The volume provides new insights into the development of ethnology in the GDR from 1945 to the 1980s. This was significantly shaped by the attempt to conceptualize the previously separate disciplines of "Völkerkunde" (Cultural Anthropology) and "Volkskunde" (Folklore Studies) as "Ethnography." The independent GDR ethnology developed in contrast, and in some respects as a counterpoint, to the evolution of the discipline in the FRG (Federal Republic of Germany). Although both German states were rooted in a shared intellectual history, the developments in the field had increasingly diverged since the early 1950s. However, the starting point was common: in 1945, "Völkerkunde" had fundamentally discredited itself due to its entanglement with Nazi racial doctrine. The volume gathers source-based and context-oriented works by authors from both domestic and international backgrounds, contributing in diverse ways to the understanding of "Ethnology as Ethnography" in the GDR, its interdisciplinary contexts, and global historical references. In doing so, it also expands knowledge about ethnology in the German-speaking world as a whole.
