Some of the key elements of Claudio Magris' work as an academic surface in his writings on Friedrich Hebbel: the Danubian space, Trieste, the intersection between literature and law, totality, the relationship between literary theory and practice, revisionism of classics, the recovery of historicism as a hermeneutical tool, the legacy of György Lukacs and Scipio Slataper. In Danubio (1989) and in "Davanti alla legge" (2009), Magris discusses Hebbel's Agnes Bernauer (1852) in terms of the power relations between the individual and the State, as a drama where history and chance work silently against the characters. The text captures Magris' attention by virtue of Hebbel's attempt to synthesize history and law in a tragic context. In 2009, Magris writes for Lorenza Rega's (re)translation of Hebbel's Tagebücher a short preface, which mainly focuses on Hebbel's reception in Italy. Slataper, a key figure in Magris' scientific writing, first translated the text to make Hebbel known to the general public. Hebbel's mentions constitute solid evidence of how Magris' work as a Germanist sustains both his prose and his politically engaged writing.

This study explores Karl Kraus' case against ministerial incentives for tourism enhancement. Kraus covers the overlapping between tourism and war propaganda, as he handles an apparently negligible cultural phenomenon as a symptom for collective spiritual decay. To Kraus, the governmental push to cultivate tourism serves as a diversion for Austrians after the economic uncertainty brought on by the Great War. A case study is made of all the occurrences of the theme in the Buchausgabe (1926) of the drama Die Letzten Tage der Menschheit, together with a selection of articles and glosses from Die Fackel (1899-1936).
