Alexander von Humboldt, America, classicism, discourse retoricAbstract
The «antiquization» of America, using classicist motifs as imperial models of appropriation, is a central rhetorical strategy in Alexander von Humboldt's travelogue. Over the course of the colonial experience this discourse is infused with tension. The concept of «antiquity» is de-authorized, deconstructed. Readers witness the dissolution of European classicism as apolitico-aesthetic ‘dispositif’ due to contact with cultural difference.
