Abstract

At the height of the Thirty Years War, news from South America, West Africa and the Caribbean was widespread and quickly distributed in the central European peripheries of the early modern Atlantic world. Despite the German retreat from sixteenth-century colonial experiments, overseas reports sometimes appeared in remote southern German towns before they were printed in Spain or the Low Countries. This article explains the vivid German interest in Atlantic news and examines how correspondents designed their overseas reports for a specifically German news market by connecting them to the European political and military situation, using a rhetorical frame of global conflict. While the domestic importance of American news was sometimes overstated by German newsmakers, its dissemination helps us understand how a sense of global connectedness emerged in a new print genre and created a discourse that supported the spatial and temporal integration of events around the globe.

全球化三十年战争：早期的德国报纸及其对大西洋世界的地缘政治观*

摘要

在三十年战争的高潮中，来自南美，西非和加勒比海的消息在现代早期大西洋世界的中欧边缘地区广泛传播并迅速传播。尽管德国人退出了16世纪的殖民试验，但海外报道有时还是出现在德国南部偏远的城镇中，然后才印制在西班牙或低地国家。本文说明了德国人对大西洋新闻的浓厚兴趣，并考察了记者如何利用全球冲突的修辞框架将他们与欧洲的政治和军事局势联系起来，从而为特定的德国新闻市场设计海外报道。尽管德国新闻工作者有时夸大了美国新闻在国内的重要性，
