  • Introduction
    FLUSSER STUDIES 28 Introduction The current issue of Flusser Studies considers Flusser’s first three years in Europe and focuses on Merano/Meran in northern Italy. There, Vilém and Edith spent the falls and winters between October 1972 and May 1975, reading and writing in a more or less quiet ambience. As Flusser wrote in a letter to Abraham Moles on December 4 1973 „All very well, but what should we be doing? My answer: stay put in Merano or a farmhouse near Strasbourg, write books and articles nobody will read, talk together about God and the world, and have a nice time as the fires are burning. I invite you to do this with us“.1 However, this account of a time of rest and intellectual work cannot hide the evidence of considerable activity. During this time, Flusser published several essays in the leading German newspaper of Alto Adige/Südtirol in northern Italy, Dolomiten, and one article for Das Fenster of North Tyrol in Austria. These quickly brought him into a number of contemporary multilingual discussions. The essays reprinted here date from that time in the early 1970s and make reference to the immediate context. It is worth noting that 1972 was exactly the year Alto Adige/Südtirol / South Tyrol (officially: Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano/ Autonome Provinz Bozen/Provinzia Autonoma de Balsan/Bulsan) successfully adopted a policy of détente. As Flusser had several well-informed and educated friends in Italy, and as the Italian and German newspapers frequently reported on the issue, he must have known details of those developments.
