"Blood and Homeland"
The history of eugenics and racial nationalism in Central and Southeast Europe is a neglected topic of analysis in contemporary scholarship. Moreover, national historiographies in Central and Southeast Europe have either marginalized eugenics and racial nationalism or deemed them incompatible with their respective national traditions. Accordingly, this volume has a two-fold ambition: to excavate the hitherto unknown eugenic movements in Central and Southeast Europe and to explain their relationship with racism, nationalism and anti-Semitism. On the one hand, the historiographic perspective substantiated in this volume connects developments in the history of racial anthropology, genetics and eugenics with political ideologies such as racial nationalism and anti-Semitism; on the other hand, it contests the 'Sonderweg' approach adopted by scholars dealing these phenomena in Central and Southeast Europe by arguing that concerns with eugenics and race were as widely disseminated in these regions as they were in Western Europe and North America.

Doing Anthropology in Wartime and War Zones
World War I marks a well-known turning point in anthropology, and this volume is the first to examine the variety of forms it took in Europe. Distinct national traditions emerged and institutes were founded, partly due to collaborations with the military. Researchers in the cultural sciences used war zones to gain access to »informants«: prisoner-of-war and refugee camps, occupied territories, even the front lines. Anthropologists tailored their inquiries to aid the war effort, contributed to interpretations of the war as a »struggle« between »races«, and assessed the »warlike« nature of the Balkan region, whose crises were key to the outbreak of the Great War.
Multidisciplinary Approaches to Visual Representations and Interpretations
The value of multi-disciplinary research lies in the exchange of ideas and methods across the traditional boundaries between areas of study. It could be argued that many of the advances in science and engineering take place because the ideas, methods and the tools of thought from one discipline become re-applied in another.The topic of "the visual" has become increasingly important as advances in technology have led to multi-media and multi-modal representations, and extended the range and scope of visual representation and interpretation in our lives. Under this broad heading there are many different perspectives and approaches, from across the entire spectrum of human knolwedge and activit...
Listening to Colonial History. Echoes of Coercive Knowledge Production in Historical Sound Recordings from Southern Africa
European archives hold historical voice recordings that were produced by linguists, ethnologists and musicologists during colonial rule in African countries. While these recordings reverberate with the polyphonic echoes of colonial knowledge production, to date, acoustic collections have rarely been consulted as sources of colonial history. In this book Anette Hoffmann engages with a Southern African audio-visual collection, which is located in five different institutions across Vienna, Austria. Several recordings collected by the anthropologist Rudolf Pch in August 1908 have been retranslated for this book. These translations provide new insights into Pchs collecting expedition to the Kalahari. Pchs narrative of his heroic journey is called into question by the Naro speakers comments, which address colonial violence and criticise the research practices of the anthropologist. By attending to the spoken texts on the recordings and reconnecting them to photographs, ethnographic objects, archival documentation and Pchs travelogue, Hoffmann offers a different reading of this research trip into a war zone.triesries.

Bilder der Wandlung
In diesem Band werden acht Spielfilme untersucht, deren Hauptfiguren in kurzer Zeit, d.h. über wenige Wochen bis zu eineinhalb Jahren, einen grundlegenden charakterlichen Wandlungsprozess erleben. Es wird eine Palette typologischer, filmischer Gestaltungsmittel herausgearbeitet, die als Visualisierungsmuster für Prozesse des Scheiterns und der Reifung eingesetzt werden. Spezifische Gestaltungsweisen von z.B. Kostüm, Schauplätzen und Blickweisen der Kamera, aber auch in der narrativen Konstruktion, der Wissensgabe und Zeitdarstellung zählen zu den typologisierbaren Visualisierungselementen für charakterliche Wandlungsprozesse. Die zentralen Erkenntnisse dieser Studie eröffnen innovative Perspektiven auf filmische Gestaltung - sowohl für die Filmpraxis (Drehbuchautoren, Regisseure, Kameraleute, Szenografen, Produzenten u.a.) als auch für die Film- und Medienwissenschaft.
