This study is dedicated to 2 texts written by French Jesuit father Joseph-Francois Lafitau (1681–1746), created in the context of his missionary stay in Nouvelle France: Memoire concernant la precieuse plante du gin-seng de Tartarie (1718) and Mœrs des Sauvages ameriquains comparees aux mœrs des premiers temps (1724). Both texts permit a multi-level analysis of material dimensions of culture and knowledge in the history of knowledge, the first dealing with a botanical subject, the second an anthropological one. They convey a meta-reflective discourse on material-specific epistemological problems that is realized through narrative textual structures. These texts enable a structural view point of systemic functions of the materiality of knowledge in historical epistemological orders. Finally, they show exemplary and significant transmedia representation techniques and the associated textualization and visualization strategies.

关于人参和易洛魁人

本研究致力于法国耶稣会神父约瑟夫·弗朗索瓦·拉菲托 (Joseph-Francois Lafitau)（1681-1746 年）在他在新法国传教期间创作的两部文本：Memoire关注 la precieuse plante du gin-seng de Tartarie（1718 年）和 Mœrs des Sauvages ameriquains comparees aux mœrs des Premiers temps (1724)。这两本书都允许对知识史中文化和知识的物质维度进行多层次的分析，第一个涉及植物学主题，第二个涉及人类学主题。它们传达了通过叙事文本结构实现的关于特定材料认识论问题的元反思话语。这些文本使历史认识论秩序中知识物质性的系统功能的结构观点成为可能。最后，
