Sommario/riassunto

Saints and Citizens is a bold new excavation of the history of Indigenous people in California in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, showing how the missions became sites of their authority, memory, and identity. Shining a forensic eye on colonial encounters in Chumash, Luiseño, and Yokuts territories, Lisbeth Haas depicts how native painters incorporated their cultural iconography in mission painting and how leaders harnessed new knowledge for control in other ways. Through her portrayal of highly varied societies, she explores the politics of Indigenous citizenship in the independent Mexican nation through events such as the Chumash War of 1824, native emancipation after 1826, and the political pursuit of Indigenous rights and land through 1848.

Sommario/riassunto

Die Diskussionen zu einer Ethik der Literatur und einer spezifisch ästhetischen Form der Gerechtigkeit machen deutlich: Die Frage nach der ästhetischen und ethischen Wertung und Bewertung von Literatur ist in jüngster Zeit wieder ins Zentrum geistes- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Interesses gerückt. Der von Sebastian Donat (Innsbruck), Roger Lüdeke (Düsseldorf), Stephan Packard (Freiburg) und Virginia Richter (Bern) herausgegebene Band versammelt Beiträge zur Thematik von Verbrechen/Strafe, Buße/Gnade oder Tugend/Belohnung. Literarische Wert-Zuschreibungen betreffen aber auch formale Aspekte: Wird die ästhetische Form den in einem Werk verhandelten Inhalten gerecht? Lässt die Neu-Adaption eines Stoffs dem Original Gerechtigkeit widerfahren? Somit umfasst das Thema Fragen der Gerechtigkeit auch mit Blick auf Prozesse literarischer Kommunikation und Überlieferung wie Imitatio, Emulatio und Übersetzung.
