Sociocultural Anthropology in German-Speaking Countries
Sociocultural anthropology (Völkerkunde, later Ethnologie and Sozial- und Kulturanthropologie) emerged in German-speaking countries in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It developed from Enlightenment philosophy, travel accounts, and comparative linguistic studies, despite the region’s polities lacking overseas colonies. The Kant–Herder debate on universalism versus relativism, together with the work of the Forsters and the von Humboldt bro…

Kinship Analysis in Specified Contexts
Kinship studies recently have been going through a new wave of attraction in archaeogenetics and archaeology. Interdisciplinary cooperation remains an important challenge in these endeavours. Any research that requires interdisciplinary efforts will lead to reductive and potentially misleading conclusions if that cooperation is restricted to a range that is too narrow. The consequences usually are inadequate research results and insufficient rang…
Ein Sozialwissenschaftler, den die Ethnologie faszinierte – Frühe theoretische Prägungen im Werk von Richard Thurnwald
Die vorliegende Analyse untersucht jene hauptsächlichen, frühen theoretischen und konzeptuellen Einflüsse die Richard Thurnwalds Werk prägten. Obwohl auch weiter reichende Folgewirkungen berücksichtigt werden, kommt diese Forschungsfrage primär für die Frühphasen des Werks und akademischen Lebens eines der im 20. Jahrhundert einflussreichsten und bekanntesten Ethnologen des deutschsprachigen Raums zur Anwendung. Die relevanten hier überprüften Ab…
Richard Thurnwalds formative Phasen in Österreich und Bosnien
The present analysis examines a number of fairly recent research in-sights and the underlying sources related to the early phases of Richard Thurnwald’s career. These phases unfolded mainly in Vienna, Bosnia and Graz, before Thurn-wald moved to Berlin in 1901, eventually to become one of the world’s best-known socio-cultural anthropologists from the German-speaking countries in the twen-tieth century. This article examines Thurnwald’s fieldwork e…
Neo-nationalism in Europe and Beyond
By the early twenty-first century neo-nationalist forces have established themselves in a number of the world’s large regions and subcontinents. From Australia to South Asia, in Eastern and Western Europe, comparable parties and movements have positioned themselves in national parliaments and governments, with some considerable impact on state power. In contrast to right-wing extremist parties in the past, these recent movements mostly operate wi…
The Importance of Reading Ernest
Culture Wars
The relationship between anthropologists’ ethnographic investigations and the lived social worlds in which these originate is a fundamental issue for anthropology. Where some claim that only native voices may offer authentic accounts of culture and hence that ethnographers are only ever interpreters of it, others point out that anthropologists are, themselves, implanted within specific cultural contexts which generate particular kinds of theoreti…
Debating Authenticity
The longing for authenticity, on an individual or collective level, connects the search for external expressions to internal orientations. What is largely referred to as production of authenticity is a reformulation of cultural values and norms within the ongoing process of modernity, impacted by globalization and contemporary transnational cultural flows. This collection interrogates the notion of authenticity from an anthropological point of vi…
Between diversity and hegemony
The present analysis explores for the first time main changes in gender and kinship relations of Upper Yemen between the seventh and the thirteenth century CE. An initial section outlines main continuities throughout this period. The article's three main sections then investigate, first, transformations of kinship terminologies after the seventh and eighth century. Second, changes in reckoning genealogies, as well as descent and inheritance rules…
Kinship and gender relations across historical Asia and Europe
The interface between kinship and gender offers new challenges and opportunities for collaborative endeavours among historians and anthropologists. In one way or another, these two terms (or certai
Regional Comparison in Historical Anthropology
While regional comparison’s methodological relevance is diminishing, its significance for historical anthropology may increase if properly assessed and reconfigured. This chapter argues this point by discussing three examples from historical South Arabia. These cases highlight the significance of adequately reflecting and identifying existing notions of the “regional” in any given research context as the basic frame of reference in this version o…
Refugee studies in Austria today
This article sets out to highlight present-day anthropological contributions to the field of forced migration and to the current debates on this topic in Europe through the experience of developing an international and interdisciplinary network for the study of refugees based in Vienna, Austria. To this end, this article engages with the grounding facts of the present Central European sociohistorical context and global political trends, grapples …
Sharī‘a Scripts
While the Yemen seems to be stumbling from one disaster into the next, it is good to see how some of the best experts in Yemeni studies continue their work in ways that will be useful in the country’s future. The present volume is not only bound to become recognized soon as the magnum opus by Brinkley Messick, professor of anthropology and Middle Eastern, South Asian and African studies at Columbia University and one of the world’s leading expert…
Advances in Overcoming Obsolete Dualisms
A ustria, Anthropology in
Anthropology in Austria was institutionally established at Vienna's Museum for Natural History as a department in 1889 and as a professorship at the University of Vienna in 1912. Early ethnographers of that period (primarily in Bosnia, Arabia, and Central Europe) contributed to the intellectual environment that inspired Franz Boas and Bronisław Malinowski. Research in German and Austrian prisoner‐of‐war camps during World War I shifted the balanc…

Pilots of history
The establishment of the Malinowski Forum for Ethnography and Anthropology in South Tyrol provides a good opportunity in the journal of Italy's relevant academic association for a reconsideration of the current significance of ethnography, as initiated by Malinowski, for various scholarly fields in anthropology and beyond. One of these fields is historical anthropology and history in the broad sense of the term. This article seeks to explore how …

German-language anthropology traditions around 1900
This overview will outline the main chapters of anthropology's development in German before 1900 and thereafter, while paying special attention to the connections to and interactions with respective ethnographic research in Australia. 1 The general rationale of this examination is therefore to explore which intellectual and methodological inspirations emerged inside the history of anthropology in German throughout the nineteenth and early twentie…
Medieval Eurasian Communities by Comparison
When an early 21st-century interdisciplinary research project comprises comparative investigations across three religions and their main realms of influence in medieval Eurasia as here, basic conceptual and epistemological approaches to history emerge. Despite their heterogeneous disciplinary backgrounds, most contributors to the present set of studies operate within the broad middle ground between universalism and particularism. A certain more o…
Science, Race, and Empire
This overview of academic ethnography in the last decades of the Habsburg Empire is given through the example of Vienna as the Empire’s capital. Ethnography is scrutinized in its main dimensions through the four decades from the 1870s till after the end of World War i . Main trends, crucial phases, and key actors are identified and characterized to assess the roles of notions of race and racism. The overall period is marked by the emergence and f…

One Discipline, Four Ways
One Discipline, Four Ways offers a unique comparative perspective on the history and current state of anthropology. Four prominent anthropologists-Fredrik Barth, Andre Gingrich, Robert Parkin, and Sydel Silverman-present their views on the discipline as it has developed in their respective intellectual traditions: British, German, French, and American. Each author traces the historical development of anthropology in their country, highlighting th…
Brexit Referendum
Brexit Referendum: first reactions from anthropologyMy immediate reaction to the results of the British Referendum on leaving or remaining in the EU was to remember Alexei Yurchak's book, Everything was forever, until it was no more (Yurchak 2006).In the book, Yurchak describes the feeling of many people in Russia when the Soviet Union broke up: it came as a complete shock because they thought it would never happen; but once it had happened, it w…
Multiple Histories
This chapter sets out to reconsider the interrelation and non-identity between tribal and kinship relations in South-Western Arabia's history through three cumulative methodological steps that are in part inspired by renewed debates on kinship in anthropology, but also by the École des Annales and other historians such as David Sabaean. A first step identifies different legacies of interactions between history and anthropology in the Euro-America…

Concepts of race vanishing, movements of racism rising? Global issues and Austrian Ethnography
This article discusses a contradiction: while notions of race are disappearing from public and academic discourses, numbers of racist socio-political movements are rising. This paradox is examined, first, on a conceptual and methodological level, and some different uses of the relevant terms (e.g., 'race' and 'Rasse') between English- and German-language spheres are explored. Then, the paradox is assessed through an ethnographic case from Austria…
Anthropological analyses of Islamophobia and anti‐Semitism in Europe
Transitions
In this article, I address the 2009 AAA conference theme by arguing that sociocultural anthropology is going through a unique process of transitions. Although these transitions do not indicate the “end of anthropology” as such, they certainly highlight that the era of national traditions is coming to a close. In the difficult phases of advanced globalization that we are going through, our field is in a relatively good position to further develop …
Visions of Community
The co-editors' introduction to this special issue of History and Anthropology outlines the rationale for featuring this collection of essays by social anthropologists and historians on medieval and early modern communities in Europe and Asia. After discussing basic terms and concepts in this endeavour, the introduction proceeds to address the comparative challenges implied in such transcontinental and cross-cultural forms of methodological pract…

The Nearby Frontier
This paper examines, by means of some concepts and methodological tools offered in the great œuvre of Lévi-Strauss, the mytho-logical ideologemes of certain forms of orientalism, using the example of Austria. A so-called "frontier orientalism" is contrasted against classic colonial orientalism, in order to identify its particularities. The figure of the "nearby stranger" jeopardizes the boundaries of the own, ever uncertain national identity and …

Liberalism in Imperial Anthropology
Эссе Андре Гингрича представляет собой размышления о либеральной антропологической парадигме в имперских контекстах, представленных в сaтатьях авторов исторической рубрики (Германия, Австро-Венгрия, Россия). Он высказывается за отказ от нормативных и ретроспективных определений “либерализма” и детерминистского взгляда на физическую антропологию как на изначально расистскую науку в пользу контекстуализации этих понятий и анализа их оригинальной се…

Trading autonomy for integration
During the first decades of Saudi Arabian rule in the kingdom's present south-western provinces (Jîzân, 'Asîr), several local tribes were granted various kinds of local autonomy, particularly regarding customary law. This "soft" tribal policy stood in marked contrast to the king's dealing with tribes in central and northern Arabia during previous years. The present article examines for the Rijâl Alma' tribe of western 'Asîr some of the underlying…
Anthropology, by Comparison
Comparison has long been the backbone of the discipline of anthropology. But recent developments in anthropology, including critical self-reflection and new case studies sited in a globalized world, have pushed comparative work aside. For the most part, comparison as theory and method has been a casualty of the critique of 'grand theory' and of a growing mistrust of objectivist, hard-science methodology in the social sciences. Today it is time fo…

Time, ritual and social experience
This chapter is concerned with social experience and the anthropological knowledge of temporality. It sets out first to identify anthropology&s;s conventional notions of time within the context of a modern heritage. The chapter argues that in non-secular societies basic notions of temporality are encompassed by mythic rationality and religious principles. The renewed interest of the social sciences in &s;pluritemporalism&s; and &s;heterochronous&…
