Ethnologie

Exploring cultural diversity is a central focus of ethnology. Twenty-five authors from institutions in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland provide insights into the field, its content, and theoretical perspectives. The contributions cover a wide range of topics: fundamental theories and methods; subfields such as economic or kinship ethnology; and themes like media ethnology, urban ethnology, and development ethnology. This is based on the established volume "Ethnology: Introduction and Overview." The book is an important foundational work for students and anyone interested in ethnology who wants to understand the areas of work, theoretical approaches, and results of the discipline.
