Warum vergolden die Österreicher ihre Baudenkmäler selbst dann, wenn sie zu Staub zerfallen? Wieso bauen die Deutschen ihren Automobilen Tempel? Und was passiert, wenn Ernst Neufert in Graz auf ...Buster Keaton trifft? Seit 1992 bereichern die Texte Christian Kühns im Feuilleton der Tageszeitung "Die Presse", das als Leitindex der österreichischen Architekturentwicklung gilt, die kritische Diskussion über Architektur und Städtebau. Sie richten sich vor allem an neugierige Stadt- und Hausbewohner, die Architektur als Medium gesellschaftlicher Veränderungen kennen lernen und verstehen wollen, und nicht nur an ein Fachpublikum. In "Ringstraße ist überall" sind die besten Texte aus 15 Jahren versammelt, 120 Essays, die der Baukunst unserer Zeit auf den Zahn fühlen.

The tragedy of war does not end when the soldiers put down their guns. Among the after-effects, the dislocation and relocation of civilians often loom large. The aftermath of the Bosnian conflicts ...has left many refugees needing to establish new lives, often in radically different cultures. In Uprooted and Unwanted , Barbara Franz offers a cogent look at how these refugees have fared in two representative cities—Vienna and New York City.
Between 1991 and 2001, some 30,000 Bosnian refugees settled in Austria, and 120,000 found their way to the United States. Franz focuses on the strategies, skills, and informal networks used by Bosnian refugees, particularly women, to adapt to official policies and administrative practices in their host societies. Her analysis concludes that historically inaccurate ideas on how to deal with displaced persons have led to policies in both Europe and North America that have adversely affected those whose lives have been devastated by war.
Širitev Evropske unije pomeni pomembno spremembo dosedanjega funkcionalnega teritorialne zgradbe Evrope. Globalne politične posledice so pretežno znane, težave, ki so hkrati priložnosti regionalnega ...in lokalnega razvoja, pa dobivajo stvarne razsežnosti. Predmet prispevka je podeželsko območje severovzhodne Avstrije, na katero vplivajo funkcijsko-gravitacijski suburbanizacijski učinki glavnega mesta sosednje države, kjer nastaja rastoča bratislavska aglomeracija.
Although we usually think of the intellectual legacy of twentieth-century Vienna as synonymous with Sigmund Freud and his psychoanalytic theories, other prominent writers from Vienna were also ...radically reconceiving sexuality and gender. In this probing new study, David Luft recovers the work of three such writers: Otto Weininger, Robert Musil, and Heimito von Doderer. His account emphasizes the distinctive intellectual world of liberal Vienna, especially the impact of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche in this highly scientific intellectual world. According to Luft, Otto Weininger viewed human beings as bisexual and applied this theme to issues of creativity and morality. Robert Musil developed a creative ethics that was closely related to his open, flexible view of sexuality and gender. And Heimito von Doderer portrayed his own sexual obsessions as a way of understanding the power of total ideologies, including his own attraction to National Socialism. For Luft, the significance of these three writers lies in their understandings of eros and inwardness and in the roles that both play in ethical experience and the formation of meaningful relations to the world-a process that continues to engage artists, writers, and thinkers today. Eros and Inwardness in Vienna will profoundly reshape our understanding of Vienna's intellectual history. It will be important for anyone interested in Austrian or German history, literature, or philosophy.
Fin-de-siècle Vienna remains a central event in the birth of the century's modern culture. Our understanding of what happened in those key decades in Central Europe at the turn of the century has ...been shaped in the last years by an historiography presided over by Carl Schorske's Fin de Siècle Vienna and the model of the relationship between politics and culture which emerged from his work and that of his followers. Recent scholarship, however, has begun to question the main paradigm of this school, i.e. the "failure of liberalism." This volume reflects not only a whole range of the critiques but also offers alternative ways of understanding the subject, most notably though the concept of "critical modernism" and the integration of previously neglected aspects such as the role of marginality, of the market and the larger Central and European context. As a result this volume offers novel ideas on a subject that is of unending fascination and never fails to captivate the Western imagination.
Ablaze with excitement, effervescent with creativity—late nineteenth-century Vienna was the ideal site for this analysis of the ways in which a sizable and significant group of Jews was assimilated ...into European society.
