Abstract
This article analyses antisemitic elements in the Austrian print media discourse
about the 2008–2010 economic crisis. The relevant discursive statements are
examined in the light of a theoretical understanding of antisemitic discursive
threads as found in the prevalent modes of presentation of the economic and
financial crisis in the media. The first main finding is the broad avoidance of
openly antisemitic stereotypes, with the exception of the Neue Kronen
Zeitung. The second main finding is that structurally antisemitic
discursive elements appear above all where (a) specific groups ("high finance",
"financial sharks", "speculators") are singled out as the main culprits, (b)
these are opposed to a homogeneously constructed "us" (the
"Volk"), and (c) where the formers' greed is stressed and
where they are accused of harming the people. Here we find nationalistic and
latent antisemitic discourses, the stereotypical contrasting of finance and
production, conspiracy theories and anti-Americanism closely interwoven.

It is now almost 25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the fragmentation of the Soviet Union into a series of republics and the rejection of communist politics in much of the former Eastern Bloc. Seen by many as a victory for the capitalist West over the communist East, the geopolitics of this period was far more complicated than this. Across a series of essays and artist contributions, Red Africa explores the crosscurrents of international solidarity and friendship. The aesthetic experience of the works and the exhibition is also an invitation for the visitor to explore what Leila Ghandi and others have described as a politics of affective community. Red Africa is the culmination of a two-year research programme and exhibition project at Calvert 22, London, and Iwalewa House, Bayreuth. This traced the work of African artists and filmmakers who studied in the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc under free education schemes originally offered under the Third International, discontinued during Stalin's reign, then brought back during Khruschev's thaw. Connections were particularly strong with countries such as Mozambique, Ghana, Ethiopia and Angola that were conducting liberation struggles or which, post-independence, were part of the Non-Aligned Movement which held its first Summit conference in Belgrade in 1961. Red Africa is beautifully illustrated with film stills, artworks and archival images drawing on the extensive research of the contributing artists, researchers and curators. Contributors include Onejoon Che, Radovan Cukic and Ivan Manojlovic, Ros Gray, Ana Balona de Oliveira, Burt Cesar, Filipa Cesar, Angela Ferreira, Yevgenyi Fiks, Kiluanji Kia Henda, Isaac Julien, Alexander Markov, Jo Ratcliffe, Polly Savage, Nadine Siegert, Manuela Ribeiro Sanches, The Travelling Communique Group, Milica Tomic, Tonel and Vanessa Vasic-Janekovic.
