Abstract

Dieses Buch erkundet die Idee und Praxis der nicht-territorialen Autonomie, einem auf Kollektivrechten basierenden Konzept, um mit nationaler Vielfalt innerhalb eines Staates umzugehen. Es untersucht die Entwicklungsstränge und Transferprozesse in der Habsburgermonarchie und in Russland, und verknüpft diese mit Prozessen in der Zwischenkriegszeit. Nicht-territoriale Autonomie erwies sich dabei als flexibles Instrument, das sich an unterschiedliche politische und ideologische Rahmenbedingungen anpassen konnte. This book explores the practice of non-territorial autonomy, a concept based on collective rights and used to address national diversity within a single state. It examines its strands of development and the processes of transfer in the Habsburg monarchy and Russia, connecting them to processes in the interwar period. The flexible instrument was able to adapt to different political and ideological frameworks.

Abstract

The volume presents a Jewish family history written by Charlotte Weisl in 1931/32, dating back to the 17th century. The journey begins in small Bohemian rural communities and district towns and finally leads via Prague to Vienna, where the meeting with Zionism personified by Theodor Herzl begins a new phase. The First World War and the already emerging entry into the "age of Hitler" are the further drastic political events.

Abstract

Towards the end of the 20th century the Italian literature created outside Italy finally started to receive proper attention, because research began to focus on the socio-cultural analysis of the different forms of internal and external postcolonialism. As a result, both imperialism and nationalism are seen as responsible for phenomena of cultural alienation in many territories outside as well as inside the national borders of the country and are exposed as ideological constructs. Nevertheless research still neglects the one undoubtedly outstanding region in the production of Italian literature outside Italy, ie Austria, more precisely the territories of the Habsburg Monarchy, where for nearly 500 years - from early Humanism to the First World War - the tradition was the richest in quantity as well as in quality. This first part of a comprehensive history of the Italian literature created in Austria for an Austrian public has been written with the intention of filling this gap. The unique position the Italian language held at Vienna's imperial court at least from the middle of the 17th to the middle of the 18th century is well known: Italian was not only an official language for the purpose of representation, it also served as a vehicle of cultural communication in the inner circle of the imperial family. The numerous political connections between the House of Habsburg and the ruling Italian dynasties are a major reason for the manifold cultural transfers between the Austrian territories and the Italian States. The great number of strategic marriages led to intense cultural as well as economical relations, which obviously did result in occasional implications in territorial conflicts and in military alliances not always favorable to the mutual understanding. As a consequence of the above mentioned economical and dynastical connections the Habsburgs often intervened politically in Italy, first in the Early Modern Period, especially during the reigns of Charles V and Ferdinand I. Two centuries later, the Habsburg administration of the Kingdom of Naples ( 1707-1734) as well as of Lombardy during most of the 18th century (1714-1797) was decisive for the continuation of those interchanges, which ended however, when the Italian movement of unification began to create a totally new situation. Humanism, baroque and enlightenment, three currents which are amply discussed in the present volume, could more easily expand from Italy to Austria because of the before described dynastical connections and they established themselves still deeper because of the immigration or the long stays of Italian authors in the cultural centers of the Austrian monarchy, first of all of course in Vienna. Not surprisingly however, we possess so far only an inadequate and unsystematic documentation of the activities and literary productions of the great majority of those authors: As is well known, the 19th century created a nationalistic base for literary studies, a view which still for a long time influenced the 20th century for a long time. The Italian authors working and publishing in Austria did so in their own language, but in a foreign country and for a foreign sovereign.

Abstract

The well-respected historian Manfried Rauchensteiner analyses the outbreak of World War I, Emperor Franz Joseph’s role in the conflict, and how the various nationalities of the Habsburg Monarchy reacted to the disintegration of this 640-yearold empire in 1918. After Archduke Franz Ferdinand"s assassination in Sarajevo in 1914, war was inevitable. Emperor Franz Joseph intended it, and everyone in Vienna expected it. How the war began and how Austria-Hungary managed to avoid capitulation only weeks later with the help of German troops reads like a thriller. Manfried Rauchensteiner"s book is based on decades of research and is a fascinating read to the very end, even though the final outcome, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy, is already known. Originally published in German in 2013 by Böhlau, this standard work is now available in English. The origins of World War I were different and varied. But it was Austria-Hungary which unleashed the war. After more than four years the Habsburg Monarchy was defeated and ended as a failed state. Die Ursachen des Ersten Weltkriegs sind vielfältig. Die Entfesselung des Kriegs geschah jedoch durch Österreich-Ungarn. Nach mehr als vier Jahren zerfiel die Habsburgermonarchie als Folge innerer Auflösung und der militärischen Niederlage.

Abstract

About the ideas and policies that characterized the rightward trajectory of Austrofascism in the 1930's, this study provides a fresh perspective on the debate. Thorpe argues for a transnational approach to fascism in Austria and situates the case studies within a broader context of Italian and German fascism.
