Austrian Lives
We also suggest that the intellectual biographies of thinkers and professionals are fertile soil for biographical study. Moreover, the prosopographical study of common folks in the Austrian population lifts these lives from the dark matter of anonymous masses and gives rich insight into the lives that ordinary Austrians have been leading. We present an array of political lives, including that of Ignaz Seipel and Therese Schlesinger-Eckstein, as well as "Lives of the Mind" which capture the lives of fascinating intellectual figures in pre- and post-World War II Vienna such as Viktor Frankl and Eugenie Schwarzwald. The approaches to writing biography taken in this volume also suggest that much work needs to be done to shed light on the lives of ordinary Austrians. In this volume we have biographical accounts detailing the lives of soldiers, prisoners of war, and farming families.
The Americanization/Westernization of Austria
Political, economic, social, and cultural modernization dramatically transformed twentieth-century Austria. Innovative new methods of production and management, such as the assembly line, changed Austrian business after World War I, much as the Marshall Plan shaped the economy after World War II. At the same time, jazz, Hollywood movies, television programming, and mass commodities were as popular in Austria as elsewhere in Western Europe. Even political campaigns followed American trends. All this occurred despite the fact that in West Germany, American nostrums and models had been rejected, modified, or "translated" into milder versions. Ultimately, Austria was "Western Europeanized" when ...
The Power of Vulnerability
This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence.This book investigates the new language of vulnerability that has emerged in feminist, queer and antiracist debates on media, taking a particular interest in the historical legacies and contemporary forms and effects of this language. Contributors such as Jack Halberstam and Sara Ahmed examine how vulnerability has become a battleground, how affect and vulnerability have turned into a politicised currency both for addressing and obscuring asymmetries of power, and how media activism and state policies address so-called vulnerable groups. Taking on such heated topics as trigger warnings and diversity policies, the book will be of interest to scholars and students in media and cultural studies, affect theory, gender studies, queer theory and critical race studies.

Masculinities
This is an exciting new edition of R.W. Connell s ground-breaking text, which has become a classic work on the nature and construction of masculine identity. Connell argues that there is not one masculinity, but many different masculinities, each associated with different positions of power. In a world gender order that continues to privilege men over women, but also raises difficult issues for men and boys, his account is more pertinent than ever before. In a substantial new introduction and conclusion, Connell discusses the development of masculinity studies in the ten years since the book s initial publication. He explores global gender relations, new theories, and practical uses of mascu...
A Foreign Affair
With six Academy Awards, four entries on the American Film Institute's list of 100 greatest American movies, and more titles on the National Historic Register of classic films deemed worthy of preservation than any other director, Billy Wilder counts as one of the most accomplished filmmakers ever to work in Hollywood. Yet how American is Billy Wilder, the Jewish émigré from Central Europe? This book underscores this complex issue, unpacking underlying contradictions where previous commentators routinely smoothed them out. Wilder emerges as an artist with roots in sensationalist journalism and the world of entertainment as well as with an awareness of literary culture and the avant-garde, features that lead to productive and often highly original confrontations between high and low.
Der Forschende Blick
Zeitgeschichte als Wissenschaftsdisziplin ist in der universitaren Forschung der letzen Jahrzehnte zum Fixum des geschichtswissenschaftlichen Kanons geworden. Der osterreichische Zeithistoriker Ernst Hanisch hat daran einen besonderen Anteil. Die Beitrage der Festschrift zu seinem 70. Geburtstag stammen von etablierten Vertretern der osterreichischen Zeitgeschichte, die zu seinen Schulern, Freunden und Weggefahrten zu zahlen sind. Die Aufsatze, die zu einer Vermessung der osterreichischen Vergangenheit trotz der "Konkurrenz" durch europaische und universalhistorische Perspektiven anregen wollen, geben Einblick in die thematische Vielfalt zeitgeschichtlicher Forschung in Osterreich. Viele der in der Festschrift aufscheinenden Aufsatze greifen das Interesse des Jubilars an der Auseinandersetzung uber die theoretischen Grundlagen zeitgeschichtlicher Forschung ebenso auf wie seine Uberzeugung, dass zu Wissenschaft die kritische Diskussion unaufloslich dazugehore.
Frauen, wacht auf!
Diese frauen- und geschlechterhistorische Studie untersucht die Transformationsphase von der Habsburgermonarchie zur Ersten Republik unter einem neuen Blickwinkel. Sie fragt einerseits danach, wie sich Geschlecht auf die Art und Weise der Teilhabe von Frauen an der Österreichischen Revolution ausgewirkt hat. Andererseits macht sie Frauen als Akteurinnen sichtbar, die den Neubeginn durch die Republiksgründung dazu nutzten, für eine bessere Welt zu kämpfen. Die Autorin stellt die Hypothese auf, dass sich unser Verständnis der revolutionären Vorgänge und der Rätebewegung in Österreich maßgeblich verändert, wenn Frauen als Akteurinnen in den Blick genommen werden – was nicht zuletzt...
„Warum musste Jesus sterben?“
Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Theologie, Religionspädagogik, Note: 1,0, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Sprachlosigkeit mit dem das Kreuz heute oft konfrontiert ist, gilt es im Religionsunterricht nicht einfach stehen zu lassen. Gerade weil dem Thema heute in Gesellschaft, Kirche und Religionsunterricht oft mit Unverständnis begegnet wird, muss man sich tiefergehend mit ihm beschäftigen, um den Schülerinnen und Schülern wieder deutlich zu machen, was in den Deutungen vom Kreuzestod tatsächlich steckt. Man darf sie hier nicht mit ihren Fragezeichen zurücklassen: „Warum musste Jesus sterben?“, „Ist Gott so grausam...
Wild Urban Woodlands
This book provides a first overview of the phemonemon of post-industrial urban wilderness: urban landscapes once shaped by heavy industry that are being re-colonized naturally by forests. These new types of urban woodlands are often overlooked by ecologists, foresters and planners. Individual chapters consider urban woodlands from the perspectives of ecology, environmental sociology, forestry, nature conservation and landscape architecture.
