For a millennium, Austrian writers have used images of Europe and its hegemonic culture as their political and cultural reference points. Yet in discussions of Europe's nation-states, Austria appears only as an afterthought, no matter that its precursor states-the Holy Roman Empire, the Austrian Empire, and Austria Hungary-represented a globalized European cultural space outside the dominant paradigm of nationalist colonialism. Austrian writers today confront reunited Europe in full acknowledgment of Austro-Hungary's multicultural heritage, which mixes various nationalities, ethnicities, and cultural forms, including ancestors from the Balkans and beyond. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChallenging standard accounts of 18th- through 20th-century European imperial identity construction, \u003ci\u003eVienna's Dreams of Europe\u003c\/i\u003e introduces a group of Austrian public intellectuals and authors who have since the 18th century construed their own public as European. Working in different terms than today's theorist-critics of the hegemonic West, Katherine Arens posits a political identity resisting two hundred years of European nationalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Arens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441170219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441170217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Katherine Arens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906766557439,"sku":"9781441170217","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ce84cd4-db30-44c5-b7f8-b776ee45a93f.jpg?v=1748771361","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/viennas-dreams-of-europe-katherine-arens-9781441170217","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
