After the collapse of the Habsburg Empire and the sanctioning of new national borders in 1920, the successor states faced the controversial task of reconceptualizing the idea of national territory. Images of historically significant landscapes played a crucial role in this process. Employing the concept of mental maps, this article explores how such images shaped the connections between place, memory, and landscape in Hungary and Czechoslovakia. Hungarian revisionist publications demonstrate how Hungarian nationalists visualized the organic integrity of "Greater Hungary," while also implicitly adapting historical memory to the new geopolitical situation. As a counterpoint, images of the Váh region produced in interwar Czechoslovakia reveal how an opposing political agenda gave rise to a different imagery, while drawing on shared cultural traditions from the imperial past. Finally, the case study of Dévény/Devín/Theben shows how the idea of being positioned "between East and West" lived on in overlapping but politically opposed mental maps in the interwar period. By examining the cracks and continuities in the picturesque landscape tradition after 1918, the article offers new insight into the similarities and differences of nation-building processes from the perspective of visual culture.

In the 1980s, when computers became affordable for private households, a hacker or cracking scene, which was the term used by members of this subculture, developed in several western and northwestern European countries. These (almost exclusively male) groups of adolescents 'cracked', copied and exchanged computer games. On the basis of magazines and published interviews with former members of this scene, this article shows how cracking became an important current in the broad spectrum of teenage subculture – with specific ethical codes and rituals of masculinity. Its members were by no means lone specialists who eschewed contact with the outside world, but rather developed their own forms of community and communication. This scene did not construe itself as a political counter-culture; it was rather part of the diversifying popular and consumer culture of the 1980s. In the early 1990s, when law enforcing agencies began to prosecute software piracy more resolutely, this computer subculture began to fade. However, it lived on in the field of computer graphics, in electronic music and in the growing IT sector. ; In den 1980er-Jahren, als Computer auch für den privaten Gebrauch erschwinglich wurden, entstand in mehreren west- und nordeuropäischen Ländern eine "Hacker"- oder (der damaligen Selbstbezeichnung folgend) "Cracking"-Szene, die Computerspiele kopierte und tauschte. Anhand von Magazinen und publizierten Interviews der Akteure wird gezeigt, dass diese Szene zu einer wichtigen Strömung im Spektrum jugendlicher Subkulturen wurde – mit spezifischen Leitbildern und (Männlichkeits-)Ritualen. Ihre Mitglieder waren nicht etwa einsame Nerds, sondern entwickelten eigene Gemeinschafts- und Kommunikationsformen. Diese Szene verstand sich nicht als eine politische Gegenkultur; sie war vielmehr Teil der sich ausdifferenzierenden Populär- und Konsumkultur der 1980er-Jahre. Ab etwa 1990, als Software-Piraterie stärker verfolgt wurde, trat die Computer-Subkultur in den Hintergrund, wirkte jedoch nach – im Bereich der Computergrafik, in der elektronischen Musik und der wachsenden IT-Branche.

Cette étude présente des preuves démographiques que la défense de la santé publique, par le maintien du niveau de vie, fut une des conditions nécessaires de la victoire militaire des Alliés pendant la Grande guerre. L'analyse des statistiques de mortalité parmi les civils confirme ce contraste entre les deux adversaires. L'explication de cette distinction se trouve dans le fait que les Alliés ont réussi à maintenir leur niveau de vie, tandis que les Pouvoirs Centraux ne l'ont pas. L'économie politique des Alliés a réussi à équilibrer les besoins civils et militaires. Les Allemands ont fondé le premier "military-industrial complex" qui a appauvri la population. En 1918, cette situation a commencé à être insupportable, après que tout espoir de victoire militaire fut perdu. Le résultat fut la débâcle domestique et la défaite militaire.
