Native Americans in German popular culture : ウィキペディア英語版 | Native Americans in German popular culture
The image of Native Americans in German popular culture is in a number of cases an outdated, anachronistic, outsider fantasy of "Red Indians" as noble savages, which bears little resemblance to the lives of contemporary Indigenous peoples in the Americas.〔Eddy, Melissa, "(Lost in Translation: Germany's Fascination With the American Old West )", ''The New York Times'', August 17, 2014. Accessed July 13, 2015〕〔Lopinto, Noemi, "(Der Indianer: Why do 40,000 Germans spend their weekends dressed as Native Americans? )", ''Utne Reader'', May–June 2009. Accessed July 13, 2015〕 This romanticised view of Indigenous peoples, notably the Plains Indians, has had specific influences on folklore, environmentalism, literature, art, historical reenactment, theatrical and film depictions in Germany. Hartmut Lutz coined the term "''Indianthusiasm''" for this phenomenon.〔(German professor lectures on his country's "Indianthusiasm" ), by Darlene Chrapko Sweetgrass Writer, Volume: 19 Issue: 12 Year: 2012, Aboriginal Multi-Media Society AMMSA Canada〕〔Lutz, Hartmut: "German Indianthusiasm: A Socially Constructed German National(ist) Myth" in: ''Germans and Indians: Fantasies, Encounters, Projections'', ed. Colin Gordon Calloway, Gerd Gemnden, Susanne Zantop, Lincoln, Nebraska: U of Nebraska Press, 2002, ISBN 9780803215184.〕 The largest influence on the German imagination of Native Americans is the work of Karl May (1842–1912), who wrote various novels about the American Wild West which relied upon, and further developed, this romantic image.〔Lehman, Will: ''Cultural Perspectives on Film, Literature, and Language'', Margit Grieb Universal-Publishers, 2010 , p.115〕 With sales of more than 50 million copies, he is among the most popular authors (of formula fiction) in the German language.〔Stoehn, Ingo Roland: ''German Literature of the Twentieth Century: From Aestheticism to Postmodernism'', Boydell & Brewer, 2001, p.19〕〔Petzel, Michael & Wehnert, Jürgen: ''Das neue Lexikon rund um Karl May''. Lexikon Imprint Verlag, Berlin 2002.〕 These specifically German fantasies and projections〔Colin Gordon Calloway, Gerd Gemünden, Susanne Zantop (ed.): ''Germans and Indians. Fantasies, encounters, projections''. Lincoln, Nebraska: U of Nebraska Press, 2002, ISBN 9780803215184.〕 about ''Indianer'' (a term that refers to Native Americans in the United States, but also to natives of the Pacific, Central and Latin America, and "Red Indians" in the stereotypical sense) have influenced generations of Germans.〔Perry, Nicole (McGill University Department of German Studies). "(Karl May's ''Winnetou'': The Image of the German Indian. The Representation of North American First Nations from an Orientalist Perspective )" ((Archive )). August 2006. - (Info page )〕 However, Karl May never visited America, or had any direct contact with Native American people, before he wrote these influential works,〔 making the foundation of this view fictional, and based on Racial stereotypes of Native Americans along with cultural misrepresentation and misappropriation rather than reality.〔〔 ==Background ==
