Ever since Plutarch and Sueton composed their vitae of the greats of classical antiquity, to the medieval obsession with the hagiographies of holy men (and a few women) and saints, Vasari’s lives of great Renaissance artists, down to the French encyclopedists, Dr. Johnson and Lytton Strachey, as well as Ranke and Droysen the genre of biographical writing (“the representation of self ” or “the reconstruction of a human life”) has become increasingly more refined. In the twentieth century male predominance has become contested and the (collective) lives of women, minorities and ordinary people are now the focus of biographical writing. The writing of lives (or lives and their times) are always situated between fact and fiction, ascertainable data and the imagination of the biographer. Leon Edel, the great American biographer of Henry James and theorist of biography, insisted that a biographer must explore and immerse him/herself in the thinking and subconscious of his subject but also know him/herself. More recent postmodern theorists such as Ira Bruce Nadel focus on the narrative technique of biographical writing.1 The genre of biography has become so popular with the reading public that it is now applied to the lives of cities and entire nations.2 Biographical writing is not a forte of the historical profession in Austria. The reasons for this are manifold. Careers at the university level are made as quasi-“apprenticeships”; aspiring young scholars often pursue the latest methodological fashions and approaches in the historical sciences (next to serving the predilections and whims of mentors). Professors and the young 1. See the splendid Handbuch Biographie: Methoden, Traditionen, Theorien, ed. Christian Klein (Suttgart: J.B. Metzler, 2009) (citations 1-6, 326). 2. Simon Sebag Montefiori, Jerusalem: The Biography (New York: Knopf, 2011); Hank Heifetz and Enrique Krauze, Mexico: Biography of a Power (New York: Harper, 1998). x charges in their seminars rushed from innovations in quantitative social history in the 1960s/1970s, to the fascination with gender studies in the 1980s, to the history and memory fad in the 1990s, on to the cultural studies boom more recently. “Great men” were a negative role model through all of these historical trends. It may also be that the book market is not big enough in Austria to support independent scholars interested in writing the literate portraits of leading figures in the Austrian universe. It is astounding that some the more intriguing political figures of the two Austrian Republics (and the National Socialist past in between) have not found biographers yet. We have academic biographies of Ignaz Seipel and now of Otto Bauer3, but no adequate scholarly biographies of Engelbert Dollfuß and Kurt Schuschnigg4; nor have all the “founding fathers” of the Second Republic attracted the attention of academic biographers. Leopold Figl, Julius Raab, Karl Renner, and Theodor Körner have not been the subject of abiding scholarly biographic attention5, Adolf Schärf and Bruno Kreisky have.6 The rest of the chancellors of the Second Republic cry out for biographic attention, not to speak of their many ministers and party elites—the political figures operating in the parliamentary arena or the battle ground of party politics. The same is true for economic tycoons and intellectual and artistic leaders. When I raised the issue of a lacunae of biographical writing among historians during the first AustrianZeitgeschichtetag (Contemporary History Meeting) in Innsbruck in the spring of 1994, the response was tepid and yawning disinterest. Across the border in Germany the interest of the reading public in biographical writing is much bigger and academia allows career paths based on writing the lives of great men and women. In fact, ever since Lothar 3. Ernst Hanisch, Der große Illusionist:

  • From the History of Polish-Austrian Diplomacy in the 1970S
    PRZEGLĄD ZACHODNI I, 2017 AGNIESZKA KISZTELIŃSKA-WĘGRZYŃSKA Łódź FROM THE HISTORY OF POLISH-AUSTRIAN DIPLOMACY IN THE 1970S. AUSTRIAN CHANCELLOR BRUNO KREISKY’S VISITS TO POLAND Polish-Austrian relations after World War II developed in an atmosphere of mutu- al interest and restrained political support. During the Cold War, the Polish People’s Republic and the Republic of Austria were on the opposite sides of the Iron Curtain; however, after 1945 both countries sought mutual recognition and trade cooperation. For more than 10 years following the establishment of diplomatic relations between Austria and Poland, there had been no meetings at the highest level.1 The first con- tact took place when the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Kreisky, came on a visit to Warsaw on 1-3 March 1960.2 Later on, Kreisky visited Poland four times as Chancellor of Austria: in June 1973, in late January/early February 1975, in Sep- tember 1976, and in November 1979. While discussing the significance of those five visits, it is worth reflecting on the role of Austria in the diplomatic activity of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). The views on the motives of the Austrian politician’s actions and on Austria’s foreign policy towards Poland come from the MFA archives from 1972-1980. The time period covered in this study matches the schedule of the Chancellor’s visits. The activity of the Polish diplomacy in the Communist period (1945-1989) has been addressed as a research topic in several publications on Polish history. How- ever, as Andrzej Paczkowski says in the sixth volume of Historia dyplomacji polskiej (A history of Polish diplomacy), research on this topic is still in its infancy.3 A wide range of source materials that need to be thoroughly reviewed offer a number of 1 Stosunki dyplomatyczne Polski, Informator, vol.

  • Austria's Presidential Election Is Set to Be Another Vote Dominated by The
    Austria’s presidential election is set to be another vote dominated by the issue of immigration blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2016/03/01/austrias-presidential-election-is-set-to-be-another-vote-dominated-by-the-issue-of-immigration/ 3/1/2016 Austria will hold a presidential election on 24 April, with a run off scheduled for 22 May if no candidate manages to win an absolute majority in the first vote. Emmanuel Sigalas states that while the post itself is largely ceremonial, the election will be a key test of the relative standing of each of the main parties. He writes that the contest is likely to be dominated by the issue of the migration crisis and the creeping influence of the Freedom Party of Austria’s (FPÖ) anti-immigration platform over the Austrian government. On 24 April, young (the voting age is 16) and old Austrians alike will cast their ballot, in person or by post, for the new President of the Republic. She, or most likely he, will replace the incumbent President Heinz Fischer, who will have served two terms in office (i.e. twelve years). By more or less general accord, Fischer has been regarded as a good President. He has fulfilled his predominantly symbolic duties (embodying and promoting national unity and interests) well. His name has not been associated with any scandals, and even if he is not the most charismatic political leader in the country’s history, he has undoubtedly proved to be simpatico. Of course, when Fischer was first elected in 2004 the context was completely different.

  • Der Erfolg Der FPÖ: Österreichs Parteien- Und Regierungssystem Unter Druck
    Matthias Belafi Der Erfolg der FPÖ: Österreichs Parteien- und Regierungssystem unter Druck Bei der letzten Nationalratswahl in Österreich am 29. September 2013 konnten SPÖ und ÖVP nur noch ganz knapp über 50 % der Stimmen auf sich vereinen, so dass die Neuauflage der »Großen Koalition« nur noch als »MiGroKo« (für: mittelgroße Koali- tion) bezeichnet wurde und als letzte Chance für die beiden Parteien galt.1 Seitdem war die Regierung beinahe schon gelähmt aus Angst vor Neuwahlen, weil davon auszuge- hen war, dass die FPÖ als stärkste Kraft daraus hervorgehen und den nächsten Kanzler stellen werde. Bestätigt wurde diese Sorge durch die Bundespräsidentenwahl im Jahr 2016, die unterstrich, in welcher schwierigen Situation sich die beiden Regierungspar- teien befanden. Im ersten Wahlgang am 24. April gab es ein Kopf-an-Kopf-Rennen der Kandidaten von SPÖ und ÖVP, das erst nach der Auszählung der Briefwahlstimmen entschieden wurde. Dieses enge Rennen zwischen den Kandidaten der Parteien der Großen Koalition drehte sich allerdings nur um die Plätze vier und fünf. Rudolf Hundstorfer von der SPÖ erzielte 11,3, Andreas Khol von der ÖVP 11,1 %. Der FPÖ-Kandidat Norbert Hofer schnitt mit 35 % mit deutlichem Abstand als bester Kandidat ab und unterlag im zweiten Wahlgang am 22. Mai mit 49,65 % nur knapp dem Grünen Alexander Van der Bellen. Die Wahl wurde auf Antrag der FPÖ jedoch wegen Verstößen gegen das Wahlgesetz aufgehoben und – nach einer weiteren Ver- schiebung wegen nichtklebender Wahlumschläge – am 4. Dezember 2016 wiederholt. Hofer verlor diese Stichwahl mit 46,2 %. Aufmerksam und mit Sorge beobachtete qua- si ganz Europa knapp ein Jahr die mögliche Wahl eines freiheitlichen Bundespräsiden- ten in Österreich, die als Signal für den Aufstieg der Rechtspopulisten in Europa galt.

  • Exile and Holocaust Literature in German and Austrian Post-War Culture
    Religions 2012, 3, 424–440; doi:10.3390/rel3020424 OPEN ACCESS religions ISSN 2077-1444 www.mdpi.com/journal/religions Article Haunted Encounters: Exile and Holocaust Literature in German and Austrian Post-war Culture Birgit Lang School of Languages and Linguistics, The University of Melbourne, Parkville 3010 VIC, Australia; E-Mail: [email protected] Received: 2 May 2012; in revised form: 11 May 2012 / Accepted: 12 May 2012 / Published: 14 May 2012 Abstract: In an essay titled ‗The Exiled Tongue‘ (2002), Nobel Prize winner Imre Kertész develops a genealogy of Holocaust and émigré writing, in which the German language plays an important, albeit contradictory, role. While the German language signified intellectual independence and freedom of self-definition (against one‘s roots) for Kertész before the Holocaust, he notes (based on his engagement with fellow writer Jean Améry) that writing in German created severe difficulties in the post-war era. Using the examples of Hilde Spiel and Friedrich Torberg, this article explores this notion and asks how the loss of language experienced by Holocaust survivors impacted on these two Austrian-Jewish writers. The article argues that, while the works of Spiel and Torberg are haunted by the Shoah, the two writers do not write in the post-Auschwitz language that Kertész delineates in his essays, but are instead shaped by the exile experience of both writers. At the same time though, Kertész‘ concept seems to be haunted by exile, as his reception of Jean Améry‘s works, which form the basis of his linguistic genealogies, shows an inability to integrate the experience of exile.

  • Österreich-Konvent – Die Umsetzung Der Verfassungsrevision
    Demokratiezentrum Wien Quelle online: www.demokratiezentrum.org Quelle print: Demokratiezentrum Wien, April 2004 Barbara Blümel Österreich-Konvent – Die Umsetzung der Verfassungsrevision Was schon vor der Nationalratswahl 2002 im Raum stand1, hat seither konkrete Formen angenommen: Dass in einem „Österreich-Konvent“ ExpertInnen und PolitikerInnen zusammenarbeiten, um so politisch realistische Umsetzungsvorschläge für eine Verfassungsreform zu erarbeiten. Im Jänner 2003 haben der Präsident des Nationalrates Andreas Khol und der damalige Präsident des Bundesrates Herwig Hösele einen ausgearbeiteten Plan zur Einsetzung des Österreich- Konvents vorgelegt2, aber auch die SPÖ machte konkrete Vorschläge. Für Präsident Khol stand fest: „Das Modell ist der Europa-Konvent, der mit der gleichen Frage konfrontiert ist: Was kommt da raus? Das Papier verpflichtet niemanden zu irgendetwas. Aber es hat das Gewicht des Vorsitzenden, das Gewicht, dass alle politischen Kräfte mitgearbeitet haben. Über das Ergebnis wird sich die aktuelle Politik nicht so leicht hinwegsetzen können. 3 Und Ähnliches erwarte ich von der österreichischen Situation.“ 1. Gründung Der Österreich-Konvent wurde durch eine politische Vereinbarung zwischen Nationalrat, Bundesrat (jeweils Präsidialkonferenz), den Landtagen (vertreten durch die Konferenz der 4 Landtagspräsidenten), der Bundesregierung, der Landeshauptleutekonferenz (vertreten durch den vorsitzenden Landeshauptmann), dem Gemeindebund und dem Städtebund eingerichtet.

It was the victory of liberalism and the constitutional state, a victory which had immediate and phenomenal demographic and social consequences. In 1857, Vienna had a total population of 287,824, of which 6,217 (2.16 per cent) were Jews.
