Throughout the nineteenth century, social expressions and dynamics have been reflected in the surge of various printed products. The contributors analyze a diverse range of sources, such as caricatures, journalistic reports, travelogues, scholarly volumes, social novels, and fairytale collections, viewing them as early manifestations of social knowledge and ethnographic representation situated at the confluence of ›popular‹ and ›scientific‹ publishing. Their comprehensive exploration unveils alternative contexts and dimensions of early ethnographic knowledge production, providing insights into a history of social knowledge that surpasses disciplinary, national, and genre-related boundaries.

»Dem Band [gelingt es] überzeugend, einen zentralen Punkt zu vermitteln: Ethnografie und Volkskunde erscheinen hier nicht nur als bloße Disziplinen, sondern auch durch ihre Publikationsformate geprägt. Das Buch legt überzeugend nahe, dass Wissen über das Soziale stets vermittelt ist und durch die Art und Weise strukturiert wird, wie es geschrieben, verbreitet und gelesen wird.«
