Compulsory Education and Identities in the Habsburg Empire
In 1884, Janez Trdina — a retired history teacher, a reasonably popular writer, and a Slovene nationalist activist — published a series of ethnographic reports about the peasant inhabitants of Lower Carniola. In one, he pointed out to the educated readers of the magazine Slovan (The Slav) that the Lower Carniolans were still not very familiar “with their own national name.” Apparently, they still often referred to all Slavs as Slovenci , even tho…
Polylingual Nationalism in East-Central Europe and the Balkans: Reviving a Forgotten History
Polylingual nationalism refers to national concepts that imagine more than one language as integral to the titular national community. In East-Central Europe and the Balkans, polylingual nationalism has not been a focus of comparative or theoretical research, since nationalist historiographies have instead emphasized the link between nations and languages, conflating linguistic revival efforts with the so-called “national revival” of the 19th cen…
Ni več mogoče zdržati!« Prehrana avstro-ogrskih vojakov na avstrijsko-italijanski fronti
The nutrition of soldiers on the battlefield has always represented a great challenge for the supply and support branch of the military. Inadequate food left soldiers physically weak but also dispirited. The food supply for the Austro-Hungarian soldiers on the Austro-Italian front mostly failed to keep up with the demand, so they were often hungry, especially after 1916. An analysis of the soldiers’ diaries, memoirs, and letters provides an insig…
A Cacophony of Classifications: Education and Identification in a Prenational Empire
The article seeks to fill a gap in existing scholarship on explicit and implicit linguistic, ethnic, and national classifications in Habsburg schools and their effects. It attempts to reconstruct the classifications that appeared in textbooks and other teaching materials as well as in daily practice, pupils’ exposure to them, and their engagement with these categories. Temporally, the study begins with the establishment of compulsory education (1…

Jiří Hutečka. Men Under Fire: Motivation, Morale, and Masculinity Among Czech Soldiers in the Great War, 1914–1918
Men Under Fire is a significantly expanded and updated version of Jiří Hutečka’s Czech-language study Muži proti ohni: motivace, morálka a mužnost českých vojáků Velké války 1914–1918 (Prague, 2016). It analyzes the frontline experiences of Czech-speaking soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian armed forces during the First World War. This under-researched topic has also been beset by nationalist mythology. Despite recent studies by Ivan Šedivý, Rudolf …
Ethnic boxes: The unintended consequences of Habsburg bureaucratic classification
The classificatory efforts that accompanied the modernization of the Habsburg state inadvertently helped establish, promote, and perpetuate national categories of identification, often contrary to the intentions of the Habsburg bureaucracy. The state did not create nations, but its classification of languages made available some ethnolinguistic identity categories that nationalists used to make political claims. The institutionalization of these …

Inadequate food not only left soldiers physically weak but also dispirited.
