Remnants of the Habsburg Monarchy – The Shaping of Modern Austria and Hungary, 1918–1922
Inbunden, Engelska, 2001

Tillfälligt slut
This study examines the Austrian and Hungarian governments' attempts to stabilize their international, domestic and social conditions and legitimize themselves in the new European order after World War I. Austria and Hungary, as remnant states of the Austro-Hungarian empire and thus vanquished powers were in precarious straits. Conventional wisdom, which focuses on their subsequent descent into fascism, ignores the fact that both states achieved stability by 1922; this book focuses on that achievement.
Vampirettes, Wretches and Amazons – Western Representations of East European Women
Inbunden, Engelska, 2005

Tillfälligt slut
This collection traces some of the major patterns of representation of East European women in Western art and culture, drawing careful connections between these philosophical, artistic, and cultural constructions and actual historical, sociopolitical realities. The articles analyze a wide array of forms of representation-narrative, theater, opera, journalism, film, and media-over a period of two centuries, in order to demonstrate that certain stereotypical and simplistic views of East European women have long been perpetuated in the Western world. Furthermore, these essays assert that the treatment of women in a given society is directly linked to the ways in which they are seen and represented in the imagination and artistic constructions of that culture.
