Austria-Hungary's leaders were highly interventionist in their response to transAtlantic migration, eager to maintain loyalty among their diaspora in America. This article explores the very active ...role that the Austro-Hungarian government- especially the Hungarian Prime Minister's Office-played in overseeing migrant loyalty in the United States from 1902 until World War I, examining both its successes and the protests it inspired. Intervention followed migrants overseas: the government integrated itself into the migration bureaucracy and attempted to integrate the home government into migrants' American lives through the press, churches, and cultural events. Several of Austria-Hungary's efforts to maintain the loyalty of its migrating citizens backfired, sparking protest.
Abstract
Folk art revivals were incubators for modernist movements in painting, sculpture, architecture, applied arts, and performing arts. The upsurge of national sentiment in late Imperial Russia ...and official economic support of handicraft industries (known as kustar') promoted the marketing of wood crafts and textiles made at Abramtsevo, Talashkino, and other centers in western Russia and Ukraine. Parallel developments drew upon both folk traditions and patriotic ideals in the central and eastern European countries that had suffered territorial encroachments by Russia, Prussia, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Artists' groups and art colonies showed special respect for regional landscapes, peasant communities, and local artistic traditions. Their activities reflected nationalist ideologies, as well as practical, economic, and philanthropic concerns. The variety of circumstances and motivations sheds light on the phenomena of art colonies, new valuations of applied art forms, and the enduring importance of education in traditional crafts.
The aim of the article is to update the scientific heritage of the well-known Slavist and prominent representative of late Slavophilism Vladimir Ivanovič Lamanskij (1833-1914). Lamanskij’s biography ...is insufficiently studied in modern research literature. On the basis of archival documents, the article reconstructs Lamanskij’s work in the archives of Venice in 1868 and 1869, which resulted in the publication of an extensive collection of documents and studies on the Venetian Republic’s relations with the Greeks and Slavs during its heyday (16th-early 18th century), called State Secrets of Venice (1884). Lamanskij himself considered State Secrets of Venice his primary academic contribution, and the preface is one of Lamanskij’s main ideological texts. It reflects the Panslavist ideas that were supported in the Russian academic environment in the last third of the 19th century. Archival materials allow us to trace the genesis of Lamanskij’s historiosophic views to better understand how his concept of civilisation, in which the ideas of Slavophiles were developed, was formed. One of the key concept of Lamanskij’s work is the idea of confrontation between the Greco-Slavic and Romano-Germanic cultures in Europe. As a consequence, the study provides a better understanding of the ideology of late Slavophilism in the form of a theory which, in Lamanskij’s works, claims the status of a scientific programme in the humanities and social sciences.
