Most attempts at periodization locate the be- ginnings of the discipline among Enlightenment philosophers, travelers, and missionaries, and then proceed to a phase in the nineteenth century char- acterized by the paradigm of natural history, moving toward evolutionary theory. It is also the phase of anthropology’s increasing institutionalization, primarily in learned societies and museums. Th is continues up to 1914 —and there the narrative tends to break off , picking up again in the interwar period. Very little has been said about what exactly was happening in the fi eld of anthropology from 1914 to 1919. It is as if historians have assumed that the entire fi eld had taken a break during that time, for one of several reasons: Some of its practitioners were forced to remain outside Europe for a time, as in the case of many who were at the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Melbourne in August of 1914, when World War I broke out. Some served on the battlefi eld—and some of them perished there. Th e rest, it is assumed, simply “lay low,” lecturing to the diminished numbers of students at the universities and managing their museums with ever-decreasing funds. Indeed, to a certain extent, this was the scenario in much of Europe during these years. More importantly, the beginning of the interwar period has also seemed an opportune place for historians to defi ne a new phase in anthropology, because of the enormous infl uence of Bronislaw Malinowski’s publication of Argonauts of the Western Pacifi c in 1922. His work, together with A. R. Radcliff e-Brown’s Th e Andaman Islanders published in the same year, are viewed as marking the decisive turn away from the paradigms of the nineteenth century, a turn away from speculative histories of humankind and toward a functionalist analysis of present-day 9 Monique Scheer, Christian Marchetti, and Reinhard Johler societies. World War I, as an event, provides a clear break to this narrative in intellectual history revolving around the (arguably dominant) British tradi- tion because before 1914 anthropology was an armchair discipline; aft er the war, it never would be again. Of course, this is a very general and perhaps somewhat unfair characteriza- tion of the historiography of anthropology, which has also been at great pains to explode the myths and to complicate the overly simple narratives which the fi eld has cultivated over the last century and to present more nuanced ac- counts.1 Th e present collection represents another contribution to this eff ort, one that seeks to address the rupture created by World War I by asking if it was, in fact, such a clear break outside the sphere dominated by British anthro- pology and, if so, whether it was the same kind of break everywhere in Europe. Th e contributions to this volume all take a close look at what anthropologists did during the years 1914–1919 in a broad range of European countries, from Great Britain to Czarist Russia. Th e book’s most intensive focus is on the area in which the (arguably) second-most dominant tradition of anthropology was at home: the German and Austro-Hungarian Empires. In these countries, it will be shown, there was indeed quite a bit of anthropological work taking place, not only in spite of the privations of wartime, but oft en within a frame- work the war itself had made possible. Armed interventions that were connected with Europe’s military and eco- nomic domination of the non-European world is one arena in which to measure the impact of military confl ict on the scientifi c practice of anthropology. Th is relationship between colonialism and the cultural sciences is a topic which has received much scholarly attention in recent years,2 with civil administrative 1 See Henrika Kuklick, ed., A New History of Anthropology (Oxford: Blackwell, 2008); Fredrik Barth, Andre Gingrich, Robert Parkin, and Sydel Silverman, One Discipline, Four Ways: British, German, French, and American Anthropology; The Halle Lectures (Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press, 2005).

    CULTURE REPORT EUNIC YEARBOOK 2011 CULTURE REPORT EUNIC YEARBOOK 2011 Cultural relations are the glue that holds alliances together. The geopolitics of the 21st century mean we need to see a revival of cultural diplomacy. China and India are already expanding their external cultural policies. Despite Europe‘s huge cultural diversity, the EU has still not developed an adequate cultural strategy for its foreign policy. The establishment of the European External Action Service (EEAS) provides an opportunity to tighten up and co-ordinate the EU‘s existing cultural foreign policy. In this edition of the Culture Report, 30 authors from 20 different countries examine what this all means.

  • Adolph Goldschmidt Im Jahre 1912 – Lehrer, Organisator, Netzwerker
    Claudia Rückert Adolph Goldschmidt im Jahre 1912 – Lehrer, Organisator, Netzwerker Die Berufung Adolph Goldschmidts im Jahre 1912 als Nachfolger Wölfflins an die Friedrich- Wilhelms-Universität mag aus heutiger Sicht erstaunen, assoziiert man doch – in der gegenwär- tigen Wahrnehmung unseres Fachs – Goldschmidt eher mit einem wenig visionären Gelehrten, der zudem Wölfflin kritisch gegenüber gestanden haben soll.1 Im Gegensatz zu diesem Ein- druck stehen indes die besondere Bedeutung des Berliner Kunstgeschichtsordinariats2 in der Preußischen Hochschullandschaft sowie Goldschmidts hohes Ansehen, innerhalb wie außer- halb akademischer Kreise, das weit über seine Emeritierung im Herbst 1929 hinaus anhielt. Absicht ist es im Folgenden nicht, Goldschmidts Berliner Ordinariat umfassend darzustel- len. Im Fokus des Beitrags stehen vielmehr die Motive, die 1912 zur Berufung Goldschmidts nach Berlin geführt haben. Obwohl man an dieser Stelle nicht mit neuen Fakten aufwarten kann, so lassen sich dennoch die Gründe für diese Entscheidung konkreter fassen. Manches erschließt sich allerdings erst, berücksichtigt man neben der Goldschmidt’schen Vita auch die oben ange- sprochene Wahrnehmungsverschiebung, weshalb diese zunächst thematisiert werden soll. »War Wölfflin der bewundertste Kunsthistoriker seiner Zeit, so Goldschmidt der gelieb- teste«, schreibt Alfred Neumeyer 1967 in seinen Memoiren.3 Für die Wahrnehmung der beiden Kunsthistoriker ist Neumeyers Einschätzung gleichsam repräsentativ, gilt doch bis heute Wölfflin als geistreicher Theoretiker und Redner, Goldschmidt hingegen als verehrter Lehrer und Positivist.4 Goldschmidt hat sich in der Tat nie im großen Stil der Kunsttheorie oder epo- Gedankt sei herzlich Julien Lehmann für die Recherchen im Universitätsarchiv und Romina Nowack für die unent- behrliche Unterstützung. 1 Betthausen 1999, S. 126. – Dass Goldschmidts Forschungen »langweilig« gewesen seien, wurde auf der Tagung auch in einem Diskussionsbeitrag geäußert.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Beyond Intellectual Insularity: Multicultural Literacy As a Measure of Respect
    Beyond Intellectual Insularity: Multicultural Literacy as a Measure of Respect Lisa Taylor Bishops University Michael Hoechsmann McGill University Authors’ Note For their support of this research we are deeply indebted to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, Bishop’s University, and our participating school boards, schools, teachers, and students. Note des auteurs Pour leur soutien à cette recherche, nous sommes profondément reconnaissants au Conseil de recherche en sciences humaines du Canada, à la Fondation canadienne des relations raciales, à l'Université Bishop's, et aux conseils scolaires qui ont participé ainsi qu'aux écoles, aux enseignants et aux étudiants. Abstract We report on a national survey (942 secondary students, 10 school boards, 5 provinces) that measures what young people know about the histories and the intellectual, political, and cultural legacies of racialized peoples, globally and nationally, and where they learned it (school, media, family, community). Intended as a contribution to, and challenge of, existing frameworks for multicultural education, the research demonstrates the importance of in and out of school learning, and how the various sites of learning resonate differently for particular groups of young people. It demonstrates the key role schools can play for different youth in building, or augmenting, a consistent, common knowledge base. Résumé Nous faisons le rapport d'une enquête nationale (942 élèves du secondaire, 10 conseils scolaires, 5 provinces) qui mesure la connaissance des jeunes, de l'histoire et de l'héritage intellectuel, politique et culturelle des peuples racialisés, mondialement et nationalement, et où ils l'ont appris (l'école, les médias, la famille, la communauté).

  • Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution
    Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution Introduction In his poem, The Second Coming (1919), William Butler Yeats captured the moment we are now experiencing: Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. As we see the deterioration of the institutions created and fostered after the Second World War to create a climate in which peace and prosperity could flourish in Europe and beyond, it is important to understand the role played by diplomacy in securing the stability and strengthening the shared values of freedom and democracy that have marked this era for the nations of the world. It is most instructive to read the Inaugural Address of President John F. Kennedy, in which he encouraged Americans not only to do good things for their own country, but to do good things in the world. The creation of the Peace Corps is an example of the kind of spirit that put young American volunteers into some of the poorest nations in an effort to improve the standard of living for people around the globe. We knew we were leaders; we knew that we had many political and economic and social advantages. There was an impetus to share this wealth. Generosity, not greed, was the motivation of that generation. Of course, this did not begin with Kennedy. It was preceded by the Marshall Plan, one of the only times in history that the conqueror decided to rebuild the country of the vanquished foe.
