Bøger om Østrig-Ungarn

Die vom Gustav Mahler-Experten Prof. Franz Willnauer in einer aktualisierten und um fünf Kapitel erweiterten Neuausgabe vorgelegte Studie "Gustav Mahler und die Wiener Oper" zeichnet, unterstützt von umfangreichem Quellenmaterial und einem reichhaltigen Bildteil, ein eindrucksvolles Porträt des "Gesamtkünstlers" Mahler als Dirigent, Regisseur und Manager.Das Bild des Komponisten Gustav Mahler, dessen sinfonisches Werk längst seinen Siegeszug um die ganze Welt angetreten hat, ist unvollständig ohne die Kenntnis seiner nahezu lebenslangen Theater-Tätigkeit, die ihren Höhepunkt in seinem zehnjährigen Wirken als Direktor der Wiener Hofoper gefunden hat. Willnauers 1993 erschienene Studie "Gustav Mahler und die Wiener Oper" versammelte erstmals die Dokumente und Statistiken dieser Tätigkeit und wurde zu einem Standardwerk der Mahler-Forschung. In einer aktualisierten und um fünf Kapitel erweiterten Neuausgabe vorgelegt, entspricht das Buch nun dem aktuellen Wissensstand und entfaltet das faszinierende Panorama einer Glanzzeit des bedeutendsten europäischen Opernhauses an der Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert, die von einem Ausnahmekünstler mit seiner Dreifach-Begabung als Dirigent, Regisseur und Manager geprägt war.

Østrig-Ungarn var inden krigen en stormagt bestående af mange småstater og lande. Omkring år 1900 var Wien en metropol, der kunne fortjene prisen som et af de vigtigste samlingssteder for kunst og kultur. Store navne fra denne tid er at finde inden for flere kunstarter – malerkunst med Gustav Klimt som førende inden for den nye jugendstil, musik med Strauss-brødrene og Gustav Mahler, digtekunst med Rainer Maria Rilke, bare for at nævne nogle. Dertil kom psykoanalytikeren Sigmund Freud, som udbredte nye opfattelser om psykisk sundhed og sygdom – ideer, der også påvirkede kulturlivet. Det blomstrende kulturliv var desuden et nybrud og opbrud med gamle værdier såsom patriarkat, biedermeier, bornerthed og naturalisme.Havde denne kunstneriske guldalder, som også var i opposition til gamle værdier, noget at gøre med den kommende krig?

This book opens up an investigation into the fratricidal element that has plagued east Slavic history, and attempts to formulate a makeshift treaty aimed at restraining this element that is already responsible for the deaths of millions of Ukrainians. It takes you through the fratricides amongst various princes of Novgorod, Kiev and Vladimir. It also highlights the fratricidal element applied by the Soviet Union against Ukraine during the Holodomor. The book finally attempts to bring peace through pointing out NATO's role in the recent escalation that is taking place in eastern and southern Ukraine, before laying out the tenets of the treaty, which involve a slow paced Ukrainization of eastern Ukraine and the restoration of water availability to Crimea. This is by far the best source for understanding and disassociating nazism from pro-Ukrainian perspectives. Along with investigating Ukraine's history, while blaming the US and NATO for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, this book also distinguishes the controversial Azov batallion's nazi origins from the overarching framework of Ukrainian culture, by way of acknowledging the fact that much of the Azov batallion's original neo-nazi membership was comprised of native Russian-speakers from eastern Ukraine. They were not products of Ukrainian culture in the western parts of Ukraine, where the majority of native Ukrainian speakers reside. The book also explains how in Ukraine, the propagation of both Soviet-era nostalgia and leaders like Joseph Stalin, who was the main perpetrator of the holodomor(murder and starvation of millions of Ukrainians), can give rise to counter-extremism such as nazism. Because Azov was part and parcel of a largely de-centralized Ukrainian resistence to the pro-Russian seperatists in eastern Ukraine during the 8 year civil war (there were many private militias fighting the seperatists), the Ukrainian government basically annexed the paramilitary group, as well as other private militias, into the Ukrainian army...all for the sake of a more organized resistance to seperatist and Russian forces in the Donbas region. At the same time, the Ukrainian army did not assume their ideology. It was the other way around. The private militas were indoctrinated and consigned into true Ukrainian nationalism. It was true that the Azov were instrumental in helping Ukraine, and are at the same time, highly skilled, tactical and pose a real danger if they continue to uphold their nazi ideology and resist full integration into the Ukrainian army. But such is unlikely since neither President Zelensky, nor much of the native Ukrainian-speaking populations of Ukraine would tolerate it. Meanwhile, the Azov had begun to disavow many of its nazi perspectives.

This volume chronicles the conflict over the unification of Germany, which actually occurred on German soil. The campaign in southern and western Germany ensured that political control of German affairs would be firmly in Prussian hands, controlled by Bismarck, in much the same way that the great battles between Prussia and Austria in the east woul

Anti-Semitism in Hungary. Appearance and Reality. Volume 2 takes the reader deeper into the forest with in-depth interviews with the leaders of the key streams of Hungarian Judaism and the leaders of contemporary Jewish institutions currently active in the country. The interviews are offered here as they took place, with a set of structured questions quickly becoming free flowing conversations that reflected not only on the topic of anti-Semitism, but also with often deeply personal reminiscences on Jewish life and how many families avoided any mention of their Jewish heritage, leaving their children to discover their Jewishness, often quite by accident.Of the many interviews which were conducted over the course of a year and half beginning early in 2020 when COVID lockdowns restricted interviews to Zoom sessions, nine have been selected for this volume bringing together the leaders of MAZSIHISZ (Neolog), EMIH (Orthodox Chabad), MAROM (Conservative) and several key Jewish institutions serving the community as a whole. One additional interview was included with Virág Gulyás, a non-Jew who has created an organization to fight anti-Semitism.Taken together, both volumes illustrate the aptness of the subtitle Appearance and Reality. Seen from the outside, from the EU and US, Hungary is portrayed as anti-Semitic-a dangerous place for Jews to live or visit. The reality, as seen from the perspective of Hungarian Jews, is perceivedas the diametric opposite: Jews walk the streets safely, anti-Semitic violence is among the lowest in Europe, and under the Orbán government there is a zero tolerance policy for public expressions of anti-Semitism. Those interviewed in these pages have sharply differing views of Prime Minister Orbán and of FIDESZ, his political party. But there is a consensus that under the Orbán governments, anti-Semitic violence that was rife in 2012 has all but disappeared.It is our belief that together the two volumes of Anti-Semitism in Hungary: Appearance and Reality will provide readers with a picture of the vibrant Jewish community in Hungary and introduce the reader to some of the remarkable men and women that serve that community.

The 2022 volume of Austrian Studies examines the implications of the now well-established theoretical paradigm of the Anthropocene - the current geological epoch, in which humans are leaving an indelible trace on the fabric of the planet - for research on Austrian literature and culture.
