Buchbesprechungen Sebastian DOBSON / Sven SAALER (Hrsg.): Unter den Augen des Preußen-Adlers. Lithographien, Zeichnungen und Photographien der Teilnehmer der Eulenburg- Expedition in Japan, 1860–61. München: iudicium 2011. 2., durchgesehene Auflage 2012. 391 S., Abb. ISBN 978-3-86205-135-9. € 49,00. Als sich die preußische Regierung im Jahr 1860 entschloss, eine Expedition auszurüs- ten, um mit China, Japan und Siam Handels- und Freundschaftsverträge abzuschließen, bedeutete dieses Unternehmen einen gewaltigen Kraftakt eines durch seine Geschichte eigentlich nicht auf Übersee ausgerichteten Landes. Neben den politischen, wirtschaft- lichen und kommerziellen Motiven und dem Zugewinn an internationalem Renommee für Preußen in der Auseinandersetzung mit Österreich um die Lösung der deutschen Frage – Preußen vermochte erstmals als Sprachrohr des Deutschen Zollvereins aufzu- treten – waren es vor allem auch wissenschaftliche Ziele, die Preußen mit der Ostasien- Expedition unter Führung von Graf Eulenburg verknüpfte. In Anlehnung an den großen Naturforscher Alexander von Humboldt, der 1859 verstarb und die Durchführung der Expedition nicht mehr erleben durfte, sollten intensive naturwissenschaftliche Studien von Land und Leuten betrieben werden, um jene ferne Weltregion in ihrer Komplexität für die Allgemeinheit „verständlich“ zu machen. Zu diesem Zweck verfügte die Expedition über ausgewiesene Wissenschaftler und Fachleute, die vor Ort in ihrem jeweiligen Spezialgebiet Forschung betreiben sollten. Verglichen mit anderen zeitgenössischen Expeditionen zählte die preußische Ostasien- Expedition zu einer der am besten ausgestatteten wissenschaftlichen Unternehmungen. Unter den Experten befanden sich u. a. ein landwirtschaftlicher wie ein kaufmännischer Sachverständiger, ein Zoologe, ein Botaniker, ein Geologe und ein Geograph, was den hohen Stellenwert der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts maßgeblich die akademische Wissen- schaft dominierenden naturkundlichen Forschung widerspiegelte. -
An Unpublished Letter of M.A. Bakunin to R.Solger
Robert M. Cutler AN UNPUBLISHED LETTER OF M.A. BAKUNIN TO R. SOLGER* After Mikhail Aleksandrovich Bakunin escaped from Siberian exile in 1861, he circumnavigated the globe en route to London, where he joined his friends A.I. Herzen and N.P. Ogarev. En route Bakunin travelled by boat from Yokohama to San Francisco, traversed the isthmus of Panama, and sojourned in New York and Boston before reembarking for England. Four decades ago Hecht wrote that there "is little record of Bakunin's stay in America",1 but Avrich has since established the general contours and many details of that record.2 An unpublished letter of Bakunin to Reinhold Solger, which lies among Solger's papers in the Library of Congress, sheds further light on Bakunin's activities in the United States in late 1861.3 Bakunin met Solger in Zurich in * I wish to thank Professor Margaret Dorsch for assisting in the decipherment of the manuscript and for suggesting alternative renderings in the translation. 1 David Hecht, Russian Radicals Look to America, 1825-1894 (Cambridge, Mass., 1947), p. 56. 2 Paul Avrich, "Bakunin and the United States", International Review of Social History, XXIV (1979), pp. 320-40, adds new material to Max Nettlau's account of Bakunin's passage through the United States, in The Life of Michael Bakounine. Michael Bakunin: Eine Biogra- p/u'e,3volsin2(London, 1896-99), l,pp. 139-40. Avrich also expands upon Hecht's treatment (which is from the standpoint of intellectual history) of the sojourn's influence upon the subsequent development of Bakunin's political thought, and he provides a detailed discussion of the influence of Bakunin's writings upon the development of collectivist socialist move ments in the United States towards the end of the nineteenth century. -

Cartas a Un Buscador De Sí Mismo
Todos hemos sentido alguna vez la llegada de un tiempo en el que todo tiembla y en el que necesitamos poner en cuestión cada aspecto de nuestra vida. Las convicciones políticas supuestamente asentadas se destruyen para crear otras nuevas, las normas sociales asumidas se revisan y se lucha por otras distintas, las metas existenciales se transforman de modo radical. Precisamente durante este proceso vital Harrison G. O. Blake escribe por primera vez a H. D. Thoreau para solicitar su consejo y su orientación hacia una vida más verdadera. Se inicia así una correspondencia intensa y reveladora, tan íntima como filosófica, que para muchos constituye el más claro equivalente moderno de las Cartas a Lucilio de Séneca. De carta en carta y durante trece años Thoreau le habla a Blake de cómo ganarse la vida, del coraje, del sexo, del trabajo, del amor, de la naturaleza, de la libertad, de la sociedad, de la política, de la moral, de la alimentación, de la disidencia, de la religión, de la soledad y de un tiempo pleno, donde la construcción de la subjetividad se labra a golpes de una desorientación gozosa, libre y salvaje. Décadas después de la muerte de Thoreau, un Blake anciano confesaba seguir leyendo y releyendo estas cartas, como si buscara aún en ellas una verdad esencial y recóndita: «Y, sin embargo, sé que estas cartas siguen viajando en el correo, que en cierto sentido aún no me han llegado, y probablemente no lo harán mientras viva. De hecho, puede decirse que estas cartas están desde siempre dirigidas a quien mejor pueda leerlas». -
JAPAN COLLECTIONS Prepared by Tokiko Bazzell
JAPAN COLLECTIONS prepared by Tokiko Bazzell Heine, Wilhelm (Peter Bernhard Wilhelm Heine), 1827-1885 Graphic scenes in the Japan expedition. New York, G. P. Putnam & company, 1856. 2 p.l., 10 pl. 52 cm. Born on January 30, 1827 in Dresden, Germany, Heine studied art in Germany and France and worked as a scene designer for the court theater. During an upheaval in his native country, he immigrated to the United States in 1849. He met the archaeologist, Ephraim George Squier, and spurred Heine's artistic career and intellectual curiosity in different cultures. In September 1852 at the age of 25, Heine joined Commodore Perry's expedition to Japan. He diligently recorded in paintings, sketches and writings, important meetings, events, people, and wildlife. Graphic Scenes in the Japan Expedition offers 10 sketches, which were later copied by other artists. Frederic Trautmann, translator of Heine's memoir With Perry to Japan, stated "Heine's images of the Perry expedition and his memoir of it remain his greatest service to America and his supreme achievement." It is not an overstatement that Heine's drawings spurred a craze for Japanese things in the U.S. after their return. Eventually, Heine made four trips to Japan. He returned to Germany after his last trip and published Japan: Beiträge zur Kenntnis des Landes und seiner Bewohner in 1880 in Dresden, where he died five years later. Kaempfer, Engelbert, 1651-1716. The history of Japan : giving an account of the ancient and present state and government of that empire, of its temples, palaces, castles and other buildings, of its metals, minerals, trees, plants, animals, birds and fishes, of the chronology and succession of the emperors, ecclesiastical and secular, of the original descent, religions, customs, and manufactures of the natives, and of their trade and commerce with the Dutch and Chinese : together with a description of the kingdom of Siam. -

DEDICATION For Barbara Elizabeth Swyryn, Anne Cale Jones, Miss Kitty, Charli, Bingley, and Wilson Andrew Jones ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I first began to seriously consider studying Japanese history as an undergraduate at St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas. The late professor Cecil Lawson planted the initial spark within me through his clear enthusiasm for Japanese culture and love for the Japanese people, which he displayed in his freshman studies class “Sword, Silk, and Silicon.” This interest was nurtured by professor Holly Holliday, my Japanese language instructor at St. Edward’s, who opened my mind to one of the world’s most complex and beautiful languages and, in turn, to the entire country of Japan. -

Damit ist er auf große Zustimmung gestoßen („Der Spiegel“ Nr. 17/23.4. 2016, S. 115 http://www.moin-moin.us/#!German-Secretary-of-State- Steinmeier-Supports-DER-SPIEGELs-48ers-Monument- Proposal/cjds/572f83ef0cf222003e9e0ffc ), worüber auch „The Guardian“ in der Ausgabe vom 30.

Dabei gab es aber schon vor 1933 eine parlamentarische Erfahrungsbasis, die von den Akteuren 1848 hart erkämpft wurde. Vor allem das Wirken deutscher Revolutionäre wie Carl Schurz, Friedrich Hecker, Gustav Struve und Franz Sigel in Amerika ist hier weitestgehend unbekannt. Deshalb ist das Denkmal für die sogenannten Forty- Eighters eine große Chance an die wechselseitige Einflussnahme beim Aufbau stabiler Demokratien auf beiden Seiten des Ozeans zu erinnern.“ Der damalige Chef des Bundespräsidialamtes, David Gill, schrieb mir: „Es liegt dem Bundespräsidenten sehr am Herzen, das Bewusstsein für die gemeinsame Freiheits- und Demokratietradition der USA und Deutschlands aufrechtzuerhalten.“ Weiter bekundeten Sympathie für das Projekt u.a. -
