This thesis focuses on the diary written by Prince Maximilian von Wied Neuwied, based on his journey in Brazil. Throughout the years of 1815 to 1817, the prince traveled across the current Brazilian states of Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais and Bahia. His two-year journey resulted in a diary, published in Germany in 1820 and in several other countries and languages during the following years. Even though it could have been yet another journal amidst the hundreds produced in the nineteenth century concerning the exotic New World, its thorough description of the countrys natural history and its picturesque approach to its population which at times are either brought about to confirm Maximilians stereotypes and previous readings on Brazil, and at other times, to justify the originality of his writings catches the readers eyes for the subtle presence of Guack, an Indian from the so-called Botocudo tribe who plays a crucial role in the journey both as Maximilians accompanier, translator, and above all, indispensable interlocutor in the acquaintance with what Maximilian refers to as this unknown, unexplored territory. Yet it is by means of Guacks role in the narrative that one is inevitably driven to see that the territory Maximilian visits is anything but unknown or unexplored, and its population is anything but virgin and untouched. The analysis focuses on the creation of the Botocudo label, which can be traced as early as the sixteenth century, the strategies used by the natives in their constant contact with the Portuguese, the African slaves and even amongst themselves, and how aloof Maximilian seems to be regarding the reality surrounding him while producing his diary, paintings and images for his European counterparts. | This thesis focuses on the diary written by Prince Maximilian von Wied Neuwied, based on his journey in Brazil.

Inhaltsverzeichnis |
Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied (1782-1867)
ist nicht so bekannt wie sein Zeitgenosse Alexander von Humboldt, spielte aber eine wesentliche Rolle in der wissenschaftlichen Erschliessung des amerikanischen Kontinents. In den Jahren 1815 bis 1817 bereiste der Forscher die Ostküste der damaligen portugiesischen Kolonie Brasilien. Sein Reisebericht ist laut Siegfried Schmidts biographischen Notizen “…insgesamt enzyklopädisch angelegt; das was dem Prinzen an Eindrücken bemerkenswert erschien, wird fachübergreifend, unsystematisch und chronologisch in erzählender Weise dem Leser dargeboten.”
Das Werk ist mit sehr schönen Stichen illustriert, die nach Originalzeichnungen des Autors angefertigt wurden. Maximilian zu Wied bemerkt dazu im Anhang des ersten Bandes:
“Den Stich der Platten haben verschiedene Kupferstecher besorgt; aller angewandten Mühe ungeachtet haben sich aber dennoch einige Unrichtigkeiten eingeschlichen. Unter diesen nenne ich auf der Vignette des VIII. Abschnitts die Zeichnung der grossen Schildkröte, welche in den naturhistorischen Cabinetten nicht selten gefunden wird [...]“
Selbst wenn einzelne Stiche mit Hilfe einer “Camera Lucida” gestochen wurden, ergab sich offenbar eine gewisse Abweichung von der erlebten “Realität”. Als Konsequenz dieser zeichnerischen Unzulänglichkeit nahm Wied auf seine zweite Entdeckungsreise nach Nordamerika (1832-1834) den jungen Schweizer Landschaftsmaler Carl Bodmer mit auf die Reise. Daraus entstand dann die reich illustrierte Reise in das innere Nord-America in den Jahren 1832 bis 1834 (Koblenz, 1839-41).

Prince Maximilian von Wied-Neuwied and his trip to Brazil (1815-1817)
This thesis focuses on the diary written by Prince Maximilian von Wied Neuwied, based on his journey in Brazil. Throughout the years of 1815 to 1817, the prince traveled across the current Brazilian states of Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais and Bahia. His two-year journey resulted in a diary, published in Germany in 1820 and in several other countries and languages during the following years. Even though it could have been yet another journal amidst the hundreds produced in the nineteenth century concerning the exotic New World, its thorough description of the countrys natural history and its picturesque approach to its population which at times are either brought about to confirm Maximilians stereotypes and previous readings on Brazil, and at other times, to justify the originality of his writings catches the readers eyes for the subtle presence of Guack, an Indian from the so-called Botocudo tribe who plays a crucial role in the journey both as Maximilians accompanier, translator, and above all, indispensable interlocutor in the acquaintance with what Maximilian refers to as this unknown, unexplored territory. Yet it is by means of Guacks role in the narrative that one is inevitably driven to see that the territory Maximilian visits is anything but unknown or unexplored, and its population is anything but virgin and untouched. The analysis focuses on the creation of the Botocudo label, which can be traced as early as the sixteenth century, the strategies used by the natives in their constant contact with the Portuguese, the African slaves and even amongst themselves, and how aloof Maximilian seems to be regarding the reality surrounding him while producing his diary, paintings and images for his European counterparts.

Reise in das innere Nord-America in den Jahren 1832 bis 1834
(englische Fassung: Maximilian Prince of Wied’s Travels in the Interior of North America, during the years 1832 – 1834, französische Fassung: Voyage dans l’interieur de L’Amérique du Nord exécuté pendant les années 1832, 1833 et 1834) ist ein mehrbändiges Werk des deutschen Ethnologen und Naturforschers Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied, das nacheinander in den drei Sprachen Deutsch, Englisch und Französisch veröffentlicht wurde. Es ist ausgestaltet mit Illustrationen des Schweizer Malers Karl Bodmer.
Das Werk beschreibt die Ergebnisse der völkerkundlichen Reise von Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied, Karl Bodmer und David Dreidoppel in den Jahren 1832 bis 1834 nach Nordamerika. Das Ziel dieser Forschungsreise war die Flora und Fauna Nordamerikas und die Begegnung mit jenen Indianerstämmen, die seinerzeit westlich des Missouri lebten und zu den Forts am Ufer des Missouri kamen, um Pelzhandel mit der American Fur Company zu betreiben.
Die Beschreibung der Reise findet sich mit einigen während der Reise entstandenen Aquarellen von Karl Bodmer im Hauptartikel Karl Bodmer: Die Reise nach Nordamerika. Das Werk Reise in das innere Nord-Amerika 1832 bis 1834 wurde zu einer wichtigen Dokumentation der indianischen Bevölkerung der USA.
