“…Es ist jedoch nicht klar, ob der in den Quellen anzutreffende Begriff »Vlache« national oder religiös zu verstehen war. 44 Don Modrčin antwortete den aufgeregten Menschen in Kriviput, dass er sich an das halten müsse, was ihm sein Bischof vorgeschrieben habe. Die Menschen wollten aber unbedingt verhindern, dass am Feiertag des Fronleichnams eine altslawische Messe in der Dorfkirche gelesen werden würde.…”

“…The reforms of 1896-97 attempted, for the very first time, to delimit ethnic groups for the purposes of provincial and imperial elections, through the construction of double or (in Bukovina) multiple networks of constituencies along ethnic lines and the drawing up of ethnically or linguistically separate voters' registers (the famed nationale Kataster) and in Moravia, the organization of elementary education on a strictly ethnically and linguistically separate basis -marking what Stourzh has termed the 'ethnicizing of Austrian politics'. 55 The primacy of ethnic divides not only tended to de-emphasize (and, to some extent, delegitimize) the traditional role afforded to the provinces and to the imperial government. This new-found primacy also 'reduced the position of the individual as citizen of the state, stressing, instead, the individual's role as a member of an ethnic group'.…”

Another Europe: remembering Habsburg Galicja

The past ten years have brought about a profound reordering of the spatial imaginary of Europe. It is a reordering, however, that continues to this day, and the tracing (symbolic as well as institutional) of the future ‘Eastern’ confine of the common European space remains a highly contested - and politically salient - issue. This paper examines one alternative geographical imaginary seeking to narrate and negate this emergent confine and its binary division of the European space by drawing upon the memory of the multinational Austro-Hungarian empire. In particular, I look to the ways in which the Habsburg myth is being adopted and articulated within the context of the erstwhile Austrian province of Galicja - now torn between the states of Poland and the Ukraine and straddling the probable future border of the European Union. Through an analysis of the spatial imaginary of the imperial Galicja felix, the paper attempts to trace the ways in which the Habsburg ideal of a liminal space of multinational coexistence is being resurrected in the present day in order to subvert the (national and soon supranational) borderlines cutting through these territories’ heart - and to argue for their reconceptualization as a wholly European border-space.

Ostarrîchi Revisited: The 1946 Anniversary, the Millennium, and the Medieval Roots of Austrian Identity

In1996,Austriawill celebrate its millennium. As in many other cases, the chronological justifications for the anniversary are open to question. Austria has never been “founded,” and certainly not one thousand years ago; its independence is the result of a process that took centuries and cannot be symbolized by a date like July 4 in the United States. Austria's national holiday, October 26, marks the date in 1955 when the Austrian parliament voted permanent neutrality and the last of the Allied occupation troops left the country. Nobody, it is true, would doubt that Austria's history stretches back considerably before 1955, 1945 (the foundation of the Second Republic), 1918 (the birth of the First), or even 1804 (when the Habsburg emperor Francis I declared himself emperor of Austria after the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire). Nothing comparable happened in 996. In a charter dated November 1, 996, Emperor Otto III granted some land at Neuhofen, in the west of the modern province of Lower Austria, to the bishop of Freising. Even the exact date of the charter—whose original has survived—has not always been accepted, for the seal it carries was Henry II's, whose reign began in 1002. Recently, some scholars have even tried to prove, although not very successfully, that it was a forgery.
