National and postnational perspectives in / from / towards Austria Beginning in 1989, intellectual attempts to bid farewell to “history” were made. They were unsuccessful. Today, the same pronouncement and problematic result seems to be predicted for the concept of the nation. For many, a comeback of nationalism was not only unexpected, but has provided a shock to the system(s) akin to witnessing a ghostly reappearance, regardless of the phenomenon one might use to explain it: the fear of globalization, the fall of communism in the former Eastern bloc, the historicization of the trauma of World War II. Austria would seem to provide an interesting perspective of observation given that here a resurgence of nationalism may go hand in hand with intensive attempts to overcome it. The objective of this conference is to analyze historical and contemporary manifestations and representations of nationalisms in/from/towards Austria and its related aspects. The topic is conceived to elicit submissions reflecting a variety of disciplinary as well as multi- and interdisciplinary perspectives. We invite scholars in history, literary and cultural studies, film and media studies, art or music history, and political science to submit proposals for individual presentations or panels. Papers with interdisciplinary methodology are particularly encouraged.
