Dear All,
I propose to illustrate the Presence construct with frst part of the
travel of Humboldt to Venezuela:
Take the travels of Alexander von Humboldt. Many of his whereabouts do
not qualify as activities.
Use
as sources:
http://www.whg-lu.de/is2000/avh/regenwald/suedamerikareise.htm (see
Appendix, google translation)
and “Alexander von Humboldt: Die Südamerika-Reise (Einzige von A. v.
Humboldt autorisierte deutsche Ausgabe): Originaltitel: Reise in die
Äquinoktial-Gegenden des Neuen Kontinents“
Actors: Aime Bonpland, Alexander von Humboldt
1799, June 5 to June 19: *MOVE* from from La Coruna, Spain to Tenerife
island, Spain,
1799, June 20 to June 24 *PRESENCE* in Tenerife island, Spain,
*PRESENCE* on Pico de Teide summit, meeting the Dragon Tree still
*living today*. Existing Illustrations.
1799 June 25 to July 16 *MOVE* from from Tenerife island, Spain to
Cumana, (today in Venezuela)
1799 July 17 to November 17 *PRESENCE* in Cumana, travel inland,
*PRESENCE* in Cumana
1799 18. bis 21. Nov. *MOVE* from Cumana to Caracas (today in Venezuela)
If this is regarded a good case, please give me feed back and help with
graphics. I have read the complete publication in German on Kindle. All
places and times in it are very precise.
Other cases would be witnesses of olitical events, such as French
Revolution, that happened to be in the city at respective times. Famous
became the discovery of a diary of a mercenary in the sacking of
Magdeburg, but the content has not yet been published. These uses of
Presence allow for collecting material from people around important
social developments.
I do not have access to such cases, and would need help to find them.
Best,
Martin
