Abstrakt

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 formal establishment of an internally heterogeneous academic discipline called “Anthropologie und Ethnographie” (anthropology and ethnography).
This took place along three main phases with different priorities and main actors. During that period, “Anthropologie und Ethnographie” was perceived as a more or less unified field of research—in institutional terms at first at the natural history museum since its opening in 1876, and later also at the University of Vienna as of 1912/13.
