Abstract
Abstract:Colonial and postcolonial approaches to both Austrian and Habsburg history represent an opportunity to reconfigure not only Habsburg but also modern Austrian history and its relation to the wider world. 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.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Austrian Studies is an interdisciplinary quarterly that publishes scholarly articles and book reviews on all aspects of the history and culture of Austria, Austro-Hungary, and the Habsburg territory. It is the flagship publication of the Austrian Studies Association and contains contributions in German and English from the world''s premiere scholars in the field of Austrian studies. The journal highlights scholarly work that draws on innovative methodologies and new ways of viewing Austrian history and culture. Although the journal was renamed in 2012 to reflect the increasing scope and diversity of its scholarship, it has a long lineage dating back over a half century as Modern Austrian Literature and, prior to that, The Journal of the International Arthur Schnitzler Research Association.
