dc.description.abstractAlexander von Humboldt’s and James Bryce’s travels in Latin America were separated by a century; nevertheless, both of them situated the region within a continental and worldwide framework. The two men emphasized the importance of geography as a factor that influenced history whenever they explained the development of peoples, both in their more “primitive” phases as well as in amore“advanced” state of civilization. Although Bryce’s South America (1912) has often been disregarded by Bryce scholars, what is certain is that the work reveals important keys regarding the ways in which he understood geography as a true foundation of the historical development of nations, and humanity as a whole. This certainty, also present to good extent in Humboldt, has been highlighted in the present article.
dc.description.abstractAlexander von Humboldt y James Bryce recorrieron América Latina con una distancia de un siglo, y ambos se propusieron situarla dentro de un marco continental y mundial. Ambos pusieron particular énfasis en la importancia de la geografía como un factor siempre unido a la historia al momento de explicar el desarrollo de los pueblos, tanto en sus fases más primitivas como en un estado de mayor civilización. Si bien el libro South America (1912) de Bryce ha sido a menudo despreciado por los estudiosos de este autor, lo cierto es que arroja claves importantes de la manera en que este autor entendía la geografía como un verdadero fundamento del desarrollo histórico de las naciones y la humanidad entera. Este convencimiento, también presente en buen medida en Humboldt, se ha puesto de relieve en al artículo presente.
