Paths Out of the Apocalypse
Paths out of the Apocalypse fundamentally rethinks some key debates in the scholarship on early 20th-century Central Europe, the First World War, violence, nationalism and modern European comparative social and cultural history, considering the population of the hinterland as an active subject that decisively shaped the outcomes of the war.
Beyond Versailles
Ten essays analyzing the history and effects of the Paris Peace Conference following World War I. The settlement of Versailles was more than a failed peace. What was debated at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919–1920 hugely influenced how nations and empires, sovereignty, and the international order were understood after the Great War?and into the present. Beyond Versailles argues thatthis transformation of ideas was not the work of the treaty makers alone, but emerged in interaction with nationalist groups, anti-colonial movements, and regional elites who took up the rhetoric of Paris and made it their own. In shifting the spotlight from the palace of Versailles to the peripheries of Euro...
Catastrophe and Utopia
Catastrophe and Utopia studies the biographical trajectories, intellectual agendas, and major accomplishments of select Jewish intellectuals during the age of Nazism, and the partly simultaneous, partly subsequent period of incipient Stalinization. By focusing on the relatively underexplored region of Central and Eastern Europe – which was the primary centre of Jewish life prior to the Holocaust, served as the main setting of the Nazi genocide, but also had notable communities of survivors – the volume offers significant contributions to a European Jewish intellectual history of the twentieth century. Approaching specific historical experiences in their diverse local contexts, the twelve...
Emil Saudek (1876–1941)
Der Übersetzer Emil Saudek (1876-1941) gehört zu jenen jüdischen Vermittlern zwischen deutschsprachiger und tschechischer Kultur, deren Leben und Wirken bislang kaum beleuchtet wurde. Der Band stellt Saudeks Biografie in einen breiteren kulturgeschichtlichen Kontext und erlaubt spannende Einblicke in das Wien und Prag der Jahrhundertwende sowie die Tschechoslowakei der Zwischenkriegszeit. Emil Saudek wuchs in einer jüdischen Familie in der böhmisch-mährischen Provinz auf, studierte und arbeitete viele Jahre in Wien und ließ sich anschließend in Prag nieder. Neben seiner Beamtentätigkeit übersetzte er die Werke von bedeutenden Autoren wie Otokar Březina, Josef S. Machar oder Tomá...

Empire and subject peoples
The book outlines the sociological arguments and political activities of the US pragmatist sociologist, Herbert Adolphus Miller (1875-1951). Miller was part of the milieu of Chicago sociology and involved in its studies of race and immigration. He took a distinctly more radical approach and developed a novel political sociology of domination in which he set out a critique of empires, the plight of subject minorities and the risks associated with the inevitable nationalist responses. Where others have identified with the ‘internationalisation’ of nationalism, Miller sought to make the nation ‘international’. He was actively involved in movements for racial justice, Czechoslovakian independence, the formation of the Mid-European Union of subject peoples, as well as support for Korean and Indian independence. He was dismissed by Ohio State University for his activism in 1932.
Czechoslovakism
This collection systematically approaches the concept of Czechoslovakism and its historical progression, covering the time span from the mid-nineteenth century to Czechoslovakia’s dissolution in 1992/1993, while also providing the most recent research on the subject. "Czechoslovakism" was a foundational concept of the interwar Czechoslovak Republic and it remained an important ideological, political and cultural phenomenon throughout the twentieth century. As such, it is one of the most controversial terms in Czech, Slovak and Central European history. While Czechoslovakism was perceived by some as an effort to assert Czech domination in Slovakia, for others it represented a symbol of the ...
Vorstellungen vom Anderen in der tschechisch- und deutschsprachigen Literatur
Die tschechisch-deutsch-österreichischen Beziehungen haben eine wechselvolle Geschichte. Sie ist geprägt von friedlichem Zusammenleben und Kooperation, aber auch von Unterdrückung, Vernichtung und Vertreibung. Welche Vorstellungen haben Tschechen, Österreicher und Deutsche voneinander entwickelt? Diese Frage beantworten Expertinnen und Experten für deutsche und tschechische Literatur aus Europa und den USA. In literarischen Werken vom 19. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart haben sie zahlreiche Beispiele nationaler und kultureller Identitätszuschreibungen aufgespürt. Ihre Betrachtungen reichen vom Auseinanderdriften der ethnischen Gruppen im 19. Jahrhundert im Kontext der Modernisierungsprozesse über Versuche, den Dialog aufrechtzuerhalten, und unvermeidliche Identitätsverflechtungen bis hin zur literarischen Aufarbeitung der Traumata, die durch die nationalsozialistische Annexion und die Vertreibung der Deutschen entstanden sind.
