About Johannes Falkenberg
- Johannes Falkenberg (1 April 1911 in Oslo - June 3, 2004, same place) was a Norwegian social anthropologist. Falkenberg was linked to the University of Oslos ethnographic museum the most of his life, where he was a curator in ethnographic from 1953.
- Falkenberg studied at the University of Oslo and took "Geography with ethnographic" under professor Ole Solberg.
- Due to his education he travelled to inner Laksefjord in 1938, where he performed examinations of Sami settlements.
- That resulted in the dissertation "Settlements along the inner Laksefjord in Finnmark" (1941). As a reserve officer he came into captivity in Germany, which, via a coprisoner from the Australian "outback" resulted in a fascination to the indigenous people, so Falkenberg decided that he wanted to do research among the natives in Australia.
- He became a curator at the ethnographic museum by his homecoming in 1945, and wrote the book "Et steinalderfolk i vår tid" in 1948.
- Falkenberg then chose the Murinbata people in Port Keats in North Australia for his field research in 1950.
- This resulted in a solid study who Claude Lévi-Strauss himself quoted from.
