Sommario/riassunto

Wer Emme sagt, muss präzise sein. Normalerweise ist damit die Grosse Emme gemeint, die durchs Emmental fliesst und bei Solothurn in die Aare mündet. Doch da gibt es auch die Kleine Emme. Sie hat ihren Ursprung am Nordhang des Brienzer Rothorns, schlängelt sich durchs Entlebuch und mündet bei Emmenbrücke in die Reuss. Beide Flüsse haben ihren eigenen Charme und das Wandern am Wasser seinen ganz besonderen Reiz.

Sommario/riassunto

The establishment of a settlement at the Cape of Good Hope in the seventeenth century and an expansion of the sphere of colonial influence in the eighteenth century made South Africa the only part of sub-Saharan Africa where Europeans could travel with relative ease deep into the interior. As a result individuals with scientific interests in Africa came to the Cape. This book examines writings and drawings of scientifically educated travellers, particularly in the field of ethnography, against the background of commercial and administrative discourses on the Cape. It is argued that the scientific travellers benefited more from their relationship with the colonial order than the other way around.
