The Institute of Austrian Historical Research (Institut für Österreichische Geschichtsforschung, Universität Wien) would like to invite you to its annual conference organized in cooperation with the Collegium Hungaricum.

Re-Reading the Habsburg Monarchy. New approaches between Empire, State, and the Global

Jahrestagung 2022 des IÖG (Universität Wien)

The history of the Habsburg monarchy has turned into a lively and vibrant research field, as historians take the transformation of Habsburg rule and its capacity for political and social integration in multiple directions drawing on diverse sets of theoretical and conceptual tools. Not least, social and political theory as well concepts from cultural studies have mapped the exploration of the Habsburg Monarchy as a political system which can also be, provocatively, referred to as an unidentified political object. Jacques Delors‘ 1985 prediction of what a future Europe with only low-level integration might look like, offers a useful characterisation of the challenges that continue to face the historian of the Habsburg monarchy, and the four key historiographical ambitions of our conference:

1. How can we conceptually grapple with the Habsburg monarchy’s complex (and changing) forms of governance and politics? The conceptual binary between empire and nation state has proven an inadequate conceptual framing for this task. Can we open the conceptual black box of these two categories and develop a more differentiated understanding of the Habsburg state?

2. How integrated was the Habsburg monarchy? Was it able to respond to political, social, cultural, and economic change with constitutional, political and legal instruments to foster integration? How can we locate and assess the politics of difference within this framework?

3. The history of governance and even the constitutional history of the Habsburg monarchy features a lot of claims about sovereignty. James Sheehan characterizes sovereignty as a „basket of claims“. Does this definition help us inquire into claims of sovereignty within the wider framework of politics as claim making (Keith Barker)? Even if we just consider the crown land of Bohemia‘s relationship to its traditional prerogatives in a time of modern statehood and mass mobilization, it is easy to see complex semantic status. Can we unravel sovereignty in ways that help us understand the logic of claim making in the political transformation of the 19th century?

4. If we open the blackbox of empire and nation-state can we identify forms of governance, organizational and constitutional underpinnings of power? How is power maintained under the conditions of significant change in the gestalt of the state and its relation to civil society? For example, does Michael Mann’s concept of infrastructural power help us? What conceptual tools can we use to describe, also from a comparative perspective, the ways in which the Habsburg monarchy – and the complex political system it manifested-- could engage with the sea-change in society and politics?
