Adolf Bastian and His Universal Archive of Humanity

Condición: Neu. The Origins of German Anthropology. Edited by Manuela Fischer, Peter Bolz and Susan Kamel. The 27 contributors are examining Bastian?s personality, his writings, and his legacy. They are dealing with the scientific community in Berlin, his work at the museum and the work of the generation after him. A major part of the contributions is dedicated to his voyages in different parts of the world, and finally two examples are demonstrating the significance of the collections assembled during his lifetime for modern native communities. This volume is the result of a symposium held at the Ethnological Museum Berlin in 2005. The 26 contributions are divided by five topics: Adolf Bastian and the Constitution of a Science; The Scientific Community in 19th Century Berlin; The Generation after Bastian; The Ethnological Museum as an Archive of Humanity; Perspectives of Museums Collections. In addition, this volume features an appendix with a detailed chronology of Bastian's life and work as well as a comprehensive bibliography of his various writings.
