This dissertation examines popular anthropology during the second half of the nineteenth century until the outbreak of the First World War and seeks to understand the social and cultural meanings of this process in Germany. It situates Volkerkunde as a social practice that occurred within the global politics of imperialism and thus explores the multiple contexts and methods in which anthropological knowledge was accessible to the public. Focusing on the individuals who were most pervasive in dissemination efforts, namely professional and armchair scientists, colonial propagandists, missionaries, and commercial entrepreneurs, this work attempts to reconstruct the motives and sociocultural world of its popularizers who authored anthropological concepts and images for presentation in popular culture. This study examines the presentation of popularized images of Volkerkunde in their most prevalent form---in the Volkerschauen, or commercial ethnographic exhibitions of people that were featured in colonial and industrial fairs, panoptica, and zoological gardens. An examination of this sphere hiahliglits the manner in which show organizers, cultural performers, and spectators contributed to the phenomenon of popular anthropology.

520 $a The ambiguities between "author" and "subject," edification and entertainment, and scientific practice and commercialism of this genre of public presentation make it a valuable cultural domain in which to uncover contemporary attitudes about the "self," the "Other," and society during the age of imperialism and modernity. In the debates that emerged around this site of leisure and learning, deeper cultural concerns about German society and "civilization" emerged. An analysis of the criticism of the spectators exposes the manner in which the lines demarcating the traditional middle classes from the "new middle classes" ( neuer Mittelstand) and workers blurred. This study suggests that the site of popular anthropology served as an arena in which concerns about class and group integrity emerged as conflicted issues. The sense of crisis that emerged around the issue of spectatorial Schaulust (the voyeuristic and ogling gaze of the consumer) and middle-class perceptions of the disintegration of a specifically bourgeois gaze exposes the contradictions and fragmented experience that scholars have come to call modernity.
