    Abstract: "Centré sur l`ethnologie française des années 1930-1960, enrichi de deux articles consacrés à Jomo Kenyatta et James Mooney, ce Carnet de Bérose revient sur la question, aujourd`hui encore brûlante, des relations entre anthropologie et colonialisme. Ce qui fut l`un des enjeux majeurs de l`histoire des sciences humaines et sociales au vingtième siècle le demeure au vingt-et-unième. À partir d`une série d`essais biographiques mettant la focale sur l`ethnologue engagé dans un terrain colonial précis et daté, un tel ouvrage souhaite combler une attente au sein du monde éditorial francophone. Nous renouons ainsi avec les questions posées par Leiris à sa communauté professionnelle en 1950 : comment les ethnologues assument-ils leur implication dans le système colonial ? Comment s`articulent l`expérience ethnographique et les responsabilités de l`anthropologue vis-à-vis du colonialisme ? Pour cette génération d`anthropologues qui ont partagé l`expérience d`un même monde en rupture, en résistance et en mouvement, confrontés aux guerres coloniales, à leurs propres désenchantements et ambivalences, l`aventure de l`ethnologie fait place rapidement à une ethnologie « pratique », impliquée et appliquée, qui met au défi leur positionnement savant et politique. Michel Leiris, Georges Balandier, Charles Le Cœur, Jacques Berque, Jacques Soustelle, Pierre Bourdieu, Paul Mus, Georges Condominas, Maurice Leenhardt, Jean Guiart, Paul Hazoumé, Fily Dabo Sissoko, ou encore Jomo Kenyatta et James Mooney : autant d`ethnologues apprentis aux prises avec une pluralité de situations coloniales à chaque fois singulières obligeant à nuancer la vision parfois monolithique du rapport savoir/pouvoir."

    Tulagi : Pacific outpost of British empire (2019)

    Keywords: Ozeanien Pazifik, Insel ; Salomonen ; Kolonie, britisch ; Zweiter Weltkrieg ; Geschichte
    Abstract: Tulagi was the capital of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate between 1897 and 1942. The British withdrawal from the island during the Pacific War, its capture by the Japanese and the American reconquest left the island's facilities damaged beyond repair. After the war, Britain moved the capital to the American military base on Guadalcanal, which became Honiara. The Tulagi settlement was an enclave of several small islands, the permanent population of which was never more than 600: 300 foreigners--one-third of European origin and most of the remainder Chinese--and an equivalent number of Solomon Islanders. Thousands of Solomon Islander males also passed through on their way to work on plantations and as boat crews, hospital patients and prisoners. The history of the Tulagi enclave provides an understanding of the origins of modern Solomon Islands. Tulagi was also a significant outpost of the British Empire in the Pacific, which enables a close analysis of race, sex and class and the process of British colonisation and government in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

    Die _Tataren : Geschichte, Fremd- und Eigenbild einer muslimischen Gemeinschaft in Ostpolen (2019)

    Series Statement: Kölner Ethnologische Beiträge Heft 54
    Keywords: Polen Mongolen ; Tataren ; Muslime ; Geschichte ; Selbstbild ; Ethnizität ; Fremdwahrnehmung
    Abstract: Frau Pega hat in ihrer Masterarbeit ein Thema behandelt, das aus verschiedenen Gründen bedeutsam ist. Zum einen findet sich, abgesehen von Veröffentlichungen in polnischer Sprache und den Übersetzungen einzelner Artikel ins Englische, keine umfassende Publikation zu den muslimischen Tataren, die seit Jahrhunderten im Osten Polens leben. Weiterhin kommt der Arbeit eine übergeordnete Bedeutung zu: In einer Zeit, geprägt von zunehmender Islamfeindlichkeit und Problemen der Integration, gibt die Geschichte und Gegenwart der Tataren in Polen ein Beispiel für harmonisches Zusammenleben einer muslimischen Minderheit mit einer christlichen Mehrheit. Nach einer Einleitung und einem Überblick über den Forschungsstand zu polnischen Tatar*innen gibt Frau Pega eine Zusammenfassung zur Geschichte der Tataren seit der Zeit der "Goldene Horde", über die ersten Ansiedlungen im Großfürstentum Litauen und Ostpolen bis hin zu ihrer heutigen Situation. Im Folgenden wendet sie sich dem Schwerpunkt der Arbeit zu: Ethnizität und Kultur der polnischen Tataren. Hier haben sowohl Untersuchungen der polnischen Sozialwissenschaft als auch die von Frau Pega durchgeführten Befragungen zur Ethnizität immer wieder zu ähnlichen Antworten geführt: die Befragten bezeichneten sich jeweils als "muslimische Polen", "Polen muslimischen Glaubens mit tatarischen Wurzeln" oder auch nur als "Tatarische Polen". Des Weiteren weisen auch die Befragungen bei der Mehrheitsbevölkerung auf sehr geringe Vorurteile gegenüber dem muslimischen Bevölkerungsanteil hin. In einem der folgenden Kapitel wird geschildert wie Tataren bemüht sind ihre Traditionen zu erhalten, was nicht nur die Pflege ihrer Moscheen und islamischen Friedhöfe betrifft, sondern auch ihre Bemühungen, die Erinnerung an ein zentralasiatisches Erbe wachzuhalten. Dies kommt besonders bei ihren Festen und alljährlichen Veranstaltungen auf der "Tatarenroute" zum Ausdruck, bei denen Bogenschießen, Reiterspiele oder auch das Leben in einer Jurte vorgestellt werden. In ihrem Fazit weist Frau Pega auf einige Ursachen für das konfliktfreie Miteinander der beiden Gemeinschaften hin: Es sind die seit Jahrhunderten gemeinsam durchlebte Geschichte Polens, die immerwährende Staatstreue der Tataren, besonders aber das Wissen um die heldenhaften tatarischen Heerführer in den polnischen Armeen, die ein wesentlicher Teil des kollektiven Gedächtnis aller Polen manifestiert hat. Weiterhin führte der wenig orthodox ausgeprägte Islam dazu, dass Heiraten zwischen Christen und Muslimen keine Seltenheit sind. Abschließend könnte gesagt werden, dass sich hier, über die Jahrhunderte, ein "Euro-Islam" im Sinne Bassam Tibis entwickelt hat. (Verlagsangaben)

    Warrior women : contested understandings of violence and gender in Highland Mexico (2019)

    Keywords: Mexiko Hochland ; Frau ; Frau und Politik ; Frau und sozialer Status ; Kulturkonflikt ; Soziale Organisation ; Indigenität ; Feminismus ; Frauenrecht ; Gewalt ; Anthropologie, soziale ; Anthropologie, politische
    Abstract: Based on 15 months of ethnographic research in Milpa Alta, a rural, southern municipality of Mexico City, this thesis focuses on local understandings and contestations surrounding "violence against Indigenous women", while questioning the meaning of "violence", "Indigeneity", and "femininity," and the relationship between these concepts. I argue for rethinking violence, as present interventions in Milpa Alta may contribute more to perpetuating than alleviating it. Newly circulating discourses of human rights and women`s rights, and high numbers of femicide and sexual trafficking victims in the region, have made Milpaltenses aware of the issue of violence against women. Paradoxically, many acknowledged it to be widespread, while insisting that women and men are equally powerful: Local ideologies of work and love emphasise complementarity and interdependency in marriage. In practice, interdependent work and love contain within themselves potential for violence. Instead of directly discussing "violence", Milpaltenses often spoke of "order" and "chaos": They interpreted certain acts as maintaining or changing embodied states and the social order. Violence was also often likened to love, as one may find expression in the other, and both engender transformation. Instead of viewing women as "victims", a pejorative epithet, they were frequently lionized as "strong women", "hard workers", "strugglers", and "warriors", protecting their families and communities from all kinds of harm. Historically, women have fought alongside their men in the communal struggle to defend the local forest against the interests of mining companies and paper factories. In sum, my analysis of local discourse, life history interviews, historical and mythic narratives, religious practice, and gendered work shows that violence against Milpaltense women can neither be understood in terms of "culturally legitimate violence", nor in terms of patriarchal oppression alone. Thus, anti-violence strategies promoting an individualist notion of women`s rights are not only inefficient, but also risk socially isolating the women accepting this approach. I conclude that intervening to save women from "cultural violence" and imposing a particular understanding of violence, is ineffective. Development initiatives would be more likely to meet women`s needs if they built on local understandings, which link love and violence, rather than oppose these. (Abstract)

    Abstract: Being a first of its kind, this volume comprises a multi-disciplinary exploration of Mozambique`s contemporary and historical dynamics, bringing together scholars from across the globe. Focusing on the country`s vibrant cultural, political, economic and social world - including the transition from the colonial to the postcolonial era - the book argues that Mozambique is a country still emergent, still unfolding, still on the move. Drawing on the disciplines of history, literature studies, anthropology, political science, economy and art history, the book serves not only as a generous introduction to Mozambique but also as a case study of a southern African country.

    Abstract: Mickey Dewar made a profound contribution to the history of the Northern Territory, which she performed across many genres. She produced high-quality, memorable and multi-sensory histories, including the Cyclone Tracy exhibition at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and the reinterpretation of Fannie Bay Gaol. Informed by a great love of books, her passion for history was infectious. As well as offering three original chapters that appraise her work, this edited volume republishes her first book, In Search of the Never-Never. In Dewar`s comprehensive and incisive appraisal of the literature of the Northern Territory, she provides brilliant, often amusing insights into the ever-changing representations of a region that has featured so large in the Australian popular imagination.

    Abstract: Unjust Conditions follows the lives and labors of poor mothers in rural Peru, richly documenting the ordeals they face to participate in mainstream poverty alleviation programs. Championed by behavioral economists and the World Bank, conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs are praised as efficient mechanisms for changing poor people's behavior. While rooted in good intentions and dripping with the rhetoric of social inclusion, CCT programs' successes ring hollow, based solely on metrics for children's attendance at school and health appointments. Looking beyond these statistics reveals a host of hidden costs for the mothers who meet the conditions. With a poignant voice and keen focus on ethnographic research, Tara Patricia Cookson turns the reader's gaze to women's care work in landscapes of grossly inadequate state investment, cleverly drawing out the tensions between social inclusion and conditionality.

    Abstract: Regions have been widely expressed in the sovereignty strategies of concrete actors since the early 19th century; Since the end of the Cold War, they seem to be a favored response to current globalization processes, especially in the Global South. This volume introduces the fragmented knowledge of different disciplines on the topic of regions and regionalization projects. Regionen haben in den Souveränitätsstrategien konkreter Akteure bereits seit dem fru¨hen 19. Jahrhundert vielfältigen Ausdruck gefunden; seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges scheinen sie eine bevorzugte Reaktion auf aktuelle Globalisierungsprozesse darzustellen - vor allem im Globalen Süden. Dieser Band führt in die fragmentierten Wissensbestände unterschiedlicher Disziplinen zum Thema Regionen und Regionalisierungsprojekte ein.

    Keywords: Tibet China ; Himalaya ; Muslime ; Grenze ; Diaspora ; Geschichte ; Lhasa 〈Stadt, Tibet〉
    Abstract: "Islamic Shangri-La transports readers into the heart of the Himalayas by tracing the rise of the Tibetan Muslim (Khache) community from the early 17th century to the present. Over the past four centuries, the Tibetan Muslims advised several Dalai Lamas, contributed to Tibetan music and literature, and engaged in transregional trade with many of Tibet`s neighbors. Deftly blending contemporary media accounts and interviews with archival documents, this book brings the frustrations and hopes of Tibetan Muslims, and thus of Tibet, to life. Less a history of religion than a history of the Himalayas, the book explores the eddying currents of peoples and states generally excluded from traditional histories of Asia. Its focus on the Tibetan Muslims` multifaceted role in Tibetan society highlights Tibet`s broader inter-Asian positioning and delves into the intertwined relationship between Tibet and Nepal, Kashmir, and other Himalayan states. The story of the Tibetan Muslims provides a new perspective on a history we thought we knew quite well. Illuminating their positioning within the dynamics of Asian state formation with a particular emphasis on the dramatic events of early to mid-20th century, the book opens an unparalleled examination of the long shadows of Tibet`s past on today`s Asia.

    Keywords: Demokratische Republik Kongo USA ; Kolonialismus ; Postkolonialismus ; Rassismus ; Geschichte
    Abstract: To justify the plundering of todays Democratic Republic of the Congo, U.S. intellectual elites have continuously produced dismissive Congo discourses. Tracing these discourses in great depth and breadth for the first time, Johnny Van Hove shows how U.S. intellectuals (and their influential European counterparts) have been using the Congo in similar fashions for their own goals. Analyzing intellectuals as diverse as W.E.B. Du Bois, Joseph Conrad, and David Van Reybrouck, the book offers a theorization of Central West Africa, a case study of normalized narratives on the »Other«, and a stirring wake up call for all contemporary writers on international history and politics.

    Keywords: Ozeanien Melanesien ; Neu-Kaledonien ; Kanake ; Gewalt ; Kolonialismus ; Kolonie, französisch ; Geschichte
    Abstract: War and Other Means describes and analyses the practices of war, the `objects of war` and the conventions of the use of violence in Houaïlou, New Caledonia. It focuses on the colonial repression conducted in 1856 and after, the anti-sorcerer hunt in 1955, the independence mobilisation in the 1980s and the village feuds in the 2000s. Through this archaeology of violence, it reports on the practical inventiveness, intelligence and cunning of the Kanaks involved in social, often violent, conflicts. The use of archival material and recourse to the oral stories gathered from the inhabitants of Houaïlou restores the depth of these historical moments and the nested contexts of the political action that unfolded; it also questions the value and limits of fieldwork investigation. These episodes are moments of change in the social, administrative, land and political organisation of New Caledonia; they make it possible to understand, from France`s takeover to the present day, the real modalities of implementation of colonial and postcolonial governmentality. The attention given to the invention, the importation or the adaptation of repressive techniques, closely linked to the French experience in Algeria, opens up a geopolitics of colonisation. Through this detailed description of the social logics of conflict, Michel Naepels also invites us to reflect on the place of European fantasies on violence and on the representations of otherness.

Making Mala argues that in essence Malaitans are no different from other Solomon Islanders, and that their dominance, both in numbers and their place in the modern nation, can be explained through their recent history. A grounding theme of the book is its argument that, far than being conservative, Malaitan religions and cultures have always been adaptable and have proved remarkably flexible in accommodating change. This has been the secret of Malaitan success. Malaitans rocked the foundations of the British protectorate during the protonationalist Maasina Rule movement in the 1940s and the early 1950s, have heavily engaged in internal migration, particularly to urban areas, and were central to the 'Tension Years' between 1998 and 2003. Making Mala reassesses Malaita's history, demolishes undeserved tropes and uses historical and cultural analyses to explain Malaitans' place in the Solomon Islands nation today.

    Abstract: Kuk is a settlement at c. 1600 m altitude in the upper Wahgi Valley of the Western Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea, near Mount Hagen, the provincial capital. The site forms part of the highland spine that runs for more than 2500 km from the western head of the island of New Guinea to the end of its eastern tail. Until the early 1930s, when the region was first explored by European outsiders, it was thought to be a single, uninhabited mountain chain. Instead, it was found to be a complex area of valleys and basins inhabited by large populations of people and pigs, supported by the intensive cultivation of the tropical American sweet potato on the slopes above swampy valley bottoms. With the end of World War II, the area, with others, became a focus for the development of coffee and tea plantations, of which the establishment of Kuk Research Station was a result. Large-scale drainage of the swamps produced abundant evidence in the form of stone axes and preserved wooden digging sticks and spades for their past use in cultivation. Investigations in 1966 at a tea plantation in the upper Wahgi Valley by a small team from The Australian National University yielded a date of over 2000 years ago for a wooden stick collected from the bottom of a prehistoric ditch. The establishment of Kuk Research Station a few kilometres away shortly afterwards provided an ideal opportunity for a research project.

    Abstract: The Solomon Islands Campaign of World War II has been the subject of many published historical accounts. Most of these accounts present an 'outsider' perspective with limited reference to the contribution of indigenous Solomon Islanders as coastwatchers, scouts, carriers and labourers under the Royal Australian Navy and other Allied military units. Where islanders are mentioned, they are represented as 'loyal' helpers. The nature of local contributions in the war and their impact on islander perceptions are more complex than has been represented in these outsiders' perspectives. Islander encounters with white American troops enabled self-awareness of racial relationships and inequality under the colonial administration, which sparked struggles towards recognition and political autonomy that emerged in parts of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate in the postwar period. Exploitation of postwar military infrastructure by the colonial administration laid the foundation for later sociopolitical upheaval experienced by the country. In the aftermath of the 1998 crisis, the supposed unity and pride that prevailed among islanders during the war has been seen as an avenue whereby different ethnic identities can be unified. This national unification process entailed the construction of the 'Pride of our Nation' monument that aims to restore the pride and identity of Solomon Islanders

    Damara in Namibia : naturally Namibian and proudly #Nu-Khoe : Geschichtsproduktion im Spannungsfeld von Tradition und Politik (2017)

    Abstract: Die Dissertation stellt eine ethnografische Studie der Produktion von Geschichte durch Damara dar, einer Minderheit in Namibia. Die motivierten Erinnerungen von Kollektiven und Individuen verdeutlichen, dass es sich dabei um eine Strategie der doppelten politischen Positionierung handelt, einmal der Damara als gleichberechtigter Teil der Nation, zum anderen einzelner traditioneller Führungspersönlichkeiten im Kontext von Ethnie und Staatspolitik. Der Anteil der in acht eigenständige lokale Gruppen unterteilten Damara beträgt sieben Prozent an der Gesamtbevölkerung von etwa 2,4 Millionen. Den größten Anteil bilden mit 52 Prozent Owambo. Die Geschichtsproduktion lässt sich in zwei Phasen unterteilen. Nach der Unabhängigkeit im Jahre 1990 ging es zunächst um den Aufbau der neuen Nation unter Berücksichtigung der gesetzlichen Eingliederung von Ethnien in das neue Staatswesen. Nach dem Gedenkjahr 2004 an den Deutsch-Namibischen Krieg von 1904-1908 und den Völkermord an Herero und Nama wurde das Interesse der Darama vorrangig, auch als Kriegsopfer anerkannt zu werden. Damara imaginieren ihre Zusammengehörigkeit mit dem Eigennamen #NuKhoen - "schwarze Menschen", den sie sich als Erstbewohner selbst gegeben haben sollen, und einer gemeinsamen Sprache. Bedeutende Akteure der Geschichtsproduktion sind zwei traditionelle Würdenträger, die zugleich in der Politik aktiv sind. Der eine trägt den traditionellen Titel `König`. Eine Königswürde wird vom Staat aber nicht anerkannt. Der `König` vertritt Damara-Interessen in der Staatspolitik über die kleine oppositionelle Partei UDF, die als Damara-Partei gilt. Der andere ist ein lokaler chief, der staatlich anerkannt ist und zum Vizepräsidenten des staatlichen Council of Traditional Leaders gewählt wurde. Als Mitglied der mächtigen Regierungspartei SWAPO steht er in politischer Konkurrenz zum `König`. Darüber hinaus ist er anders als der sogenannte `König` königlicher Herkunft. Er stammt von dem ersten von der deutschen Kolonialmacht eingesetzten `König` ab. Die lokalen Sub-Gruppen sind in zwei parteipolitische Gruppierungen fraktioniert. Als Wähler der UDF oder der SWAPO erwarten sie von dem jeweiligen Würdenträger als parteipolitischen Repräsentanten die Vertretung ihrer lokalen Interessen in der Staatspolitik. Das wichtigste Instrument der Geschichtsproduktion sind Kulturfeste. Kollektive Partizipation und rituelle Inszenierung vermitteln kulturelle und politische Identität. Als ein Ergebnis lokaler Geschichtsproduktion kann die Veröffentlichung der Gewohnheitsrechte (2013) der sieben staatlich anerkannten Sub-Gruppen verzeichnet werden. Als politische Strategie jedoch bleibt die Geschichtsproduktion ein still ongoing process. (Zusammenfassung)

    Abstract: This work is another instalment of a scholarly bibliography in the social sciences and history of Ethiopia and Eritrea, produced at the African Studies Centre (University of Leiden). It is the fifth and last publication by the author on this subject, and is only published as an E-book (The other volumes - of 1991, 1995, 2003 and 2010 - were first published in print form). The bibliography gives a representative choice of the most important and insightful scholarly contributions (and also some of the more `popular` material written for wider audiences) of the past five years, which have seen a notable acceleration of work and many new insights into the dynamics of the North-East African region. While fairly complete on a number of themes, citing the most authoritative titles, the work is obviously not exhaustive in its coverage. It provides, nonetheless, an essential starting point for research work, reference and teaching on the societies, culture and history of Northeast Africa.

    Abstract: "In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Dutch diplomats, scholars and travellers assembled unique collections in Jeddah, Mecca and Medina. The Dutch presence in Arabia, where they established a consulate in Jeddah, was intimately connected with the supervision of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca from the Netherlands East Indies, present-day Indonesia. Notable guests at this consulate included the formidable Dutch Islamicist Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje, visiting Arabia in 1884-1885. With the invaluable help of local Muslims, Dutch collectors tried to capture the essence of what they regarded as an `authentic` Oriental culture in a period when Arabia was already looking towards modernity. These extensive collections are now preserved at the Leiden Museum of Ethnology and Leiden University Libaries. Together, they allow a glimpse into a colourful and vibrant society."

    Abstract: Ethnicity and the Colonial State analyses, through a comparison of three West African communities (Wolof, Temne, and Ewe), the ways in which ethnic labels and arguments are used (or omitted) in dealings with colonial administrations. It follows these strategies and choices over more than a century, between the conquest periods and independence. Where state structures were weak as a factor of group cohesion, ethnic arguments were especially likely to come into play. The analysis discusses internal fissures and conflicting interests within the communities as other incentives for ethnic coalition-building. The observations made in this book are put into the context of a global historical perspective, for which "ethnicity" has so far remained a badly defined concept.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- Group identifications : African and global categories -- Wolof and Wolofisation : statehood, colonial rule, and identification in Senegal -- Fragmentation and the Temne : from war raids into ethnic civil wars -- 'Ethnic identity' as an anti-colonial weapon? Ewe mobilisation from the late nineteenth century to the 1960s -- Conclusion.

    Abstract: The academic field of Dalit studies is relatively new, emerging since the 1990s in South Asia and in diasporic communities. Dalit intellectuals theorize Indian historiography and social sciences through the lenses of humiliation and dignity, pointing to the painful history of Dalit groups (formerly called untouchables) and the contemporary perpetuation of caste inequality. As part of a challenge to high-caste Hindu intelligentsia with privileged upbringings, DALIT STUDIES includes a high proportion of Dalit scholars from non-elite social and institutional backgrounds. Contributors analyze the work of Dalit activists across colonial and postcolonial periods, countering a tradition of viewing them as passive victims and objects of reform.This title was made Open Access by libraries from around the world through Knowledge Unlatched.

    Abstract: This collection represents a serious re-examination of existing work on the Aboriginal history of nineteenth-century Victoria, deploying the insights of postcolonial thought to wrench open the inner workings of territorial expropriation and its historically tenacious variability. Colonial historians have frequently asserted that the management and control of Aboriginal people in colonial Victoria was historically exceptional; by the end of the century, colonies across mainland Australia looked to Victoria as a `model` for how to manage the problem of Aboriginal survival. This collection carefully traces the emergence and enactment of this `model` in the years after colonial separation, the idiosyncrasies of its application and the impact it had on Aboriginal lives.

    Abstract: Ending Slavery offers insights into the how of practices of slavery that persist in parts of Mauritania up to the present day. It brings to the light the gendered structures of Moorish slavery, and examines their impact on strategies and tactics designed to bring this institution to an end. Underlying this study is empirical data gathered during two periods of field research in rural central Mauritania. The analysis of life histories of slaves and freed slaves, but also of tributaries and free Moors plays a key role in the book.

    Abstract: Les premières années du vingtième siècle sont fertiles en moments, événements et publications qui, rétrospectivement, dénotent tous la recomposition en cours de la « science de l`homme », comme l`appelaient alors ses protagonistes. Une effervescence institutionnelle caractérise ce champ scientifique qui voit une autonomisation accrue de plusieurs disciplines marquant chacune leur territoire et leurs ambitions, parallèlement à un affaiblissement du magistère de l`anthropologie physique. Dans la division du travail scientifique, la pratique ethnographique gagne progressivement en légitimité. L`intensité des débats sur les origines et les formes des religions primitives bouscule la théologie catholique, en même temps qu`elle fait entendre une analyse savante et laïque des phénomènes religieux grâce à une attention grandissante accordée aux matériaux ethnographiques qui viennent nourrir la réflexion des historiens des religions, sociologues, philosophes, préhistoriens, anthropologues et linguistes.S`il s`agit bien d`une histoire disciplinaire qui est ici esquissée, elle tente de dépasser ce strict découpage pour rappeler que l`anthropologie fut au croisement de nombreuses disciplines qui ont également contribué à son émergence et à sa reconnaissance. Par ses multiples coups de sonde dans ce champ scientifique très dynamique, 1913, la recomposition de la science de l`homme propose un état des lieux certes incomplet mais suggestif des tensions, des enjeux, des rapports de force, des dialogues, des pratiques scientifiques, qui le structurent et l`animent. Les différents auteurs rassemblés ici font le pari de la pertinence heuristique de l`approche situationnelle, contextuelle, institutionnelle, pour une histoire de l`anthropologie qui s`intéresserait tout à la fois aux idées, aux revues, aux institutions de savoir, aux réseaux de sociabilité savante, aux acteurs qui n`eurent pas tous l`heur d`être sacrés pères fondateurs de la discipline.

    Abstract: Wie verlaufen die Argumentationsmuster in Völkerkundemuseen und den Wissenschaften der Völkerkunde sowie der Anthropologie zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts? Das Buch versucht, dieser Frage an zwei Fallbeispielen nachzugehen, indem der theoretische Diskurs der Sammlungs-, Ausstellungs-, Lehr- und Forschungspraxis gegenübergestellt wird. Der identifizierte Wandel von einem »Kultur«- hin zu einem »Rasse«-Begriff sowie der Perspektivenwechsel von Objekten hin zu Körpern wird dabei in einem breiten kolonialen Kontext interpretiert - über ein tradiertes Epochenverständnis hinaus. Dadurch werden Kontinuitäten und Brüche präziser erkennbar als bislang üblich.
