In many ways, postcolonial perspectives force us to reconcile with internal dynamics within Central Europe, while expanding upon our understandings of colonial entanglements in the Habsburg lands leads us to consider the global elements in a region too often neglected in imperial and world historiography. By bringing together recent developments in both fields, this article argues for greater inclusion and adaptation of these perspectives in Austrian/Habsburg history.","PeriodicalId":40350,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Austrian Studies","volume":"56 1","pages":"20 - 9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42684482","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}

Music plays its part in Kasimir und Karoline as well (the “MailüfterlLied” as part of the musical background at the circus; 272), but it is not the main dramatic device as much as the general unmasking of “Kitsch” (273), which distorts reality and tries to make all of life seem as jolly as the circus. Fritz sees this play primarily as a “gesellschaftspolitisches Lehrstück” with an ironic effort at “solving” the problems it addresses (195– 203), and he focuses on larger issues by linking them to the various characters’ ways of addressing what they see as reality. Between Kasimir and Schürzinger, for example, there prevails a “Dominanz des Bildungsjargons” (219– 34) that naturally hampers communication instead of advancing it. Fritz equates the “Krise des Mannes und Krise des Kleinbürgers” (267– 79) and concludes by reverting to his main idea in a chapter called “Alles was fehlt, ist die Solidarität” (285– 95). The author has done well to draw on the sociologists named earlier, because they give an overall system to his analyses of issues and problems that have not been treated with quite so much consistency. The background studies— of hotels, of Viennese waltzes, for instances— add a dimension of solid understanding.

By showcasing foreign recipes and ingredients, cookbooks and magazines invited readers to reimagine the contours of \"Austrian-ness\" to include tastes and ideas from around the world. Food thus melded day-to- day household routines with the Habsburg project of becoming imperial. Culinary culture worked from within individual homes to expand the meanings of Austrian-ness and solidified Austria's location at the crossroads of the nineteenth century's global exchange of goods and ideas.","PeriodicalId":40350,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Austrian Studies","volume":"56 1","pages":"41 - 51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43603807","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}
