| Abstract (croatian) | U članku se donosi pregled razvoja i stanja istraživanja teme koja je postupno od 1960-
ih godina u svjetskoj historiografiji dobivala na značenju. Osim toga, raspravljaju se
važnost, snaga i domet argumentacije te slabosti ključnih teza u međugeneracijskom
odnosu. Posebno snažan utjecaj pronalazi se u angloameričkoj školi usmjerenoj
prema istraživanju habsburških studija. Problemski kompleksi koji su otvoreni
propitivanjem kulturnog i intelektualnog života Beča ukazali su isprva na potrebu
disciplinski široko postavljenih istraživanja. Pritom se razvilo nekoliko istraživačkih paradigmi koje su metodologije određenih historijskih poddisciplina približile i
dalje razvijale, ali i interpretativnih modela koji su se od 1980-ih komplementarno
razvijali ili kritički dekonstruirali. Autor unosi sistematizaciju pojedinih pristupa,
doprinosa i metodoloških inovacija vezanih uz temu te nudi vrednovanje i stanje
istraživanja. Pored toga, u članku se analizira tematsko i metodološko isprepletanje
utjecaja američke i austrijske historiografije te određena razilaženja. |
| Abstract (english) | The author provides a basic overview of the development and an analysis of
the state of research on the topic of fin de siècle Vienna within the framework of
professional historiography. In doing so, it is noted that the topic has gradually
developed since the 1960s, evolving from the initial synthetic studies of the history
of the Habsburg Monarchy seen as a whole. At the time, various transformations in
American historiography were also reflected in a different conceptualization of fin
de siècle Vienna, linking artistic and intellectual elites with urban and state policies in a variety of methodologically dictated approaches, ranging from political
history to social, intellectual and cultural history. The significant contributions of
several generations of American (and British) historians are compared to different
approaches within Austrian historiography, analysing perspectives, arguments
and critiques of key conceptions. In addition to the important multidisciplinary
influences of prominent American historians like William M. Johnston, Carl E.
Schorske, Allan Janik or Steven Beller between the 1970s and early 2000s, it is
notable that several different parallel complexes of problems were opened that
had not initially been directly considered as crucial to the topic (the role of Jews
in Vienna at the turn of the century, marginal groups, critical modernism, etc.). In
doing so, several research paradigms were developed that brought the methodologies of certain historical sub-disciplines closer and further refined them, but also
interpretive models that were complementary or critically deconstructed. At the
same time, there was a need for comparative analysis, which William Johnston
had already begun, covering both Prague and Budapest in his book The Austrian
Mind. In contrast, more contemporary approaches attempted to reconstruct and
deconstruct fin de siècle Vienna as a model, suggesting an entire range of parallel
multiple modernities in other Habsburg urban centres at around 1900. The paper
introduces a systemization of individual approaches, contributions and methodological innovations related to the topic and offers an evaluation and presentation
the state of research in American and Austrian historiography |
