Why has identity become so central to judging art today? Why are some groups reluctant to defend free speech within culture? Has state support made artists poorer not richer? How does the movement for social justice influence cultural production? Why is Post-Modernism dominant in the art world? Why are consumers of comic books so bitterly divided?In Culture War: Art, Identity Politics and Cultural Entryism Alexander Adams examines a series of pressing issues in today's culture: censorship, Islamism, Feminism, identity politics, historical reparations and public arts policy.

This thesis examines constructs of Österreichertum promoted by Austrian conservatism in the years 1918-38. It is an interdisciplinary examination of political discourse, as well as of intellectual and literary formulations of Austrian identity. It considers why, in the majority of cases, the idea of Austrian nationhood was rejected in the inter-war era, and explores the Austro-German synthesis of identity that acted as a substitute for an independent national consciousness. The work focuses on the personality and politics of Ignaz Seipel; the Ständestaat regime and Vaterländische Front; the Heimatschutz and the legitimists; and literary and historical constructs of Austrian identity. Among these last constructs can be found those few publicists of the period who affirmed the existence of an Austrian nation. Their ideas did not bear fruit until after World War II, when Austrian political leaders took the country on the path to independent nationhood.

The author points out that the politics of identity covers a vast area of political and social theory, but in simple terms it is concerned with the politics of constructing individual and collective identities through the exclusion, control or normalization of differences. He explores Japan's position on human rights issues in the Asia-Pacific region by moving beyond the conventional framework of universal versus particular values. The author also discusses some Japanese examples of the politics of rights and identity. (DÜI-Sen)
