Challenges in empire
This article argues that Eduards Volters (1856-1941), an important ethnographer working in the first part of his career with the Imperial Russian Geographical Society, helped demonstrate the value of first-hand observation, social connection, and social context to ethnography through his research in Lithuania from 1882 to 1918. He did so at a time few of his contemporaries embraced his methods. The article seeks to show Volters' developing theore…
Samogitian Cultural Heritage in Numbers
The article analyzes how studies of the Samogitian crosses and chapels, conducted in 1911–1940 by the physicist and ethnographer Ignas Končius (1886–1975) correlate with the global problematics of statistics and ethnography.

While working for the Imperial Russian…

A romantic nation

The Regional Studies Movement in Soviet Lithuania
This article* is dedicated to the regional studies movement in Soviet Lithuania, primarily to ethnography, and argues that Lithuanian ethnographers conducted ethnographic research in different ways. The focus is on the Ramuva movement, founded in 1970 at Vilnius University and continuing until 1994. The activities of the Lithuanian regional studies movement were characterised by diverse education and ethnographic practices. I assert that the key …

This interdisciplinary issue covers the history of ideas, or the science of ideas in the 19th and early 20th centuries and beyond.

Jono Basanavičiaus požiūris į lietuvių tautos tyrimus, 1879–1927
How did the Lithuanian patriarch Jonas Basanavičius inspire the nation with his scientific research? The idea as a movement and development of science fits into the problem of nationalism in the history of the Russian Empire and European science.
