TRAFFICKING "OTHER PEOPLE’S BODIES" IN THE SERVICE OF GERMAN ANTHROPOLOGY
Keywords:

This paper deals with the connections between trafficking human bodies, that is, human body parts and German anthropology in the late XIX and early XX century. Special attention was paid to the displaying of humans in ethnographic exhibitions, to the cravings of anthropologists for the objective knowledge about them and to the need of wide audience to see exotic bodies. Some historians of German anthropology recognize the continuity between such "antihumanism" reflected in denying the subjectivity in the objects of anthropological researches at the turn of the century, the conduct of anthropologists towards the prisoners of war in World War I and the role of anthropology and its sister disciplines in World War II. This kind of perspective encourages the research of the German anthropological tradition within the postcolonial studies in a global context and also refers to the reexamination of the "German" basis of the national anthropology and archeology.
