Austrian Studies 25
To mark its twenty-fifth issue, Austrian Studies examines practices and representations of celebration from 1750 to the present in the Habsburg Empire, the Austrian Republics and former areas of the Habsburg Empire. Festivities, festivals, anniversary celebrations and the ways in which they are organized and experienced, shed unique light on the culture that supports -- or is supported by -- such events. Celebrations constitute conscious, if temporary, departures from everyday life, moments of collective performance. Their potential is paradoxical in that they can either unsettle or confi rm existing narratives and identities, depending not only on why and how they are staged, but also on th...
