The community's legal status was transformed following the emancipation of Austrian Jews, but very few first-hand accounts of these changes exist today. The primary sources analyzed in this paper are Judezmo-language newspapers published in Vienna at that time. The paper emphasizes the historical and political contexts surrounding these sources, particularly the community's close ties to the Ottoman and Habsburg regimes.}, language = {en} } @misc{CorbettSiegelThulinetal.2024, author = {Corbett, Tim and Siegel, Bj{\"o}rn and Thulin, Mirjam and Cs{\´a}ky, Moritz and H{\"o}dl, Klaus and Kasper-Marienberg, Verena and Berkovich, Ilya and Czakai, Johannes and Maślak-Maciejewska, Alicja and Stechauner, Martin and Dodou, Lida-Maria and Heimann-Jelinek, Felicitas and Nasr, Omar T. and Halbinger, Monika and J{\´a}noš{\´i}kov{\´a}, Magdal{\´e}na and Keßler, Katrin and Kauders, Anthony D. and Piskačov{\´a}, Zora and Arnold, Rafael D. and Schulz, Michael K. and Shapira, Elena and Sidky, Sean and Sun, Cheuk Him Ryan and Tirosh-Samuelson, Hava and Tusan, Michelle Elizabeth and Weigand, Susanne}, title = {Intersections between Jewish Studies and Habsburg Studies}, series = {PaRDeS : Journal of the Association for Jewish Studies in Germany}, journal = {PaRDeS : Journal of the Association for Jewish Studies in Germany}, number = {29}, editor = {Siegel, Bj{\"o}rn and Thulin, Mirjam and Corbett, Tim and Czendze, Oskar}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-574-3}, issn = {1614-6492}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-62207}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-622072}, pages = {202}, year = {2024}, abstract = {In the aftermath of the Shoah and the ostensible triumph of nationalism, it became common in historiography to relegate Jews to the position of the "eternal other" in a series of binaries: Christian/Jewish, Gentile/Jewish, European/Jewish, non-Jewish/Jewish, and so forth. For the longest time, these binaries remained characteristic of Jewish historiography, including in the Central European context. Assuming instead, as the more recent approaches in Habsburg studies do, that pluriculturalism was the basis of common experience in formerly Habsburg Central Europe, and accepting that no single "majority culture" existed, but rather hegemonies were imposed in certain contexts, then the often used binaries are misleading and conceal the complex and sometimes even paradoxical conditions that shaped Jewish life in the region before the Shoah. The very complexity of Habsburg Central Europe both in synchronic and diachronic perspective precludes any singular historical narrative of "Habsburg Jewry," and it is not the intention of this volume to offer an overview of "Habsburg Jewish history." The selected articles in this volume illustrate instead how important it is to reevaluate categories, deconstruct historical narratives, and reconceptualize implemented approaches in specific geographic, temporal, and cultural contexts in order to gain a better understanding of the complex and pluricultural history of the Habsburg Empire and the region as a whole.}, language = {en} }
