"Habsburg Homefronts"
Workshop im Schloss Rothschild (Reichenau a.d. Rax)
27.-29. Oktober 2015
This workshop brings together an international group of some 20 historians to
discuss their research on a topic that has heretofore received relatively little
attention: Habsburg home fronts during the First World War. These historians,
who range from advanced graduate students to full professors, will be joined by
a number of senior specialists to discuss their presentations and place them in
comparative context. This cutting-edge work, much of it based on previously
unused or underused, archival materials, helps blur the long-held distinction
between fighting fronts and home fronts. Among the issues the participants will
address are gender, national indifference, transnationalism, and organized
violence. Their interdisciplinary work places them at the cutting edge of the
cultural, gender, and social history of the war.
The workshop is open to the public, but due to limited space a registration is
required until October 20, 2015 ([email protected]).
