  • 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.

  • Franz Marek and the Transnational Communist Debate1
    «Qualestoria» n. 1, giugno 2019 A Forgotten Protagonist of European Communism: Franz Marek and the Transnational Communist Debate1 di Karlo Ruzicic-Kessler Abstract This article provides an analysis of the relations and influences between a forgotten pro- tagonist of transnational communism in the twentieth century, the Austrian Franz Marek, and the Italian Communist Party (PCI). By tracing these very relations, it is possible to understand the importance of transnational political and intellectual networks for the in- ternational communist movement. Focusing on the period ranging from 1945 to Marek’s death in 1979, the article interprets the importance of Marek as a Marxist intellectual and political figure in Europe. From his prominent role in the Austrian Communist Party, to his engagement in theoretical discussions, Marek’s life was that of a fervent Marxist. Whether as a political interlocutor or Marxist philosopher and theorist, in both cases the PCI was interested in the words of Franz Marek and fascinated by his theoretical thoughts. His studies of Gramsci were the proverbial cherry on the cake. Not only did he not become an outlaw when ousted from the Austrian Communist Party in 1970, the exchange continued to intensify, and he was involved to some extent in all theoretical discussions of the PCI, even though this posed a problem for many a brother party. Key words: Marek, Communism, Gramsci, Eurocommunism, Austrian Communist Party Parole chiave: Marek, comunismo, Gramsci, eurocomunismo, Partito comunista autriaco Introduction Franz Marek is one of those figures of the past century whose name hardly plays a role in public or scientific discourse.

  • On 10 March 1952, the Soviet Leader Iosif Stalin Proposed—Or
    RuggentThe 1952ha Stalerlin Note on German Unification The 1952 Stalin Note on German Uniªcation The Ongoing Debate ✣ Peter Ruggenthaler On 10 March 1952, the Soviet leader Iosif Stalin proposed—or seemed to propose—a peace treaty that made the reuniªcation of Germany contingent on establishing a neutral status for the country, an offer that sur- prised much of the world and seemed appealing on the surface. In Moscow, Soviet Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrei Gromyko handed identi- cally worded notes containing a draft version of a German peace treaty to dip- lomatic representatives of the Western powers (the United States, Great Brit- ain, and France). Politicians, diplomats, and, above all, historians have long debated whether Stalin was sincere about the goals he laid out in the so-called Stalin Note.1 In the ensuing “Battle of Notes” that dragged on well into the autumn of 1952, the U.S., British, and French governments declined to engage with Sta- lin’s offer and demanded instead binding guarantees that free elections be held everywhere in Germany. After years in which the Soviet Union had shown it- self averse to holding free elections in Germany, Western leaders considered Stalin’s “offer” a propaganda coup at best and a proposal fraught with dangers at worst. Washington in particular was unwilling to abandon the integration of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) with the West. The treaties that were to make West Germany part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) via the European Defense Community (EDC) were ready for sign- ing.2 Relationships between Western governments and the USSR had been 1.

  • The Shadow of the Habsburgs: Memory and National Identity in Austrian Politics and Education, 1918-1955
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: THE SHADOW OF THE HABSBURGS: MEMORY AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN AUSTRIAN POLITICS AND EDUCATION, 1918-1955 Douglas Patrick Campbell, Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation directed by: Marsha L. Rozenblit Department of History This dissertation examines how the people of Austria portrayed their past as part of the centuries -old, multinational Habsburg Monarchy in order to conduct a public debate about what it meant to be an “Austrian” during a tumultuous era in Europe’s history. As its main sources, It draws upon the public writings of Austrian politicians and intellectuals, as well as on educational laws, curricula and history textbooks used by the different Austrian go vernments of the era in order to describe how Austrian leaders portrayed Austria’s past in an attempt to define its national future, even as Austrian schools tried to disseminate those national and historical ideals to the next generation of Austrian citiz ens in a practical sense. The first section describes how the leaders of the Austrian First Republic saw Austria’s newfound independence after 1918 as a clean break with its Habsburg past, and consequently pursued a union with Germany which was frustrated by the political interests of the victors of World War I. The second section details the rise of an “Austro -fascist” dictatorship in Austria during the mid -1930s which promoted an Austrian patriotism grounded in a positive portrayal of the Habsburg Monarc hy in order to remain independent from Nazi Germany. The third section examines Austria’s forcible incorporation into the Nazi German state, and the effort by the Third Reich to completely eradicate the existence of a distinctive Austrian identity by cast ing the Habsburg era in a negative light.

  • The Austrian Communist's Dealing with the Ideological
    «Qualestoria», n.1, giugno 2017 43 The Austrian Communist’s dealing with the Ideological and Territorial Conflicts in the Alps-Adriatic Region (1945–1955)1 di Maximilian Graf Abstract – The Austrian Communist’s dealing with the Ideological and Territorial Conflicts in the Alps-Adriatic Region (1945–1955) The essay provides a detailed analysis of the Communist Party of Austria’s (KPÖ) policy in relation to the events in the Alps-Adriatic region after WWII. The territorial dispute between Austria and Yugoslavia over Carinthia shows the gap between national politics and internationalism at the heart of the strategy pursued by this communist party. In fact, while the KPÖ openly praised the achievements of Yugoslavian socialism and sup- ported its claims on Trieste, it rejected Belgrade’s territorial demands on Austria. The relationship between the two parties, however, developed quite positively until Stalin’s break with Tito. Although part of the party was incredulous with respect to the denuncia- tion that Tito was a traitor to communism, the KPÖ still chose the path of total align- ment with Stalin’s dictation. In the case of South Tyrol, however, the Austrian party first demanded the right of self-determination and thereafter, in 1946, sought to install itself as a leading force in the region, referring to the possibility of creating a section of the KPÖ south of the Brenner. However, the PCI proved determined not to leave the rather limited reins of South Tyrolean communism in Austrian hands. Key words: communism, Austria, Yugoslavia, border studies Parole chiave: comunismo, Austria, Jugoslavia, studi di confine Introduction Researching the history of the Austrian Communist Party (Kommunistische Par- tei Österreichs, KPÖ) is always paper chase.

  • The Left and the National Question Before
    The Left and the National Question in the WW I (Jan. 2014) http://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1913/crnq/4.htm#v20pp72-033 Slide 1 Let me make two preliminary remarks : I am an Austrian and Marxist - to the extent "Austro-Marxist ". But the situation is more complicated: there is infact a tradition that through Hans Kelsen’s famous seminar on state law at the University of Vienna connects the Austro-Marxism Otto Bauer’s embossing with a generation of socialist intellectuals that, after the defeat of the Social Democrats in 1934 formed the core of communist intellectuals. After the occupation of Austria by Germany in 1938, they elaborated the idea of an independent Austrian nation – in political confrontation with their spiritual fathers Otto Bauer and Karl Renner – however implicitly based on their theory of nationalities; a theoretical position from which they moreover developed in emigration the idea of an autonomous socialism, what made them to Euro-Communists “avant la letter” in the early 60s. So we can say that Austrian communism in his best aspects, on one hand is a legitimate heir of Austro-Marxism, and as it fell back towards Soviet dogmatism in the 70ies, on the other hand turned over most of his history as not able to make this heritage fruitful. Slide 2 The second observation relates to the current relevance of the Austro-Marxist nationality theory Four Approaches (at least) in the Left towards European Integration are roughly discernible: 1. EU is an agent of multinational capital and German or US-American domination.
