    CAS XXV CONTEMPORARY AUSTRIANAUSTRIAN STUDIES STUDIES | VOLUME VOLUME 25 25 This volume celebrates the study of Austria in the twentieth century by historians, political scientists and social scientists produced in the previous twenty-four volumes of Contemporary Austrian Studies. One contributor from each of the previous volumes has been asked to update the state of scholarship in the field addressed in the respective volume. The title “Austrian Studies Today,” then, attempts to reflect the state of the art of historical and social science related Bischof, Karlhofer (Eds.) • Austrian Studies Today studies of Austria over the past century, without claiming to be comprehensive. The volume thus covers many important themes of Austrian contemporary history and politics since the collapse of the Habsburg Monarchy in 1918—from World War I and its legacies, to the rise of authoritarian regimes in the 1930s and 1940s, to the reconstruction of republican Austria after World War II, the years of Grand Coalition governments and the Kreisky era, all the way to Austria joining the European Union in 1995 and its impact on Austria’s international status and domestic politics.

    Haider, Jörg (1950-2008) by Nikolai Endres Jörg Haider in 2007. Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Image appears under the Creative Commons Entry Copyright © 2009 glbtq, Inc. Attribution Share-Alike Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Version 3.0 Unported license. For more On October 11, 2008, a heavily intoxicated Jörg Haider crashed his car while driving information about this twice the speed limit. Thus, a remarkable but ambiguous political career came to an image, please visit its Wikimedia Commons end. page. Haider was a right-wing Austrian politician who had been featured on the covers of Time and Newsweek, caricatured as neo-Nazi industrialist Richard Dressier played by Alan Bates in the movie The Sum of All Fears (2002, directed by Phil Alden Robinson), and had shaken hands with Saddam Hussein before the American invasion of Iraq. The last thing Haider--who was variously described as chauvinistic, anti-Semitic, xenophobic, populist, and charismatic--did before he died was visit a gay bar. Haider matters to glbtq culture in several but contradictory respects. First, persistent rumors about his sexuality did not harm his political career, thus suggesting that homosexuality has ceased to be a major issue in Austria. However, the fact that no mainstream Austrian politician or journalist dared to out Haider may suggest the opposite: that homosexuality is so taboo as to be unspeakable. Perhaps most pointedly, Haider did great damage to the Austrian glbtq community. In opposing pro-gay policies he reinforced the stereotype of hypocritical politicians who privately enjoy the freedoms won by the glbtq movement while taking public positions against the movement.

  • Zoom: National Socialism and the Holocaust
    ZOOM: NATIONAL SOCIALISM AND THE HOLOCAUST ZOOM: NATIONAL SOCIALISM AND THE HOLOCAUST When the days start passing me by, and people and landscapes race by me, I pause to remember that which has passed forever. I think of those people who will always remain unknown to me, and I hear their unspoken sentences. That is what I mean by remem- brance. EVELINA MERHAUT NATIONAL FUND, VIENNA APPROACHES TO THE TOPIC The beginning is usually full of questions: . Isn’t the topic of the Holocaust really too problematic? . How can I go about defining the term “Holocaust”? . How do I deal with people who deny the Holocaust? . Haven’t my students already heard enough about the Holocaust? On behalf of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Arts and Culture, erinnern.at provides support for teachers of all school types and subjects as well as for teachers in adult education. Goals: to make learning about the Holocaust and National Socialism relevant for the present, to accept 3 responsibility, to communicate historical knowledge, and to develop methodological and pedagogical skills. erinnern.at develops teaching materials, organ- izes teacher education courses, and brings teachers together with researchers and institutions. The Internet platform www.erinnern.at provides teaching and learning resources and reports on net- work activities at the state and federal level in Austria (further education courses, seminars, conferences). 4 Wolf Kaiser HOUSE OF THE WANNSEE CONFERENCE, BERLIN For me, remem- bering, first and foremost, means reviewing my own personal experiences. It’s sometimes a bit bothersome having to remind others of things. And this happens quite often.

  • The Future of Ukraine
    The future of Ukraine The future of Ukraine depends most of all on the Ukrainians themselves. They defended their democracy and future 10 years ago, during the Orange Revolution, and are standing up for those values again today. As Europeans grow disenchanted with the idea of a common Europe, people in Ukraine are fighting for that idea and for their country's place in Europe. Defending Ukraine from the authoritarian temptations of its corrupt leaders is in the interests of the democratic world. We cannot afford to turn our back on Ukraine. The new authoritarians in Kyiv should know that there will be a high price to pay for their repressive policies and for abandoning the European aspirations of the people. It is not too late for us to change things for the better and prevent Ukraine from becoming a dictatorship. Passivity in the face of the authoritarian turn in Ukraine and the country's reintegration into a newly expanding Russian imperial sphere of interests pose a threat to the European Union’s integrity. It is a threat not just to the moral integrity of the Union but possibly to its internal institutional integrity as well. Alongside the diplomatic and economic measures taken by individual states and the entire EU, independent democratic initiatives should make efforts to defend victims of repression, support civil society and strengthen independent media. The quality of any democracy depends to a great extent on what its citizens know about their country and the world. In Ukraine, the picture of the world is shaped by the authorities, who control most of the mass media, and Russian television channels faithful to President Putin.
