  • "Musil Knew Little about Hungary"

    Frank TrommlerARTICLEJournal of Austrian Studies2021

    Taking William Johnston's statement "Musil knew little about Hungary" as a point of departure, this article addresses the neglect of the Hungarian factor in assessing the culture(s) of Austria-Hungary. That a French observer of the World Exhibition in 1900 connected the two parts under the heading of "Danubian modernity" indicates the interplay between the international intentions of Viennese Secessionism and the folkloric dynamic of a nationally…

  • Abschied von der Kulturmacht

    Frank TrommlerARTICLEGeschichte und Gesellschaft2019

    When in the 1980s German diplomats in Washington learned that the U. S. government was planning to build aNationalHolocaustMuseum, they panicked, fearing that it would have a devastating impact on the image of the Federal Republic of Germany. This article analyzes their lament at being forced to address theHolocaust after several decades of relative silence by detailing the strategies that the Foreign Ministry employed to avoid confronting the Na…

    Frank TrommlerBOOKKulturmacht Ohne Kompass2013

    Deutschlands Weltmachtambitionen wurden im 20. Jahrhundert von einer vielstimmigen Mobilisierung deutscher Kultur begleitet, die neben einer großen Anzahl ästhetischer Innovationen auch barbarische Exzesse zeitigte. Frank Trommler unternimmt zum ersten Mal eine zusammenhängende Darstellung dieser Mobilisierung seit 1900 in ihrem Wechselverhältnis mit Frankreich, Großbritannien, Italien, Polen, der Sowjetunion und den USA

  • Berlin and Vienna

    Frank TrommlerARTICLEGerman Politics & Society2005

    This article is a discussion of the relationship of Berlin and Vienna as cultural capitals. It acknowledges the distinctive Austrian cultural and intellectual traditions yet is based on the realization that the unique achievements and traditions as well as the public standing of these two cities can only be fully understood within the larger confines of German culture where they constituted a polarity, effectively confirming its diverse and regio…

    Open AccessChristof Mauch, David Lazar et al.BOOKIdentity and Intolerance1998

    In a world of increasingly heterogeneous societies, matters of identity politics and the links between collective identities and national, racial, or ethnic intolerance have assumed dramatic significance - and have stimulated an enormous body of research and literature which rarely transcends the limitations of a national perspective, however, and thus reproduces the limitations of its own topic. Comparative attempts are rare, if not altogether a…

  • The Avant-Garde and Technology

    Open AccessFrank TrommlerARTICLEScience in Context1995

    The Argument The avant-garde's fascination with technology around 1900 grew out of several motivations: to shock the antitechnological bourgeois public; to experience a sense of mastery toward the material world, especially with cars, airplanes, and other machines; and to overcome the nineteenth-century separation of art and technology. The article highlights the radical shifts in the perception of technology that correspond with the emerging han…

Dieser Band versucht, mit einer aktuellen Bestandsaufnahme zugleich etwas von den andersgearteten Tradi tionen und Bedingungen der Disziplin in den Vereinigten Staaten erkennbar zu machen.
