Paper long abstract:
The concept of European Ethnology as a field of research was, from the beginning, linked with utopian ideas about Europe. This talk will present and discuss this connection in terms of a chronology which is central for the field as well as the continent (1930s, 50s, 70s, and 90s), and then explore the question of what utopias European Ethnology still has in the present day.
