Formative encounters
Data collections are a hallmark of nineteenth-century administrative knowledge making, and they were by no means confined to Europe. All colonial empires transferred and translated these techniques of serialised and quantified information gathering to their dominions overseas. The colonial situation affected the encounters underlying vital statistics, enquête methods and land surveying. In this paper, two of those data collections will be investi…

Shells and Order
This article examines the short-lived colony of German New Guinea (1884–1914) to reflect on divergent frames of bureaucratic and academic knowledge production. Scholars of law at German universities from this period showed an avid interest in the legal customs of people presumed to be colonized, while readily admitting that bureaucrats knew more about this important emerging field and knew it first. In order to understand the unfolding dynamic of…
Quantification as Conflict. Witold Kula’s Political Metrology and Its Reception in the West
Units of measurement appear as media of social confl ict in Witold Kula’s seminal study on metrication. Given the current discussions around political epistemology, Kula’s treatment of metrology is telling. He turns the supposedly neutral auxiliary science of weights and measures into a matter of concern. The reception of his concepts in the West is outlined (history of historical metrology, the Annales school, and the history of science), and th…
Little by Little‘. Datensammlung und Skalierung in der Rechtsethnologie des 19. Jahrhunderts
‘Little by Little’. Data Collection and Scales in Nineteenth‐Century Legal Anthropology . With the growing possibilities to measure and accumulate data, two strategies for a small discipline like the history of science are suggested: (1) It should facilitate and maintain the cooperation of specialists who pursue different subject matters and methods. (2) It should invite the recent history of quantification as an essential perspective. A large da…
Injury and Measurement
The article takes a close look at Jacob Grimm's astonishing account of measurement in his lesser-known studies on the history of law. Grimm gives a thorough description of concrete quantification of property and the measurement of economic value in a European rural setting. Both techniques are considered a necessary 'infrastructure' for any use of money, yet his exposition is curiously devoid of numbers. Instead, 'poetic' and procedural scripts o…
Bonds
Die seit fünf Jahren aktuelle Finanz- und Schuldenkrise wird häufig moralisch kommentiert. Diese verbreitete Praxis bezieht sich auf die Gewissheit, dass manche Straftaten durch Geldzahlungen gesühnt werden können, also durch Verwandlung einer rechtlich-moralischen in eine finanzielle Schuld, und umgekehrt versäumte Geldzahlungen – zum Beispiel Steuerhinterziehungen – durch Haftstrafen geahndet werden können. Ökonomische sind häufig moralische En…
