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.

  • Der November
    An den Bäumen welk und matt, schwebt das letzte Laub zur Neige, niedertaumelt Blatt für Blatt und verhüllt die Waldessteige. Der November Blick in die Tiefe –Rückverbindung – nach vorne schauen Zeit Stirb und werde Windmond – Nebelmond – Schlachtmond - Schneemond Der NOVEMBER ist der elfte Monat im gregorianischen Kalender und hat 30 Tage. Im julianischen Kalender war er der neunte Monat des Jahres, deswegen wurde er November genannt (lat. novem = neun). Alte Namen für den November sind Wintermonat, Neblung, Nebelmond, da die Nebel dicht über dem Land hängen. Schlachtmonat oder Schlachtmond, weil in ihm einst das Schlachten der Schweine für den Wintervorrat üblich war. Früher hieß es, dass im November Wotan mit seinem Heer der verstorbenen Seelen über den Himmel tobt und Frost, Kälte, Eis und Schnee mit sich bringt und die Erde erstarren lässt. Das Sterben lädt uns ein sich mit seinem Mysterium des Lebens zu befassen. Seite 1 von 10 November 2013 Der November ist ein Monat der Einkehr, Besinnung, Innenschau. Des Gedankens an die Verstorbenen und Gefallenen. Er zählt zu den Geisterstunden des Jahres und lädt ein seine persönlichen Schattenthemen zu betrachten und sich damit auseinanderzusetzen. So haben wir die Möglichkeit Altes und Vergangenes in uns „Sterben“ zu lassen, um Neuem Platz zu machen. Wir haben die Möglichkeit uns tief in unserem Inneren zu wandeln und uns neu auszurichten, Neues erfahren zu können – alles in Verbindung und Anbindung an und mit der göttlichen Quelle in uns. Zu Asche werde ich, in die Tiefe stesteigeige ich hinab, aus der Asche erhebe ich mich in das Licht des neuenneuen Morgens. Besondere Tage im November: 01.

  • 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.

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?

Główną jej (funkcją– KG) jest wskazana już transmisja, dzięki której społeczeństwa nie muszą już tworzyć wszystkiego od początku i mogą dysponować potencjałem stworzonym przez poprzednie pokolenia. Ponadto tradycja dostarcza systemowi społeczno‐kulturowemu niezbędnej dozy stabilizacji oraz stanowi ważną podstawę integracji, identyfikacji i poczucia wartości własnej grupy (…) Tradycja polega bowiem zarówno na bezrefleksyjnych, jak i refleksyjnych zachowaniach i postawach, a o ich rezultacie decyduje całość procesu kulturowego.

It is especially necessary since this art and work is not well known, so that no one can practice it who is not, so to speak, born to it, or who does not have much talent and good judgment. For this reason and also because it is closely related to sculpture, whose arms are the support of its life, it is very highly esteemed… it is a profitable and skilful art and in large part delightful. [BIRINGUCCIO, IN PIROTECHNIA, 1540] Introduction The history of metal casting is the history of metal- lurgy. Metals produced in a furnace are melted and cast to form useful objects, whether a piece of jewelry, an agri- cultural tool, or a weapon. Objects made of gold, silver, copper, bronze, brass, tin, lead, and iron conserved in museums are a testimony to the cleverness of the ancient metal workers.
