The Belvedere: 300 Years a Venue for Art
Anniversary publication of the Belvedere The Belvedere in Vienna epitomizes the changes that have taken place over the course of three centuries in the concept of what constitutes a museum. Originally built by Prince Eugene of Savoy to enhance his prestige as a prince, under Maria Theresa, the Upper Belvedere became one of the world’s first public museums. The idea of presenting Austrian art in an international context, which in 1903 motivated the establishment of the Modern Gallery in the Lower Belvedere, remains the key objective of this world-famous cultural institution. In this critical homage, renowned authors explore enduring questions that transcend the different epochs, such as : W...
Transnational and Transatlantic Perspectives on the Balkans, 1850–1918
This book considers the position and historiography of the western Balkans in modern Europe. It challenges the linear narrative that the region was 'Europeanised' in the twentieth century - that is, brought into a wider fold of European countries through political, social and cultural exchanges. Instead, it develops the concept of a 'European Orient' to highlight how the position of the western Balkans shifted in the European imagination during this period. It investigates specific examples of cultural encounters involving travellers and migrants between South-east Europe and the West, and situates these developments in the context of nineteenth- and twentieth-century geopolitics. In doing so, it shows how European scholars as well as US-migrants from South-east Europe constructed a historiography of the region, and will be of interest to historians interested in the Balkans in particular and south-eastern Europe in general.
Music and Postwar Transitions in the 19th and 20th Centuries
"Music and Postwar Transitions in the 19th and 20th Centuries is the first book to highlight the significance of the idea of 'postwar transition' in the field of music and to demonstrate how the contribution of musicians, composers, and their publics have influenced contemporary understandings of war. At the intersection of four domains including: the relationship between music and war culture, commemorative and consolatory dimensions of music, migration and exile, and the links between music, cultural diplomacy, and propaganda, leading historians, political scientists, psychologists, and musicologists explore disruptions and connections to music through the backdrop of war. In turn, this volume sheds new light on what has been a blind spot in a growing historiography"--

Das Belvedere. 300 Jahre Ort der Kunst
Jubiläumspublikation des Belvedere Am Wiener Belvedere lässt sich der Wandel des Museumsbegriffs über drei Jahrhunderte exemplarisch nachvollziehen. Ursprünglich durch Prinz Eugen von Savoyen als Gartenpalais zum Zwecke fürstlicher Repräsentation errichtet, wurde das Obere Belvedere unter Maria Theresia zu einem der ersten öffentlich zugänglichen Museen weltweit. Österreichische Kunst im internationalen Kontext zu zeigen, wie es die Gründungsidee der 1903 im Unteren Belvedere eingerichteten Modernen Galerie vorsah, stellt bis heute ein programmatisches Anliegen der renommierten Kultureinrichtung dar. Die in dieser kritischen Hommage versammelten Beiträge namhafter Autor:innen gehe...

Vienna 1900
"Vienna, 1900: the heart of the vast Austro-Hungarian Empire and a city populated with people from across the Imperial territories - stretching from central Europe to the Crown lands that reached far into Southeastern Europe. This was a dynamic capital brimming with economic and cultural prosperity; a centre that was fertile ground for the revolutionary artistic practices that emerged at the end of the nineteenth century and the backdrop to this fascinating new study. Gustav Klimt's election as the first President of the Secession Artists' Association in 1897 formalised the rejection of conservatism and heralded a celebration of the innovative and the modern. Alongside Klimt, Egon Schiele an...
