Veröffentlichungen des Instituts Wiener Kreis, Volume 12
The volume presents a unique cross-section of contemporary research in
the broad field of migration and exile studies. Its particular focus is
on the manner in which ideas, methodologies, scholarship and
innovation, developed in German-speaking Europe, were transferred to
Britain and the USA after 1933. The transformative effect of this
exodus of talent upon the host cultures, and the corresponding impact
of the host cultures upon the refugees, helped produce the
groundbreaking work of German-speaking refugees in diverse areas. The
essays include surveys of the contributions of exiles to academic
disciplines and to art and design, and fresh examinations of the work
of prominent refugees like Wittgenstein, as well as less well known
figures such as Nina Rubinstein and Gaby Schreiber.
