Bernhard Streck

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernhard Streck (born September 19, 1945 in Mannheim ) taught as head of the Institute for Ethnology at the University of Leipzig between 1994 and 2010. He did research on the history of ethnology, the ethnology of Africa and the ethnology of religion. Streck's research on ciganology is controversial.

Life

Streck studied ethnology in Basel and Frankfurt am Main and worked as a research assistant at the Universities of Gießen, Berlin and Mainz ( Institute for Ethnology and African Studies ). After his habilitation in 1992, he worked as a university lecturer at the University of Heidelberg. In the course of the personnel and content realignment of the universities in the new federal states, he followed in 1994 as Professor Dietrich Treide in Leipzig. The focus was on the ethnology of religion , specialist history and ethnography of Northeast Africa.

With some students and postgraduates, Streck set up the "Forum Tsiganological Research" in Leipzig in the 1990s, which was dissolved after his retirement.

Streck has been a member of the Saxon Academy of Sciences since 2004 .

When a controversy arose in 2016 about the anti-Semitic writings of the Baden-Württemberg AfD member of the Bundestag Wolfgang Gedeon , Streck wrote a Gedeon exonerating opinion.

criticism

One focus Strecks in research and teaching formed the Tsiganologie ( " Gypsy customer ", " Gypsy Science "), a discipline, the racist resentment and Nazi ideas were thrown. In the 1990s, the Society for Threatened Peoples rated the tsiganology represented by Streck as racist. In 2014, Wolfgang Benz criticized Streck for the naturalization of solidified “Gypsy” resentments to collective characteristics and the national-ethnic approach as a wrong way.
