About the Book

English summary: As a result of the outbreak of World War I, 'classical' phonographic field research came to be greatly limited. Rudolf Poch, Professor of Anthropology and Ethnography at the University of Vienna, however, realised that the war situation would prove 'an unprecedented opportunity for academic research'. Together with musicologist Robert Lach he exploited this opportunity in order to make extensive language and music recordings of 'almost all peoples of European and Asian Russia', especially in the prisoner-of-war camps at Eger (Cheb), Reichenberg (Liberec) and Theresienstadt (Terezin) in Bohemia (today's Czech Republic). This undertaking with its 200 or so resultant recordings formed part of a larger-scale project by the Anthropological Society, carried out with the financial support of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. Apart from providing evidence for numerous minority languages, these recordings - still housed in the Phonogrammarchiv - also contain hitherto unheard-of critical commentaries by the prisoners of war, who had become objects of research under such tragic circumstances. All this underlines the enormous potential of historical recordings as sources for present-day research. One hundred years after their creation, these sound documents, chiefly thanks to the project "Displaced Voices" (funded by the "Jubilaumsfonds der Oesterreichischen Nationalbank", project no. 15848), were digitised in the Phonogrammarchiv and edited in cooperation with international experts, who supplied scholarly commentaries. Besides the audio CDs with the signal-enhanced recordings, each sub-series of the edition comprises a data CD with scans of the original recording protocols (i.e. the written documentation), transcriptions for orientation as well as comprehensive information on the genesis of the recordings, the researchers and the historical background. In addition, commentaries analyse the significance of the historical recordings from today's point of view. This English-language publication thus constitutes an important contribution to the discourse of "research in wartime", throwing a new light on this dark era.

Zugleich jedoch erkannte Rudolf Poch, Professor fur Anthropologie und Ethnographie an der Universitat Wien, in der Kriegssituation "eine noch nie dagewesene (...) Gelegenheit fur die wissenschaftliche Forschung". Diese nutzte er gemeinsam mit dem Musikwissenschaftler Robert Lach, um vor allem in den k. u. k. Kriegsgefangenenlagern von Eger (Cheb), Reichenberg (Liberec) und Theresienstadt (Terezin) in Bohmen umfangreiche Sprach- und Musikaufnahmen "nahezu samtlicher Volkerschaften des europaischen und asiatischen Russland" zu machen. Die rund 200 Phonogramme entstanden im Kontext eines weiter reichenden Projekts der Anthropologischen Gesellschaft und mit finanzieller Unterstutzung durch die kaiserliche Akademie der Wissenschaften. Neben Zeugnissen zahlreicher Minderheitensprachen finden sich auf diesen noch heute im Phonogrammarchiv verwahrten Aufnahmen auch bisher unbekannte kritische Kommentare der unter tragischen Bedingungen beforschten Kriegsgefangenen. Dies unterstreicht das enorme Potential von historischen Tonaufnahmen als Quellen fur die heutige Forschung. Hundert Jahre nach ihrer Entstehung wurden die Aufnahmen - vor allem im Rahmen des Projekts "Displaced Voices" (gefordert vom Jubilaumsfonds der Oesterreichischen Nationalbank, Projekt Nr. 15848) - im Phonogrammarchiv digitalisiert und in Kooperation mit internationalen Fachleuten wissenschaftlich kommentiert. Die Edition umfasst neben den Audio-CDs mit den signalverbesserten Phonogrammaufnahmen jeweils eine Daten-CD mit Scans der originalen Aufnahmeprotokolle, Orientierungstranskriptionen sowie umfangreichen Informationen uber das Zustandekommen der Aufnahmen, die Forscher und den wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Hintergrund. Ausserdem erlautern Kommentare den Stellenwert der historischen Aufnahmen aus heutiger Sicht. Die englischsprachige Publikation bildet somit einen wichtigen Beitrag im Diskurs zu "Forschung im Krieg" und wirft ein neues Licht auf diese dunkle Zeit.
