Recenzii
This ambitious and wide-ranging volume breaks new ground by bringing the study of Austrian art, music, architecture, and design - into dialogue with questions of politics, nationalism, and national identity from the Habsburg empire through the Nazi period and beyond. Its essays brilliantly reveal the intricate intertwining of Austrian modernisms with visions of Austrian nationhood across five regimes.
There is still much to discover when it comes to Austrian history, from the late Habsburgs and all the formative years in between to the Second Republic. Elana Shapira's anthology offers an impressive collection of essays and is a welcome contribution to ongoing debates about modernity and identity in Austria, including reflections on the role of Jews and coming to terms with the Nazi past. Bringing together a group of experts from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, it is sure to be read by scholars and the interested public alike.
Austrian identity is still being emotionally debated and politically instrumentalized. Austrian Identity and Modernity provides an impressive overview of the various struggles for Austrian identities from the late 19th century to the present, focusing on art, architecture, film and music in a national as well as global political context.
Drawing on the latest research, the volume sheds exciting and often surprising light on the changes in Austrian identities in the wake of historical upheavals and how cultural modernity shaped these changes and was shaped by them.
