Austria's renowned Salzburg Festival has from the outset engaged issues of cultural identity in a country that has difficulty coming to terms with its twentieth-century history. That this is the case was especially apparent in 1999, when the Austrian president opened the festival with a speech attacking its profile under the direction of Gerard Mortier and calling for a return to the ideals of its spiritual founder, Hugo von Hofmannsthal. This proved the opening shot in a renewed debate about the direction of the Festival, which is in fact a debate about the identity of Austria itself. The issues posed foreshadowed the uproar that erupted several months later when Joerg Haider's right-wing F...

Paintings by Renaissance masters Lucas Cranach the Elder, Albrecht Durer, and Hans Holbein the Younger are among the works featured in this lavish volume, the first to comprehensively study the largest collection of early German paintings in America.

In all, more than 70 works are thoroughly discussed and analyzed, making this volume an incomparable resource for the study of this rich artistic period.

Die Ära Haslauer
Die ausgehenden siebziger und die achtziger Jahre waren eine Zeit des Ubergangs. Neben kraftiger okonomischer Weiterentwicklung in Richtung ausdifferenzierter Dienstleistungsgesellschaft findet sich auch die zunehmend lauter und mit breiter Resonanz artikulierte Infragestellung dieses optimistischen Wachstumsdenkens: Das Monopol der konventionellen Politiker-Politik wird relativiert und durch Politisierung von Teilen der - vor allem stadtischen - Gesellschaft herausgefordert; bisher als Fortschritt akzeptierte Ziele wie Verkehr, der Bau von Kraftwerke bis hin zur friedlichen Nutzung der Atomenergie werden zunehmend als Bedrohung empfunden und abgelehnt und an deren Stelle werden okologische ...
