century of world travel. The earth was explored, surveyed, described, illustrated, and categorized. Travelogues became world bestsellers. Modern technology accompanied the travelers and adventurers: clocks, a postal and telegraph system, surveying equipment, and cameras. The world grew together faster and faster. Previously unknown places became better known: the highest peaks, the coldest spots, the hottest deserts, and the most remote cities. Knowledge about the white spots of the earth was systematically collected. Those who m...

A Career of Japan is the first study of one of the major photographers and personalities of nineteenth-century Japan. Baron Raimund von Stillfried was the most important foreign-born photographer of the Meiji era and one of the first globally active photographers of his generation. He played a key role in the international image of Japan and the adoption of photography within Japanese society itself. Yet, the lack of a thorough study of his activities, travels, and work has been a fundamental gap in both Japanese- and Western-language scholarship. Based on extensive new primary sources and unpublished documents from archives around the world, this book examines von Stillfried’s significanc...
