    Landscapes of Glory and Grief: Representations of the Italian Front and its Topography in the Art of Stephanie Hollenstein and Albin Egger-Lienz, and the Poetry of Gustav Heinse By Francesca Roe A dissertation submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements for award of the degree of MPhil in the Faculty of Arts, School of Modern Languages (German), August 2014. Supervised by Professor Robert Vilain and Doctor Steffan Davies Student Number: 1346104 25,000 Words 1. Historicist Idealism and Regional Identities: The Outbreak of War in Austria- Hungary In August 1914, the Berlin dramatist and critic Julius Bab and the Prague Germanist Adolf von Hauffen conducted independent analyses of German-language newspapers, magazines and pamphlets, and both concluded that an astonishing 50,000 pro-war poems were published daily in that month alone.1 Although it is difficult to state with certainty whether the researchers included Austro-Hungarian publications in their estimations (it would have been unusual for the conservative von Hauffen to have ignored the material published in his homeland), a brief survey of the poetry produced in the Dual Monarchy2 confirms that its German-speaking population experienced a ‘Kriegsbegeisterung’ just as profound as that of their German counterparts, a vociferous enthusiasm for war that affected individuals from all classes, generations and professions, and led to a remarkable outpouring of propagandist art and literature across the Habsburg Empire. 1 Klaus Zelewitz, ‘Deutschböhmische Dichter und der Erste Weltkrieg’, in Österreich und der Große Krieg 1914-1918.

Due to the increasing interest by tourists in visiting former battlefields and places that display cultural heritage referring to conflicts and wars, contemporary social sciences consider war tourism as a compleX blend between social memory and tourism eXploitation of territorial resources.

  • Dolomites Italy
    Overseas Dolomites August 31 meet Italy September 14 The Dolomites in northern Italy are undoubtedly one of the most beautiful mountain groups in the world and the seventy-odd via ferrata climbing routes mostly put up during the First World War conflict are an added attraction. The first two weeks of September were selected for the meet as the Italian holidays are over, but the lift systems and huts are still open. The leader had been to the Dolomites over half a dozen times before, and hired a large comfortable self-catering chalet in Arabba, a centrally located village which offered good access to seven different mountain groups. As a venue for a meet, the spires, peaks, ridges and valleys of the Dolomites offer plenty of scope for a wide range of activities: walks, mountain biking, via ferrata climbing routes, scrambling and both sport and traditional rock climbing. The lift infrastructure makes using a valley base compatible with reaching most routes and summits without resorting to nights in refuges. This made for a relaxed and sociable meet with shared catering and nightly opportunities to share experiences and plan outings. The two-week trip gave those members only able to manage a week some flexibility with dates while those with more time found no difficulty in finding interesting routes to fill every day. The weather was mostly good but with a couple of wet days when waterfalls and salamanders became the main attractions. At the start of the second week, precipitation plastered the mountains with snow down to below pass level creating new challenges for the next few days but enhancing the mountain views.
