This contribution emphasizes the production context and cycles, as well as the epistemic role and functions, of the research film The Ethology of the Greylag Goose (Die Ethologie der Graugans), by the ethologist Konrad Lorenz, and focuses on the changing epistemic practices of animal observation in research films, intertwining Lorenz’s academic career and public role, as well as the reception of his film. The Ethology of the Greylag Goose can be understood as fundamental in establishing ethology as a new and innovative discipline and in promoting Lorenz’s public image and his specific ethological approach, as well as shifting the idea of a unique subject–object relation toward a redistribution of roles and epistemic practices in various reuse settings.
