abstract:In September 1817 officials of the Russian colony of Ross drafted a protocol of a meeting held with the Kashaya Pomos, the Bodega Miwoks, and other Native Americans. The protocol described how the Russians had promised gifts and military protection to their Native American allies in exchange for the right to continue occupying Métini, a Kashaya Pomo–controlled territory about eighty-five miles north of San Francisco. Soon, reports of the meeting had made their way up and down the coast and across the Pacific, as Native Americans, Russian imperial ministers, and diplomats from Russia's imperial rivals debated its significance. This essay describes how the Russian-American Company used the protocol and other agreements with Native Americans to lay claim to coastal territories, and how Russia's imperial rivals disputed such claims. It argues that company officials used documentation of Native American signs of consent, such as speeches and gestures, to assert ownership of Métini, while Spain disputed the validity of agreements with Native Americans. The meaning that Russian officials assigned to Native Americans' consent enabled the Kashaya Pomos, the Bodega Miwoks, and other groups to exert some influence over Russian colonization and trade.
1817年9月,俄罗斯罗斯殖民地的官员起草了一份与卡沙亚波莫人、博德加米渥克人和其他美洲原住民举行会议的议定书。这份协议描述了俄罗斯人如何承诺向他们的美洲原住民盟友提供礼物和军事保护,以换取他们继续占领姆萨姆蒂尼的权利。姆萨姆蒂尼是卡沙亚波莫族控制的领土,位于旧金山以北约85英里。很快,关于这次会议的报道传遍了整个海岸和太平洋,美洲原住民、俄罗斯帝国的大臣和俄罗斯帝国对手的外交官们都在讨论这次会议的意义。这篇文章描述了俄美公司如何利用与美洲原住民签订的协议和其他协议来宣称对沿海地区的主权,以及俄罗斯的帝国对手如何对这种主张提出异议。它认为,公司官员使用印第安人表示同意的文件,如讲话和手势,来主张对msamadini的所有权,而西班牙则对与印第安人达成的协议的有效性提出质疑。俄罗斯官员赋予印第安人同意的意义使卡沙亚波莫人、博德加米渥克人以及其他团体对俄罗斯的殖民和贸易施加了一些影响。

Lewis Henry Morgan's Early Theory of Progress: His Evolving View of the Passions and Social Development 刘易斯·亨利·摩根的早期进步理论:他对激情与社会发展的演变观点

abstract:Lewis Henry Morgan has long been regarded as one of U.S. anthropology's founders. Much of the recent scholarship on Morgan explores his depiction of indigenous culture and his theory of progress. Focusing on his early thought, this article demonstrates how in the 1840s he moved from a moralistic to an increasingly ethnological understanding of advancement, and how his evolving view of Native peoples and the human passions underpinned this change. As a temperance reformer in the early 1840s, Morgan equated progress with economic growth, territorial expansion, and the spread of democracy. Additionally, he feared that the immoral passions of drinkers, radicals, and Native peoples threatened these gains. By 1843 he began attributing to European colonists the destructive passions he had formerly assigned to indigenous peoples, and came to view progress as a destructive force detached from human agency and morality. His 1851 League of the Iroquois links the passions to progress, but he saw these drives primarily as social phenomena, some of which stymie advancement while others enhance it. This study thus links Morgan's early temperance work to the ideas expressed in League of the Iroquois and in his 1871 Ancient Society, illuminating the symbols that Victorian Americans employed to represent progress.
刘易斯·亨利·摩根一直被认为是美国人类学的奠基人之一。最近很多关于摩根的学术研究都在探讨他对土著文化的描述和他的进步理论。本文聚焦于他的早期思想,展示了他在19世纪40年代如何从道德主义转向越来越多的民族学的进步理解,以及他对土著人民和人类激情的不断演变的观点是如何支撑这一变化的。作为19世纪40年代早期的禁酒改革者,摩根将进步等同于经济增长、领土扩张和民主的传播。此外,他担心酒徒、激进分子和土著人的不道德的激情会威胁到这些成果。到1843年,他开始把他以前赋予土著人民的破坏性激情归咎于欧洲殖民者,并开始将进步视为一种脱离人类能动性和道德的破坏性力量。他在1851年的《易洛魁联盟》中把激情与进步联系起来,但他认为这些动力主要是一种社会现象,其中一些阻碍了进步,而另一些则促进了进步。因此,这项研究将摩根早期的戒酒工作与易洛魁联盟及其1871年的《古代社会》中所表达的思想联系起来,阐明了维多利亚时代美国人用来代表进步的象征。

Custom, Text, and Property: Indians, Squatters, and Political Authority in Jacksonian Michigan 习俗、文字和财产:杰克逊时代的密歇根州印第安人、擅自占用者和政治权威

abstract:A controversy over land in the Grand River Valley of Michigan reached the United States Attorney General's office in 1837. The quarrel warrants attention not only because the lands had value but because it engaged several groups with competing understandings of their rights to property. Native Americans confronted settlers, who confronted one another. At one level, the dispute pitted two forms of customary rights—one exercised by Indians and the other by squatters—against the demands of capital and the discipline of the state. But on another level, the contest reveals how in the early national period, irregular settlers could look to law, Native people could speak the language of improvement and look to text, and advocates of federal order could invoke imaginary violence.
1837年,一场关于密歇根州大河谷土地的争议传到了美国司法部长办公室。这场争吵值得关注,不仅因为这些土地有价值,还因为它涉及到对自己的财产权有不同理解的几个群体。美洲原住民与移民对抗,移民又相互对抗。在某种程度上,这场争端使两种形式的习惯权利——一种由印第安人行使,另一种由擅自占用者行使——与资本的要求和国家的纪律对立。但在另一个层面上,这场比赛揭示了在建国初期,非正规移民如何求助于法律,土著人如何说着进步的语言,如何求助于文本,联邦秩序的倡导者如何诉诸想象中的暴力。

Conquest for Commerce: American Policymakers, Bermuda, and the War for Independence, 1775–83 商业征服:美国决策者、百慕大群岛和独立战争,1775 - 1783

abstract:This article explores American policymakers' efforts to annex the British colony of Bermuda during the U.S. War for Independence (1775–83). From Silas Deane to James Madison, Patriot leaders and diplomats idealized Bermuda as a valuable commercial outpost in the Atlantic world, viewing the colony as essential to their new nation's trade. This article considers the failed proposals, quixotic diplomatic demands, and unrealized military plans to acquire Bermuda to illustrate how conquest and commerce were inextricably linked in the minds of early America's policymakers. By exploring American interest in Bermuda, this article also contends that Patriot leaders' demands for other British territories—Canada, Nova Scotia, the Floridas, the Bahamas, and the trans-Appalachian West—were intended not as a blueprint for a continental empire. Rather, American leaders sought British territories such as Bermuda and the trans-Appalachian West to protect, expand, and promote the republic's Atlantic-based commerce.
本文探讨了美国独立战争(1775-83)期间美国政策制定者吞并英国殖民地百慕大的努力。从塞拉斯·迪恩(Silas Deane)到詹姆斯·麦迪逊(James Madison),爱国者的领导人和外交官都将百慕大理想化,认为它是大西洋世界一个有价值的商业前哨,对他们的新国家的贸易至关重要。本文通过对失败的建议、不切实际的外交要求和未实现的占领百慕大的军事计划的分析,来说明在早期美国决策者的思想中,征服和商业是如何密不可分的。通过探讨美国对百慕大的兴趣,本文还认为,爱国者领导人对其他英国领土——加拿大、新斯科舍、佛罗里达、巴哈马和跨阿巴拉契亚西部——的要求,并不是为了建立一个大陆帝国的蓝图。相反,美国领导人寻求英国的领土,如百慕大和跨阿巴拉契亚西部地区,以保护、扩展和促进共和国以大西洋为基础的商业。

abstract:This essay examines the literary texts of Pennsylvania's 1764 Paxton pamphlet war, giving close attention to the linguistic representations through which vying parties attempted to claim superiority in the Anglo-American sociopolitical hierarchy. Competing ethnic and political groups published creative literature (including poetry, dialogues, a farce, and a narrative) disparaging their opponents' British virtue and status by lampooning their literary and grammatical acuity and emphasizing their deviation from "acceptable" spoken English. Through analysis of the pamphlet war's portrayals of Quaker, American Indian, and Scots-Irish Presbyterian language, this essay demonstrates that the interrelated issues of language, virtue, and British identity were central to the concerns of provincial Pennsylvanians in 1764.
本文考察了宾夕法尼亚州1764年帕克斯顿小册子战争的文学文本,密切关注竞争各方试图在英美社会政治等级中声称优势的语言表征。相互竞争的种族和政治团体发表了创造性的文学作品(包括诗歌、对话、闹剧和叙事),通过讽刺对手的文学和语法敏锐度,并强调他们偏离了“可接受的”英语口语,来贬低对手的英国美德和地位。通过对宣传册战争对贵格会、美洲印第安人和苏格兰-爱尔兰长老会语言的描述的分析,本文证明了语言、美德和英国身份等相互关联的问题是1764年宾夕法尼亚各省人关注的核心问题。

"Neither Utterly to Reject Them, Nor Yet to Drawe Them to Come In": Tributary Subordination and Settler Colonialism in Virginia “既不完全拒绝他们,也不吸引他们进来”:弗吉尼亚的朝贡从属和定居者殖民主义

abstract:This essay explores tributary relationships between colonists and Algonquian peoples in seventeenth-century Virginia, placing the process of political subordination into familiar narratives of indigenous dispossession. Virginia's tributary system—a political and legal institution founded in 1646 at the conclusion of the third Anglo-Powhatan war—created a colonial order in which Indian communities became subordinated but largely autonomous polities within a composite imperial state. This idea of tribute, a form of what Hugo Grotius called an "unequal alliance," had roots in Algonquian political traditions and the emerging European literature on international law. Drawing on these lineages, this essay provides a framework for thinking about how the tributary system developed in the decades between 1646 and 1676. The legal and political distance separating tributaries from colonists proved to be an important tool for indigenous communities struggling to maintain communal identity, but provided colonists with a flexible means of effecting dispossession. Though colonists' resentment of the slender protections Governor William Berkeley afforded tributaries erupted into civil war in 1676, Bacon's Rebellion failed to destroy the tributary system. It was reestablished at the Treaty of the Middle Plantation in 1677, which still provides the legal framework for Indian relations in the state of Virginia.
本文探讨了17世纪弗吉尼亚州殖民者和阿尔冈琴人之间的朝贡关系,将政治从属的过程置于熟悉的土著被剥夺的叙述中。弗吉尼亚的朝贡体系——在1646年第三次英国-波瓦坦战争结束时建立的政治和法律制度——创造了一种殖民秩序,在这种秩序中,印第安社区在一个复合帝国国家中成为从属的,但在很大程度上是自治的政体。这种贡品的概念,一种被雨果·格劳秀斯称为“不平等联盟”的形式,植根于阿尔冈琴人的政治传统和新兴的欧洲国际法文献。根据这些血统,本文提供了一个框架来思考在1646年至1676年之间的几十年里朝贡制度是如何发展的。法律和政治上的距离将支流与殖民者分隔开来,这被证明是土著社区努力维持社区身份的重要工具,但也为殖民者提供了一种灵活的剥夺手段。尽管殖民者对总督威廉·伯克利(William Berkeley)给予支流的微薄保护的不满在1676年爆发了内战,但培根的叛乱未能摧毁这个支流体系。1677年《中部种植园条约》(Treaty of the Middle Plantation)重新确立了这一制度,该条约至今仍为弗吉尼亚州的印第安人关系提供法律框架。

Washington Family Fortune: Lineage and Capital in Nineteenth-Century America 华盛顿家族财富:19世纪美国的血统与资本

abstract:No family better displayed the enduring value of lineage in the new republic than the next generation of George Washington's family. His step-grandchildren, the Custises, may not have shared a last name with the first president, but they readily invoked their family connections in writings and speeches as a source of prestige and political legitimacy. The Custises also prominently displayed cultural capital in the form of Washington's furniture and relics in their houses (and even on their bodies) to bolster their social and political status. Decades into the nineteenth century, they continued to give small gifts of objects associated with Washington to reinforce their membership in the illustrious president's family. The Custises' social and cultural capital purchased them high social standing and access to political leaders. They masked their accumulation of capital behind the idea that their connection to George Washing-ton was affectionate rather than aristocratic, smoothing the way for family and lineage to serve as a strong credential in America.
在新共和政体中,没有哪个家族比乔治·华盛顿家族的下一代更能体现世系的持久价值。他的继孙辈卡斯蒂斯(Custises)夫妇可能与第一位总统没有同姓,但他们乐于在著作和演讲中援引自己的家族关系,作为声望和政治合法性的来源。卡斯提斯一家还以华盛顿的家具和文物的形式在他们的房子里(甚至在他们身上)突出地展示了他们的文化资本,以提高他们的社会和政治地位。进入19世纪的几十年里,他们继续赠送与华盛顿有关的小礼物,以巩固他们在这位杰出总统家族中的地位。寇蒂斯家族的社会和文化资本为他们赢得了很高的社会地位和接近政治领袖的机会。他们用与乔治·华盛顿的亲昵关系而非贵族关系来掩盖自己的资本积累,为家庭和血统在美国成为强有力的凭证铺平了道路。

Mounting the Poyto: An Image of Afro-Catholic Submission in the Mystical Visions of Colonial Peru's Úrsula de Jesús 安装Poyto:在殖民秘鲁Úrsula de Jesús的神秘愿景中的非洲天主教屈服的形象

abstract:This essay considers how Africans and their descendants may have expressed their socioreligious identities within the early modern Iberian Catholic world. The author argues that the seventeenth-century Afro-Peruvian mystic Úrsula de Jesús situates herself within both Catholic and Yorùbá orishá religious practice. In a close reading of Úrsula's spiritual diary entries, the author speculates that Úrsula intentionally inflects the meanings of the words poyto to signify a Poitou mule and pollino to refer to a little donkey. In doing so, Úrsula reframes an image of mounting that may be read concurrently as a transformed representation of Catholic submission and as an image of Yorùbá ritual spirit possession. Within the transculturated religious space of colonial Lima, the author suggests that Úrsula rearticulates Catholic rhetoric to reframe her Afro-religious practice and perform the role of a spiritual authority. The essay explores how Úrsula de Jesús would have transposed an African past into her religious expression in her Catholic convent to encounter both mystic visions and orishá spiritual possession in a unified religious experience.
这篇文章考虑了非洲人和他们的后代如何在早期现代伊比利亚天主教世界中表达他们的社会宗教身份。发件人认为,17世纪的非裔秘鲁神秘主义者Úrsula de Jesús将自己置于天主教和Yorùbá orish宗教实践之中。在仔细阅读Úrsula的精神日记条目后,作者推测Úrsula故意歪曲了poyto这两个词的意思,表示普瓦图骡子,而pollino指的是一头小驴。在这样做的过程中,Úrsula重新构建了一个骑马的形象,这个形象可以同时被解读为对天主教服从的一种转变的表现,也可以被解读为Yorùbá仪式精神占有的形象。在殖民地利马的跨文化宗教空间中,作者建议Úrsula重新阐明天主教的修辞,以重新构建她的非洲宗教实践,并发挥精神权威的作用。本文探讨了Úrsula de Jesús如何将非洲的过去转化为她在天主教修道院的宗教表达,以在统一的宗教体验中遇到神秘的愿景和奥利什精神占有。

In a close reading of Úrsula's spiritual diary entries, the author speculates that Úrsula intentionally inflects the meanings of the words poyto to signify a Poitou mule and pollino to refer to a little donkey. In doing so, Úrsula reframes an image of mounting that may be read concurrently as a transformed representation of Catholic submission and as an image of Yorùbá ritual spirit possession. Within the transculturated religious space of colonial Lima, the author suggests that Úrsula rearticulates Catholic rhetoric to reframe her Afro-religious practice and perform the role of a spiritual authority. The essay explores how Úrsula de Jesús would have transposed an African past into her religious expression in her Catholic convent to encounter both mystic visions and orishá spiritual possession in a unified religious experience.","PeriodicalId":43255,"journal":{"name":"Early American Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80943573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

abstract:Touro Synagogue stands as a statement of deeply held beliefs in a modern interpretation of Jewish principles and in the importance of classical architecture. The design's incorporation of both neo-Solomonic themes and Palladian principles placed it on the cutting edge of synagogue design in the Atlantic world. While seemingly separate, these two systems converge symbolically in the synagogue's women's balcony. Following contemporary neo-Solomonic principles, the balcony was a key component in the creation of numerological relationships among the parts of the building. At the same time, it also established architectural balance within the progression of Palladian elements. As a pivotal space in both theories, the women's balcony inserted women into the process of Judaic worship in a way that reflected the values of open-mindedness and inclusion inherent in Newport's Jewish community. It also placed them at the heart of two larger dialogues, one about the role of women within Judaic practice and one involving the relationship between the Newport congregation and the Atlantic world.
摘要:图罗犹太教堂代表了对犹太原则的现代诠释和古典建筑的重要性的坚定信念。该设计结合了新所罗门主题和帕拉第亚原则,使其成为大西洋世界犹太教堂设计的前沿。虽然看起来是分开的,但这两个系统在犹太教堂的女性阳台上象征性地融合在一起。遵循当代新所罗门原则,阳台是建筑各部分之间建立命理关系的关键组成部分。同时,它也在帕拉第亚元素的进程中建立了建筑平衡。作为两种理论的关键空间,女性阳台将女性插入犹太崇拜的过程中,以一种反映新港犹太社区固有的开放思想和包容价值观的方式。这也将她们置于两个更大对话的核心,一个是关于女性在犹太教实践中的角色,另一个涉及纽波特会众与大西洋世界之间的关系。
