Despite the substantial scholarly interest in Austrian intellectual history during the past decade, what we have learned about Austrian intellectual life remains isolated from our received models of Central European German culture. Scholars who study Austrian philosophy and literature are inclined to emphasize the "diachronic constants" of an intellectual tradition that is unfamiliar to most students of German philosophy, literature, and history. Histories of German philosophy in the nineteenth century frequently ignore key Austrian figures altogether; major literary figures, such as Grillparzer or Stifter, are often regarded as peripheral in discussions of German literature; and political historians continue to imagine German history in terms of Prussia and the achievements of Bismarck. Thus, our knowledge of the German culture of the Habsburg Monarchy or of Vienna at the turn of the century still has not been brought into relation to a model of German culture that is dominated by Northern, Protestant, and idealist traditions. The relations within this wider realm of German culture are far too complex to submit to easy summary, and any honest attempt at empiricism confronts a staggering mass of potential evidence, even in the case of the more limited question of the influence of North German culture in nineteenth-century Austria.

In any academic institution two action levels with regards to school organization can be found. On the one hand, the macro-political level basically concerned with educative legislation and how these rule educative institutions. On the other hand, the micro-political level concerning school priorities. Along this book chapter we will provide a research based on how the macro and the micro political levels should handle together. Hence, we will basically provide an updated theoretical framework focusing on the most relevant trends. Moreover, we will keep on with a deep analysis of how stakeholders and active agents promote and develop curricular prescriptions. Finally, we will analyze and discuss how far the implementation of educative principles contributes to enhance the students' interests and assumes their needs for a better teaching-learning process. ; W każdej instytucji akademickiej można znaleźć dwa poziomy pracy nad organizacją szkoły. Jest to poziom makropolityki skupiony na legislacji edukacyjnej i jej wdrażaniu w instytucjach edukacyjnych, a także poziom mikropolityki i priorytetów szkolnych. W pracy zaprezentowano badania dotyczące współdziałania makro- i mikropolityki. Autorzy przedstawili zaktualizowane ramy teoretyczne dotyczące najistotniejszych trendów. Ponadto ukazano promocję i rozwój programów nauczania poprzez wykorzystanie interesariuszy i aktywistów. Przeprowadzono analizę i dyskusję dotyczącą implementacji zasad edukacyjnych przyczyniających się do rozszerzenia zainteresowań uczniów oraz realizowania ich potrzeb w procesie nauczania – uczenia się.

Die Verzahnung von Fernsehen und Pop(kultur) wurde von der Forschung bislang vernachlässigt. Dabei bedient sich das Fernsehen schon früh popästhetischer Verfahren – und Musiker, Künstler sowie Literaten nutzen bereits seit den 1960ern das Fernsehen für eigene Inszenierungsstrategien, um einer maroden Hochkultur mit einer mediensouveränen Popästhetik zu begegnen. Der Band schließt die Forschungslücke und geht den historischen und ästhetischen Berührungspunkten von TV und Pop nach. Neben einzelnen Pop-Akteuren (Warhol, Schlingensief, Neumeister, Kracht) widmen sich die interdisziplinären Beiträge auch aktuell diskutierten, popaffinen Genres und Entwicklungen (z.B. Poetry Slams, Scripted Reality Soaps, Videoclips sowie Popfeminismus)

This article traces evolving perceptions in Australia of France and the French Pacific from the 19th century to the present day. In particular, it looks at the considerable changes that have taken place since the 1980s to the present: nuclear testing, self-determination in France's Pacific territories (particularly New Caledonia), memory of war, joint military operations, new strategic partnership, culture.

My project traces the evolution of the Zapotec cultural practice of guelaguetza, an indigenous sharing system of collaboration and exchange in Mexico, from pre-Columbian and colonial times to the present. Ironically, the term "guelaguetza" was appropriated by the Mexican government in the twentieth century to promote an annual dance festival in the city of Oaxaca that has little to do with the actual meaning of the indigenous tradition. My analysis of Zapotec-language alphabetic sources from the Central Valley of Oaxaca, written from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, reveals that Zapotecs actively participated in the sharing system during this long period of transformation. My project demonstrates that the Zapotec sharing economy functioned to build and reinforce social networks among households in Zapotec communities. I argue that guelaguetza enabled communities of the Central Valley of Oaxaca to survive the trauma of conquest, depopulation, and external demands for local resources. Zapotecs relied on the system to maintain control of valuable community resources, such as property, labor, and agricultural goods. My project also examines the system of guelaguetza from a transnational perspective by considering how it continues to function effectively for Zapotecs outside of Oaxaca, in other parts of Mexico and in the United States, especially in California. The project utilizes a range of unpublished archival sources from Mexico, Spain, and the United States, including Spanish- and Zapotec-language legal documents, municipal records, and chronicles. Finally, I incorporate Mexican literature from the early twentieth century, and modern ethnographic observations from Oaxaca and California.

In the early decades of the twentieth century, engagement with science was commonly used as an emblem of modernity. This phenomenon is now attracting increasing attention in different historical specialties. Being Modern builds on this recent scholarly interest to explore engagement with science across culture from the end of the nineteenth century to approximately 1940.

Addressing the breadth of cultural forms in Britain and the western world from the architecture of Le Corbusier to working class British science fiction, Being Modern paints a rich picture. Seventeen distinguished contributors from a range of fields including the cultural study of science and technology, art and architecture, English culture and literature examine the issues involved. The book will be a valuable resource for students, and a spur to scholars to further examination of culture as an interconnected web of which science is a critical part, and to supersede such tired formulations as 'Science and culture'.
