Innsbruck: StudienVerlag, 2006. 333 pp. EUR 37.80 (paper), ISBN 978-3-7065-4076-6. Reviewed by Peter Utgaard (Cuyamaca College)Published on HABSBURG (January, 2011) Commissioned by Jonathan Kwan Remembrance in Vienna In the early 1980s, historian Robert Knight discovered the 1948 cabinet papers where the Austrian leaders discussed the question of restitution for Jewish victims of the Nazi regime in Austria. Knight’s revealing of the words of Interior Minister Oskar Helmer--“I am in favor of dragging this matter out”-- spelled out exactly how Austrian policy would function. After publication of Knight’s book (resisted by the government), Helmer’s phrase became part of Austria’s political lexicon.[1] Knight’s find was concrete evidence of a postwar political culture that was dominated by what historians would later call the victim myth, victim thesis, and other names. In postwar Austria, the political system and the government was characterized by Proporz, the power sharing and divvying of patronage spoils by the two main political parties, the Socialist Party of Austria (SPÖ) and the conservative Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP). The rebirth of an independent Austria, reversing the Nazi annexation of 1938, came courtesy of the Four Powers who had defeated Nazi Germany. The political leadership in Austria seized this opportunity and immediately adopted a doctrine that Austria and most Austrians were unequivocal victims of Nazi Germany.

  • Operetta After the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen a Dissertation
    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated

  • Pietas Austriaca? the Imperial Legacy in Interwar and Postwar Austria
    religions Article Pietas Austriaca? The Imperial Legacy in Interwar and Postwar Austria Dieter A. Binder ID Chair of Cultural Studies, Andrássy University, Pollack Mihály tér 3, 1088 Budapest, Hungary; [email protected] Received: 7 July 2017; Accepted: 21 August 2017; Published: 29 August 2017 Abstract: This paper aims to outline the specific Habsburg character of Austrian Catholicism through a study of Pietas Austriaca, the supposed Habsburg tradition of Catholic piety, and its role in the First and Second Austrian Republics. It analyzes the narrative of Austrian history presented by the Heldendenkmal, or Heroes’ Monument, which was erected in Vienna in 1934. Further, it argues that Pietas Austriaca was linked in the postwar period to a notion of Heimat (Home, Homeland) and served the needs of Austrian political Catholicism, which was seeking to recruit former National Socialists. Keywords: Habsburg; Austria; empire; Catholicism; Pietas Austriaca; Christian Social Party; Austrian People’s Party; Heimat; Heldendenkmal Political Catholicism utilised its commitment to the concept of Pietas Austriaca to define its political position towards both Social Democratic Austro-Marxism and National Socialism. After 1945, the Roman Catholic Church served as a vehicle for the denazification of former National Socialists. By creating the “Heimat”, it endeavoured to establish a common front against Social Democracy in order to implement a masked bourgeois bloc. Ultimately, this would to some extent explain the rise of the Austrian Freedom Party from 1986 on. “The Pietas Austriaca, i.e., Austrian piety—referring here to Austria as Casa d’Austria, i.e., the House of Austria, and not as a geopolitical entity—was propagated in the Baroque era as the most fundamental virtue of the Habsburg dynasty.

    LIFELONG LEARNING CULTURE A PARTNERSHIP FOR RETHINKING EDUCATION Vienna, 5-6 July 2018 Survival Guide WORDS OF WELCOMING “I am delighted to welcome members, partners and stakeholders from different levels to this cornerstone event in the field of lifelong learning and education. The current European agenda commands us to tackle these topics as broadly as possible, and a civil society input is mostly needed. Hence, the Lifelong Learning Platform dedicates the 2018 Annual Conference to the ties between education and culture. Those two worlds are often close to each other, and yet there are little structures in place to build a true partnership. Within these few days, we would like to address the real question behind this phenomenon: how to create lifelong learning societies through synergies between education and culture? We will be drawing from our experience, building on our members’ expertise, pooling resources and fighting for what we stand for: to build more inclusive societies based on education.” David López President of the Lifelong Learning Platform rue de l’Industrie, 10 - 1000 Bruxelles tel: +32 (0)2 893 25 15 e-mail: [email protected] DOWNTOWN VIENNA AND ITS SURROUNDINGS Greater Vienna Inner city VENUES Star Inn Premium Hotel Wien Hauptbahnhof Gerhard-Bronner-Straße 5, 1100 Wien, Austria Technische Universität Wien Karlsplatz 13, 1040 Wien, Austria Rathauskeller Rathauspl. 1, 1010 Wien, Austria Das Columbus Columbuspl. 6, 1100 Wien, Austria Did you know?

Arabesques on By the Beautiful Blue Danube/Adolf Schulz-Evler LINER NOTES At the end of Johann Strauss’ 1875 operetta Die Fledermaus, all of the characters drink a toast to the real culprit of the story—“Champagner hat's verschuldet”—a fitting conclusion to the most renowned and potent evocation of the carefree life of post-revolution imperial Vienna. Strauss' sparkling score (never mind that the libretto is an amalgam of German and French sources), infused with that most famous of Viennese dances, the waltz, lent eloquent expression to the transitory atmosphere of confidence and prosperity induced by the Hapsburg monarchs. “The Emporer Franz Joseph I,” it would later be said, "only reigned until the death of Johann Strauss." And what could have provided more perfect source material than the music of Strauss, for the pastiche creations of the illustrious composer-pianists who roamed the world in the latter 19th and early 20th centuries, forever seeking vehicles with which to exploit the possibilities of their instrument and display their pianistic prowess? This disc presents a succession of such indulgent enterprises, all fashioned from Strauss’ music, for four notable composer-pianists: Moriz Rosenthal, Karl Tausig, Leopold Godowsky, and Adolf Schulz-Evler.
