SUMMARY:CES: Beyond the Siege: Cultural Traffic between Austrians and Turks in the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:<div><p>The 1683 Ottoman siege of Vienna has had a long and malleable cultural afterlife. Central Europeans have 're-written' the siege story in modern times to support Habsburg patriotism, Austrian republicanism, Polish nationalism of the nineteenth century, German nationalism of the twentieth, and post-1960 scares about Muslim immigration. This talk takes up one unexpected chapter in the story: In the 1920s, Turkey became a desired destination for unemployed Austrians. In job seekers’ accounts of their dreams and travails in “the Orient” we find a surprising reversal of the Gastarbeiter phenomenon.</p><p></p><p><a href="https://college.lclark.edu/live/profiles/152-maureen-healy">Maureen Healy </a>Associate Professor of History, Lewis &amp; Clark College</p><p>Sponsors: <a style="font-size: initial;" href="https://ces.fas.harvard.edu/studygroups/new-directions-in-european-history/">New Directions in European History Study Group</a></p></div><p></p><p>Contact: Elizabeth Cross, <a href="mailto:ecross@fas.harvard.edu">ecross@fas.harvard.edu</a></p>
