This thinker's biographer Janheinz Janz dubbed him the "Demonic Child."
This thinker's biographer Janheinz Janz dubbed him the "Demonic Child." Otto Rank was inspired by this man's book, in which he describes the "Fanany burial ritual" during which the Betsileo people squeeze putrefied liquid from the feet of dead bodies and catch it in a jar. Ezra Pound co-opted a word coined by this man, "paideuma," which was expanded by his student Adolf Jensen to refer to the idea of culture as a gestalt organism. Douglas Fox translated tales discovered by this man, whose claims to have found Atlantis appear in his book The Voice of Africa. At his death in 1938, the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University re-named the oldest anthropological institute in Germany in this man's honor. For 10 points, name this German archaeologist who amassed a huge collection of African art, and compiled the epic now known as "Gassire's Lute."
