The purpose of this
web site is to establish an interactive electronic
framework in which to examine the diversity,
productivity, and central themes of Viennese culture
around 1900. "Vienna 1900" attempts to analyze Vienna and
its cultural currents as the prototype of a highly
interactive and multi-disciplinary intellectual
environment. The site thus functions as a research and
teaching platform with three distinct but related
aims:
1) study of the rich intellectual culture of
turn-of-the-century Vienna;
2) examination of the crucial issues of Western modernism
in a specific sociopolitical and cultural context;
3) demonstration of interdisciplinary approaches in the
humanities to complex socio-cultural configurations.
