  • Anthropological Regionalism at the American Museum of Natural History, 1895–1945
    52 Ira Jacknis: ‘America Is Our Field’: Anthropological Regionalism at the American Museum of Natural History, 1895–1945 ‘America Is Our Field’: Anthropological Regionalism at the American Museum of Natural History, 1895–1945 *Ira Jacknis Abstract This article outlines the regional interests and emphases in anthropological collection, research, and display at the American Museum of Natural History, during the first half of the twentieth century. While all parts of the world were eventually represented in the museum’s collections, they came from radically different sources at different times, and for different reasons. Despite his identity as an Americanist, Franz Boas demonstrated a much more ambitious interest in world-wide collecting, especially in East Asia. During the post-Boasian years, after 1905, the Anthropology Department largely continued an Americanist emphasis, but increasingly the museum’s administration encouraged extensive collecting and exhibition for the Old World cultures. For the most part, these collections and exhibits diverged from anthropological concerns, expressing imperialist messages, biological documentation, or artistic display. In thus constituting the ‘stuff’ of an anthropology museum, one can trace the transvaluation of objects, the importance of networks, institutional competition, and the role of disciplinary definitions. Keywords: museum, anthropology, collecting, exhibition, culture areas, American Museum of Natural History Almost by definition, the great metropolitan natural history museums were founded on a problematic relationship to a distant ‘field.’ Wandering through their halls, the visitor is confronted by cultures that are usually far away in space and time.1 As they were developed in the nineteenth century, these natural history museums, parallel to the art museums (Duncan and Wallach 1980), adopted Enlightenment schemes of universal survey.

  • Berthold Laufer 1874–1934 Anthropologist, Sinologist, Curator, and Collector
    Berthold Laufer 1874–1934 Anthropologist, Sinologist, Curator, and Collector Berthold Laufer, one of the most accomplished sinologists of the early twentieth century, was born in Cologne, Germany, to Max Laufer and his wife, Eugenie (neé Schlesinger). He was educated at the Friedrich Wilhelms Gymnasium in Cologne and attended Berlin University (1893–95) before he received his doctorate from the University of Leipzig in 1897. During his training he studied a range of Asian languages and cultures, from Persian and Sanskrit to Tibetan and Chinese. At the suggestion of anthropologist Franz Boas (1858–1942), Laufer accepted a position at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City in 1898, from where he joined the Jesup North Pacific Expedition (1898–99) to Siberia, Alaska, and the northwest coast of Canada as an ethnographer. He led his first collecting expedition to China for the museum from 1901 to 1904. In 1908 Laufer moved to Chicago, Illinois, and worked at the Field Museum of Natural History, where he ultimately headed the Department of Anthropology. Laufer remained at the Field for the rest of his career. He led two more expeditions to China—the Blackstone Expedition of 1908–10 and the Marshall Field Expedition of 1923—and consequently formed one of the earliest comprehensive collections of Chinese material culture in the United States. During his first expedition, Laufer acquired more than 19,000 archaeological, ethnographic, and historical objects that span the period from 6000 BCE to 1890 CE. He collected an additional 1,800 objects during the 1923 expedition. Laufer also compiled extensive field reports, took photographs during these trips, and engaged in detailed correspondence with other specialists about his movements, contacts, and purchases.

Hence, we know very little about him personally. He is the most enigmatic of the major figures in the history of Field Museum anthropology.' He started early. Born in 1874 in Cologne, Ger- many, to a middle-class Jewish family,- he proved to be a precocious, brilliant student. He entered the University of Berlin in 1893 and received his doctorate at the University of Leipzig in 1897. He concentrated on Asian languages, studying Se- mitic, Persian, Sanskrit, Malay, Chinese. Japa- nese, Manchu, Mongolian, Dravidian. and Tibet- an. It may be that his necessarily brief studies gave him only moderate familiarity with many of these, but by 1897 he had acquired a fluent read- ing knowledge of Chinese, Japanese, Manchu, Mongolian, and Tibetan as well as most European languages, including Russian. He could speak many of these, too, and could write well in French and English as well as German. He was 23 years old when he finished at Leipzig.

SPENCER Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1987 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. LESLIE SPIER December 13, 1893—December 3, 1961 BY ROBERT F. SPENCER QUARTER CENTURY has gone by since Leslie Spier's A death. Yet he remains a major figure in American an- thropology: references to his scholarship are widely made, and his influence is still strongly felt. However hesitantly, I cannot help but begin this memoir with a personal note. In preparing to write this summary, I went of course to the various sources of information on Spier—not only the professional obituary appearing shortly after his passing1 but also to the lecture notes I had taken as a student in his courses at the University of New Mexico in 1939—40. A second-year graduate student in anthropology, I had enrolled in his course, "Culture Provinces of Western North America." I recall the rather anxious discussions, re- flecting then as now graduate student paranoia, attempts to grasp precisely what it was that Spier was expounding. House types, cradle boards, clothing and footgear, containers, trans- port, and so through a host of highly factual listings of the elements—material, social, and religious—that make up the cultural systems of western native American peoples. What were we, as students, expected to do with such detail? Was it 1 Harry W.

  • (Re)Presenting Geopolitical and National Identities and at the Same Time, Demonstrating the Fluidity and Contestations of These Constructs1
    In my recent curatorial work, archives play a central role in (re)presenting geopolitical and national identities and at the same time, demonstrating the fluidity and contestations of these constructs1. I experience archives as conflicted sites and my interest, therefore, has been in exploring their inherent anomalies and impressions and in building contemporary narratives out of their historical slippages and indexical absences. In other words, my work attends to what the archives, either willfully or unconsciously, have mis- represented or have failed to address in their content and descriptions. This paper presents a case study that tries to illustrate how porous the bond is between two different epistemological regimes: the emphasis that is placed on visuality in terms of the art historical collections, and the act of labeling by the archive. In order to show this, I will touch upon collections representing two sculptors, Malvina Hoffman (1885–1966) and Sergey Merkurov (1881–1952) who both passed through the studio of Auguste Rodin (1840–1917). I came to this case study through my findings in the archival collection of American sculptor Malvina Hoffman. Housed at the Getty Research Institute (GRI),2 this archive is well-researched due to her body of work produced in the early 1930s for the Hall of the Races of Mankind exhibition3 (1933) at The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.4 The Museum, under the 1 This text was initially written as part of the 2017 Getty Consortium Seminar “Art and Anthropology: The Agency of Objects,” led by Professor Susan Dackerman.

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XVIII - THIKD MEMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF BERTHOLD LAUFER 1874-1934 BY K. S. LATOURETTE PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE AUTUMN MEETING, 1936 BERTHOLD LAUFER 1874-1934 BY K. S. LATOURETTE Berthold Laufer (Oct. II, 1874-Sept. 13, 1934) spent most of the years of his maturity in the United States. He was, however, German-reared and educated and to the end preserved many of the attitudes and habits of the European savant. In him Europe made one of its most distinguished gifts to Amer- ican scholarship. He was born in Cologne, the son of Max and Eugenie (Schlesinger) Laufer. His parents were wealthy and gave him every advantage of education and culture. A brother, Dr. Heinrich Laufer (died July 10, 1935), was an honored physician and for many years practised his profession in Cairo, Egypt. As a child Berthold Laufer was much interested in dra- matics, especially in marionettes. He and his brothers and sisters presented complete plays, all of them original. He him- self wrote a number of them and they were usually given on his father's and mother's birthdays. He once cherished dreams of becoming a dramatist and throughout his life was an ardent admirer of Shakespeare. For years he studied music, especially the piano. He had a passion for the great masters and for the opera. Beethoven, Mozart, and Liszt were his favorites. His father wished him to become a lawyer or a physician and predicted failure for him in his chosen profession of archeology.
