    Behrens’ narrative of the discovery of Easter Island:Two editions, two personalities, two realities

    No full text
    This article is dedicated to the figure of Carl Friedich Behrens, a member of the Dutch expedition led by Jacob Roggeveen, who re-discovered Easter Island in 1722. Behrens, a German soldier serving on one of the ships, left a narrative describing the whole journey. The first edition was published in 1737 followed, among others, by a re-published edition made by German anthropologist Hans Plischke that was published in 1923. The important thing is that this version differs from the original to a great extent and the editor did not account for the changes he had introduced into the text: besides grammar and orthography modernization, he omitted certain portions, misinterpreted other ones and added some comments without marking them as his own. As a result, the narrative gives an impression of having been written by another author; Behrens appears as a person with a different character and attitude, weaker, less convincing and even less trustworthy than he really was. This article presents numerous examples of the distortions as a warning against making a scientific or an anthropological use of unreliable editions of source texts, as this may wield a negative influence upon our view and interpretation of the culture we are analyzing

    This article examines the practices and meanings of weeping in Mesoamerican cultures, with a focus on the Nahuas. Drawing from Nahuatl sources and intercultural comparisons, Daniel Graña Behrens shows how crying carried symbolic, social, and ritual dimensions. Far from being a mere expression of sorrow, it served as a means of sacred communication and as a performative act in rites of passage, death, and sacrifice. The author offers an anthropological and linguistic interpretation that links weeping to deeper structures in Mesoamerican thoughtEste artículo analiza las prácticas y significados del llanto en las culturas mesoamericanas, con especial atención a los nahuas. A través de fuentes en náhuatl y comparaciones interculturales, Daniel Graña Behrens muestra cómo el acto de llorar tenía dimensiones simbólicas, sociales y rituales. El llanto no se limitaba a la expresión de dolor, sino que era una forma de comunicación con lo sagrado, un gesto performativo en rituales de paso, muerte y sacrificio. El autor propone una interpretación antropológica y lingüística que vincula el llanto con estructuras profundas del pensamiento mesoamericanoUniversidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

    Traumräume und Raumträume. Die traumhafte Wirklichkeit in den Romanen Der Mond und das Mädchen von Martin Mosebach (2007) und Diskrete Momente von Sigrid Behrens (2007)

    Space in dreams and dreams about space. Oneiric reality in Martin Mosebach’s novels Der Mond und das Mädchen (2007) and Sigrid Behrens’ Diskrete Momente (2007). Dreams and space are the two phenomena that play a crucial part in the construction of Martin Mosebach’s (2007) and Sigrid Behrens’ (2007) novels. The comparative analysis of these literary texts will present the literary creation of the oneiric worlds and their most important features in both novels. This article will emphasise two main problematic areas: the analysis of dreams from the perspective of anthropologic discourse and the analysis of dreams as an individualistic literary space created by the author. In the conducted analysis the relationship between the particular spaces of dreams and the dreaming protagonists will also be accentuated
