This paper is a comparative discussion of western Europeans and how they came to terms with the otherness of Natives in the New World and how that called into question their own authority as authors and indeed their worldview. This representation of the Natives is a recurrent theme. Often this representation and "translation" involved an overcoming of or coming to terms with other "barbarous" cultures as well as an inheritance from a previous empire or a rival. Questions of being there, of the rhetorical contract between writer and reader, and the typology of the Old and New World are among my concerns over the truth and lies that the authors and readers of travel accounts must negotiate. This might be an ethnology of reading or a use of ethnology to see the otherness within or the dramatic tension between self and other that writers and readers then and now experiencePrimerjave med kulturami odpirajo nove perspektive. Pričujoči članek je primerjalna razprava o Zahodnih Evropejcih, o tem, kako so se sporazumeli z drugostjo staroselcev Novega sveta in kako so kot avtorji problematizirali svojo lastno avtoriteto ter dejansko svoj pogled na svet. Reprezentacija staroselcev je tema, ki se nenehno obnavlja. Ta reprezentacija in "prevod" sta pogosto vključevala tako premoč nad drugimi, "barbarskimi" kulturami - ali sporazumetje z njimi - kakor tudi dediščino tamkajšnje predhodne vladavine ali tekmeca. Problemi, kot so vprašanje pristnosti pričevanj, retorična pogodba med piscem in bralcem ter tipologija Starega in Novega sveta, me bodo zanimali z vidika resnice in laži, o čemer se morajo pogoditi avtorji in bralci popotnih poročil. To imamo lahko za etnologijo branja ali za uporabo etnologije, zato da bi uvideli drugost znotraj njih ali da bi uvideli med jazom in drugim dramatično tenzijo, kakršno so izkušali pisci in bralci nekoč in jo izkušajo danesTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko društvo za primerjalno književnost
