By bringing to light unresearched archival material, this article traces the preconditions that led to migration to the Habsburg Empire and its particular characteristics. The examination of the socioeconomic characteristics of the persons in question and their migration patterns contribute to a more nuanced understanding of broader issues such as the influence of Austria-Hungary in southeastern Europe and the Jewish emigration from Salonica at the turn of the nineteenth century.","PeriodicalId":40350,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Austrian Studies","volume":"56 1","pages":"53 - 62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49171201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In visual art and music, Stimmung has long been associated with idyllic landscape scenes. Yet in Dvořák's music, its usage is more fraught. In his Gypsy Songs, Stimmung demands unmediated contact with \"Gypsiness,\" an imagined amalgamation of alterity that is more often kept at arm's length. Insofar as it makes \"Gypsiness\" affectively proximate, this music is more ideologically challenging than other cultural products in the Stimmung tradition, and it prompts larger questions about the politicization of affect in the imperial creative imagination.","PeriodicalId":40350,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Austrian Studies","volume":"56 1","pages":"87 - 96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44192745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
