Beskrivning
Catherine Horel has undertaken a comparative analysis of the societal, ethnic, and cultural diversity in the last decades of the Habsburg Monarchy as represented in twelve cities: Arad, Bratislava, Brno, Chernivtsi, Lviv, Oradea, Rijeka, Sarajevo, Subotica, Timișoara, Trieste, and Zagreb. By purposely selecting these cities, the author aims to counter the disproportionate attention that the largest cities in the empire receive. With a focus on the aspects of everyday life faced by the city inhabitants (associations, schools, economy, and municipal politics) the book avoids any idealization of the monarchy as a paradise of peaceful multiculturalism, and also avoids exaggerating conflicts. The author claims that the world of the Habsburg cities was a dynamic space where many models coexisted and created vitality, emulation, and conflict. Modernization brought about the dissolution of old structures, but also mobility, the progress of education, the explosion of associative life, and constantly growing cultural offerings.

Recensioner i media

"Volumul de faţă reprezintă o cercetare de istorie culturală, confesională, economică şi socio-politică relevantă în scrisul istoric naţional şi universal asupra imagologiei moderne a urbanismului Imperiului Austro-Ungar prin analiza interdisciplinară, care îmbină armonios concepte, metode şi teme din mai multe discipline. Argumentaţia captivantă, comparativă şi concisă, dar şi cunoaşterea şi aplicarea temeinică a istoriografiei problemei, fac ca demersul semnat de Catherine Horel să merite atenţia specialiştilor şi a publicului larg deoarece pot înţelege mai clar nu doar evoluţia multiculturală a teritoriilor monarhice, ci şi identitatea oraşelor în care s-au născut, trăiesc sau cu care au avut eventual un contact mai mult sau mai puţ intangenţial."https://www.ceeol.com/search/viewpdf
