Die "Wissenschaften vom Menschen" auf Wiener Boden (1870-1959)
Die Anthropologische Gesellschaft in Wien wurde am 13. Februar 1870 gegründet. Ihre Geschichte und fördernde Wirkung sowie der wissenschaftsgeschichtliche Werdegang der unter ihrem Dach vereinigten anthropologischen Fächer (Anthropologie, Ethnologie, Urgeschichte, Volkskunde) bis zum Jahre 1959 sind Gegenstand dieses Buches. Hohes Augenmerk gilt dabei auch den Funktionären und Fachvertretern, ihren wissenschaftstheoretischen Diskursen, ihren Hilfeleistungen für biologistische Doktrinen, ihrer politisch-ideologischen Instrumentalisierung im NS-Staat sowie ihren Verdrängungsstrategien nach 1945.
"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.
