>Colonial Austria / Austria and the Overseas
>
>The Habsburg Empire's internal colonialism (e.g. in Galicia and elsewhere)
>has been subject of much investigation and debate. As Austria never
>acquired a colonial empire overseas, her reach into more distant colonial
>space has received far less scholarly attention. Nonetheless, Austria was
>part of a world that, since the so-called second era of exploration in the
>eighteenth century, was becoming increasingly global: emigration to
>colonial space, exploration, a global political outlook, an influx of
>overseas influences into domestic culture, colonial science and
>investigation in fields stretching from Geography to Ethnology
>characterised Austrian culture as much as the culture of other
>Central-European countries. The Habsburg family ruled over the first wave
>of colonial acquisition originating from the Iberian peninsula and
>provided Emperors for Latin-American countries in the nineteenth century;
>the Austrian frigate Novara circumnavigated the world between 1857 and
>1859 to gather colonial knowledge; Austrians contributed to the
>exploration and the commercial and political penetration of far-away
>regions (the catalogue of the exhibition Abenteuer Ostafrika (Eisenstadt
>1988) names twenty-four Austrians engaged in East Africa, amongst them the
>governor of the Sudanese province of Dar Fur, Rudolf Slatin). Similarly,
>post-colonial intellectual currents influenced Austrian culture and
>debates of more recent times. The proposed issue will be devoted to
>Austrian colonial cultures and the attendant discourses as they relate to
>overseas colonial space.
>
>In particular, we invite contributions on the following topics:
>ˇ Austrians and their overseas travels / Austrian travel
>writing;
>ˇ Austrian exoticisms / the exoticisation of domestic culture;
>ˇ the Austrian metropolis as a "contact zone" between the overseas
>and the local;
>ˇ colonial sciences in Austria / the institutionalisation and
>processing of colonial knowledge in the domestic realm (museums, academia,
>media);
>ˇ emigration (debates on conditions in receiving countries;
>activities of the Österreichische Aussiedlungsgesellschaft, est. 1933, and
>other such organisations);
>ˇ Austrian overseas politics and diplomacy / the politics of
>exploration, migration, settlement and commerce;
>ˇ literary, visual and musical reflections of colonial Austria;
>ˇ the literary and artistic discourse on Austrian activities in
>colonial space from a post-colonial perspective.
>
>For volume 20 of Austrian Studies (2012) we invite contributions on
>questions such as those mentioned above and on any other aspects relevant
>to the overall topic. In particular, we invite contributions that add to
>the knowledge of Austrian activities in the overseas and/or investigate
>colonial aspects of domestic Austrian culture using a post-colonial
>methodology. Proposals (no more than 200 words) should be sent to Florian
>Krobb ([log in to unmask]) by 1 June 2011.
>It is anticipated that the deadline for completed articles will be early
>December 2011.
