4. Johan Adrian Jacobsen, Ethnic Shows, and the Hagenbeck Company
Year: 2025
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: Johan Adrian Jacobsen’s professional life was linked to the Hagenbeck company for a long period of time, mostly but not exclusively in his role as a recruiter and impresario of ethnic shows. In line with Carl Hagenbeck’s business philosophy, but also due to his repeated work as a collector for the Ethnological Museum Berlin, Jacobsen strove to meet academic as well as show business demands in his career, thus oscillating in his activities between two different target groups.
