ABSTRACT The “discovery” by the scientific community of the iconic archaeological site of Mapungubwe Hill (thirteenth century AD, South Africa) is said to have taken place in 1933. Early that year, the son of a local farmer, having visited the site for the first time in the final hours of 1932, brought its existence to the attention of Leo Fouché, professor of history at the University of Pretoria. There were, however, indications of an earlier visit by a group of German ethnographers who travelled across southern Africa over a period of some 20 months between 1928 and 1930, led by Leo Frobenius. I present the archive that was produced by the Frobenius expedition in 1928 of the place they called “Manopie” (“Ruinenhügel von Manopie”, “Manopietöpferei”), reconfigured by means of the method of repeat photography. The article also makes a case for the creative possibilities of revisiting the archive, and suggests that the archive is formed through encounters with other ways of being the world, rather than simply being a product of Western epistemologies.

Frobenius 在穿越林波波遗址、古老的防御工事、美丽的陶器山前发现

摘要 科学界对 Mapungubwe Hill(公元 13 世纪,南非)标志性考古遗址的“发现”据说发生在 1933 年。在 1932 年的最后几个小时,它的存在第一次引起了比勒陀利亚大学历史学教授 Leo Fouché 的注意。然而,有迹象表明,在 1928 年至 1930 年间,由 Leo Frobenius 领导的一群德国民族志学家在大约 20 个月的时间里穿越了南部非洲。我展示了 1928 年 Frobenius 探险队在他们称为“Manopie”(“Ruinenhügel von Manopie”,“Manopietöpferei”)的地方制作的档案,通过重复摄影的方法重新配置。
