Abstract
A clue to Steinberg’s methodology comes in a review essay he wrote for Volume 22 (1991) of The Austrian History Yearbook. With unflagging originality Steinberg reappraises virtually every category that has mattered to Austrian cultural historians since 1970. The grandest revision of all concerns a proposal to interpret “the entire process of the late-nineteenth century development of the Ringstrasse” as consummating the triumph not of bourgeois liberalism but of “a neobaroque ideological agenda”. Scholars of the Second Republic of Austria will want to inquire in what ways the ideology of neo-neobaroque lives on in today’s cultural politics, at both the national and regional levels. The very concept of Proporz in public life might seem to evoke the notion of a “harmonizing theatricality.”.
