Recent commentary on Karl Polanyi’s oeuvre has argued that the émigré scholar abandoned his earlier concerns of working out a (socialist) alternative to liberal market society when delving into the institutional study of ancient economies at Columbia University from the late 1940s to the late 1950s. This article reconsiders Polanyi’s late work through the lens of his 1920s efforts to theorize socialist accounting and a socialist economy in the context of the early Viennese socialist calculation debate. While many interpretations have been provided of Polanyi’s early and late work, the gradual—for some even “great”—transformation that led to his focus on ancient economic history has neither been reconstructed in detail nor fully understood. Focusing on how Polanyi’s socialist agenda of the earlier years laid the grounds for his institutional approach to economic history, this article draws attention to certain authors who have only rarely been taken into account, in particular, to Otto Neurath and Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk. Polanyi’s late work sits ambiguously between Austrian School economic theory on the one hand and economic history in a “substantive” key, first outlined by Neurath, on the other hand. This Viennese heritage bequeathed both an implicit naturalism and an implicit socialism in Polanyi’s late studies.

This essay reconstructs the story of the 1963 English translation of Sebastian “Wastl” Mariner’s classic mountain rescue manual Neuzeitliche Bergrettungstechnik, published by the Alpenverein in 1949, by two members of the Seattle-based Mountain Rescue Council. Both translators, Otto T. Trott and Kurt G. Beam, were refugees of National Socialism. In tracing the story of Mountain Rescue Techniques, the essay suggests some of the ironies that attended the historical process through which German and Austrian Alpinism gradually lost its Nazi associations. The essay also offers a case study in the growing field of the history of migrant knowledge.
本文对塞巴斯蒂安·沃特尔·马瑞尔的经典山地救援手册《Neuzeitliche Bergrettungstechnik》1963年的英译本进行了重新研究,这本手册由总部位于西雅图的山地救援委员会的两名成员于1949年出版。奥托·特洛特(Otto T. Trott)和库尔特·g·比姆(Kurt G. Beam)这两位翻译都是国家社会主义的难民。在追溯《山地救援技术》的故事时,本文提出了德国和奥地利登山运动逐渐失去纳粹联系的历史过程中的一些讽刺意味。本文还提供了一个案例研究,在移民知识的历史日益增长的领域。

This article discusses the processing, reporting, evaluation, and dissemination of intelligence from Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and Strategic Services Unit (SSU) missions in Austria both locally and in Washington, DC. We begin by briefly reviewing the organization of OSS Austria after which the question of who was evaluating intelligence from Austria locally and in Washington is addressed. Then, we compare the roles of the Secret Intelligence (SI) Reports (or Reporting) Board and, until October 1945, OSS Research and Analysis (R&A) both in Austria and Washington. This leads to our first major postulation, namely, that it was not R&A that evaluated field intelligence but, rather, the SI Reports Board. Coupled with their training, competence, and knowledge, when R&A was transferred to the State Department at the end of September 1945, it did not have a noticeable impact upon either Austrian-based reporting or its quality. Using both internal and external assessments, we instead suggest that the quality of intelligence from Austria improved after R&A and SSU parted in October 1945. Finally, we examine some of the external customer requests OSS/SSU Austria received, how these were acted upon, and what reaction(s) they generated.

This article examines the Austrian participation at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, focusing particularly on the display of art. Spread across two venues, the Austrian Pavilion and the Palace of Fine Arts, the display, with contributions from the Mánes Association of Fine Artists, Society of Polish Artists “Sztuka,” the Hagenbund, and the Vienna Künstlergenossenschaft illustrates the changes taking place in Cisleithanian art at the time, with the emergence and increased recognition of nationally organized art societies, whose very existence questioned the long-standing supremacy of Vienna art institutions. A further contrast is made with the Hungarian art exhibition at the same fair. Unlike the Austrian exhibit, housed in its own free-standing exhibition space, the much more modest Hungarian exhibit was divided in two. Fine arts were displayed in the Palace of Fine Arts, while decorative arts and crafts were displayed in a pavilion built inside of the exhibition hall. The author ends by contrasting the 1904 exhibition spaces with those of the 1900 Paris exhibition.

After a short review of aspects of Istvan Deák’s brief but important teaching stints at Stanford, this article explores his work on World War II and the Holocaust. Deák’s writing on these subjects was profoundly influenced by his own wartime experiences in Hungary. But his understanding of the war, collaboration, resistance, and persecution was also characterized by his deeply scholarly appreciation for the historical complexities of the period.

This contribution discusses István Deák’s influence on the rapidly expanding field of gender in Habsburg Central Europe. While Deák did not employ gender as a category of analysis in his own work, some of the categories he did analyze, including collaboration and resistance, war and retribution, and the Habsburg military, and the way he analyzed them, often with a focus on social history, helped open the way for some of his students to move into the newer field of gender and sexuality.

Students of István Deák have been at the forefront of problematizing the Czech national narrative, particularly following the fall of Communism. The Czech nationalist interpretation of history casts the Czechs as an imprisoned nation within Austria (and later inside the Soviet bloc). In this schema, the 1620 Battle of White Mountain ushered in an era of temno (darkness) during which the Germanic Habsburgs suppressed the Czech national language and culture. This article examines how scholars who studied with Deák complicated this narrative by investigating national indifference and fissures within the nineteenth- and twentieth-century national movements.
István Deák的学生一直站在质疑捷克民族叙事的前沿,特别是在共产主义垮台之后。捷克民族主义者对历史的解释将捷克人塑造成一个被禁锢在奥地利(后来又被禁锢在苏联集团内)的民族。在这种模式下,1620年的白山战役开启了一个黑暗时代,在此期间,日耳曼哈布斯堡王朝压制了捷克民族语言和文化。本文考察了研究Deák的学者如何通过调查19世纪和20世纪民族运动中的民族冷漠和裂痕来使这种叙述复杂化。

This article will demonstrate how the Habsburg historian István Deák always paid significant attention in his scholarship to the role of Jews in Central European society. In his first book on left-wing intellectuals in Weimar Germany, his 1979 study of Louis Kossuth, the leader of the Hungarian revolution of 1848, his magnum opus on the Habsburg army officer corps (1990), and his later work on collaboration and resistance in Nazi-occupied Europe, Deák revealed much about both the assimilation of Jews into European society and their rejection by that society. In his book on Kossuth, Deák demonstrated the ambivalence of the revolutionaries, whose liberalism impelled them to emancipate the Jews at the same time as many thought them incapable of Magyarization. Ultimately, it was Jewish loyalty to the Hungarian cause that made the Hungarian revolutionaries extend equal rights to the Jews. In his book on the army officers, Deák clearly demonstrated how the late Habsburg army refused to allow anti-Jewish prejudice to flourish. Unfortunately, many Habsburg Jewish officers were deported to the death camps during World War II.

The ways in which István Deák’s scholarship influences East Central European Jewish historiography present a paradox. While on one hand he elevates a deeply human approach to history writing that centers on individuals and their choices and highlights contingencies and patterns of behavior, on the other he is preoccupied with the institutions that hold states together. In this way, Jews largely represent a Staatsvolk, a state people, in his work, whose allegiance to Austria-Hungary proved especially fateful following the monarchy’s demise. Yet, under his mentorship, students became disabused of ideologies and abstraction and study not nostalgic perceptions but Jews as regular people, earnestly and authentically.
István Deák的学术影响东中欧犹太史学的方式呈现出一种悖论。一方面,他提升了一种以个人和他们的选择为中心,强调偶然性和行为模式的深刻人性化的历史写作方法,另一方面,他专注于将国家维系在一起的制度。通过这种方式,犹太人在他的作品中主要代表了一个Staatsvolk,一个国家的人民,在君主制灭亡后,他们对奥匈帝国的忠诚被证明是特别重要的。然而,在他的指导下,学生们摆脱了意识形态和抽象,不再怀旧,而是把犹太人当作普通人,认真而真实地研究。
