The project deals with the emergence of demography as an independent discipline between the 1890s and the 1950s. It aims to identify the various processes that paved the way for the institutionalisation of this emerging science by reconstructing the limits to and competition faced by the discipline of demography, which led a largely extra-mural existence up to the 1930s. The intention is to throw light on its cognitive, conceptual and methodological foundations as well as on the changes in thinking about population, in a nutshell on its dynamic shapings. Designed as a science history study operating at both a transnational and national comparative level, the project is conducted in the spirit of Latour's follow the actor and takes as its starting point the life and work of the economist, statistician and demographer, Robert René Kuczynski (1876-1947). From the 1920s his concept of the net reproduction rate made him a pioneer of the nascent demographies. Apart from their biographical relevance, Kuczynski s transnational and in some cases global networks provide diverse insights into the processes involved in shaping demographies in his time. The project comprises two independent studies which, taking Kuczynski as an example, investigate the shift in the dynamic networks of players and institutions in which population questions were tackled. The primary source of the studies is Robert René Kuczynski's estate in the Zentral- und Landesbibliothek Berlin, archived with the support of the German Research Foundation, which has valuable material relating to the issues addressed in the project. It is complemented with materials from various national and international archives.

该项目涉及 1890 年代至 1950 年代人口学作为一门独立学科的出现，旨在通过重建人口学学科的限制和面临的竞争，确定为这一新兴科学的制度化铺平道路的各种过程。直到 20 世纪 30 年代，它一直在很大程度上处于外部存在，其目的是阐明其认知、概念和方法论基础，以及人口思维的变化，简而言之。该项目旨在作为一项在跨国和国家比较层面上进行的科学史研究，本着拉图尔追随行动者的精神，并以经济学家、统计学家和人口学家的生活和工作为出发点，罗伯特·雷内·库琴斯基（Robert René Kuczynski，1876-1947）从 20 年代起，他的净生育率概念使他成为新兴人口统计学的先驱。库琴斯基的跨国网络，在某些情况下是全球网络，为他那个时代塑造人口的过程提供了不同的见解。该项目包括两项独立研究，以库琴斯基为例，调查了参与者和机构的动态网络的转变。这些研究的主要来源是罗伯特·雷内·库琴斯基 (Robert René Kuczynski) 位于柏林中央图书馆 (Zentral- und Landesbibliothek) 的遗产，该遗产是在德国研究基金会的支持下存档的，该基金会拥有与人口问题相关的宝贵材料。该项目中涉及的问题得到了来自各个国家和国际档案的材料的补充。
