Unsettling settler colonialism
In this article, we compare the little-studied eighteenth-century forced removal of Romani children in Central Europe under Habsburg monarchs Maria Theresa and Joseph II, with the ‘Stolen Generations’, the Indigenous children forcibly taken into state custody in Australia from the late nineteenth century. Both unfolded in periods of state-building, aimed to ‘bioculturally eliminate’ the targeted population, and deployed equally extreme methods. T…
Engaging with Oral Community Language Collections in Australia
Exhibiting History
This article explores online, authentic assessment simulating object-based learning (OBL) as a site for public history. Students produced a museum audio guide and written label contextualising examples of fascist material culture, displayed in a virtual museum. Practitioners at the Sydney Jewish Museum, and course content, modelled the broader historical analysis skills of OBL. A selection of the resulting work will be included in an online teach…
Ethnophotography, Nation Branding, and National Competition in Transylvania
Scholars have treated images from the golden age of Transylvanian photography, recently elevated to prominence through the digitization of archives, as “authentic” portrayals of peasant culture. However, Hungarian, Romanian, and Saxon nationalists in Transylvania utilized photographs to brand place and nation in the global market, as well as to make claims to territory and assert competing national hierarchies. I examine here Saxon historian, fol…
‘So, mein Deutsch ist schlecht … ’
Family language policy research often neglects the dynamic nature of FLP over time. Here, we interview second generation members of migrant families for their recollections as heritage language learners and their experiences setting their own FLP towards their children. We use a transdisciplinary oral history/narrative methodology to discern oscillating attitudes concerning language maintenance and acquisition as a function of changing societal a…
Pan-German or Pan-Saxon? Framing Transylvanian-Saxon Particularism on Both Sides of the Atlantic
From the mid-19th century, Transylvanian Saxons were subject to attempts to frame their particularism within two overarching pan-nationalisms: pan-Germanism and pan-Saxonism. While both lacked support before the First World War, from the interwar period pan-Germanism become important in Transylvania and pan-Saxonism among the large Transylvanian-Saxon diaspora in America. This interwar success, despite the failure of both before the war, highligh…
A most picturesque mass of rags’
Davis examines descriptions of Romani costume in travel narratives written by predominantly British writers visiting Hungary, believed to be the site of especially ‘pure’ Romani culture, during the long nineteenth century. Travel descriptions provided key sources of information on the peoples of East Europe, for the British public, authors of popular fiction and Gipsiologists alike. However, most travellers spent little time with Roma. Consequent…
Hospitality networks, British travel writers, and the dissemination of competing Transylvanian claims to civilization, 1830s–1930s
Hungarian, Saxon, and Romanian nationalist activists in Transylvania disseminated competing claims to “Westernness” by swaying visiting British travel writers' descriptions through hospitality networks that guided what writers saw and heard, assuring that travelers favored the nationalists' classifications of the region's ethnicities. Although the qualities British travelers valued varied depending on individual differences and intellectual curre…
Competitive Civilizing Missions
This article examines writings on the Zigeuner (“Gypsies”) by three prominent Hungarian-German scholars—Johann Schwicker, Anton Herrmann, and Heinrich von Wlislocki—as responses to Magyarization pressures, which divided Hungarian-Germans by threatening the traditional privileges of some while offering others opportunities for social advancement. Hungarian and German elites alike cast Zigeuner as primitive Naturvölker in an effort to legitimize re…
Maintaining a “German” home in Southeast Europe
In the interwar period, Transylvanian Saxons looked to models from the metropole by which to reform the Saxon community and reinforce their social standing relative to other ethnicities in Transylvania. In doing so, they were influenced by the ongoing debate in Germany over the "national character" of the German family. Saxon social reformers treated the metropolitan family as a prescriptive model providing a safe path to modernity that could be …
