Great papers by @acdh-oeaw.bsky.social colleagues @diezypresse.bsky.social & Barbara Tumfart (on Bernhard’s Heldenplatz) & @ftb-oeaw.bsky.social‘s own @danielmilkovits.bsky.social, presenting on #Jelinek & quoting as a polemical practice! As ever, Austrian lit lends itself to a discussion of scandal

Insightful interview with Sharon Marcus (@columbiauniversity.bsky.social), opening our conference on "Scandal as a Catalyst of Progress“ at @univie.ac.at, co-organised by @oeaw.bsky.social, @acdh-oeaw.bsky.social & University of Zurich www.oeaw.ac.at/news/vom-wil...

On 5 September 2025, literary scholar and theater director #ReinhardUrbach died. www.ots.at/presseaussen... On 28 Sept 1973, he accompanied #WHAuden to his last reading. In the night of 28-29 Sept, Auden died in his Vienna hotel room. @acdh-oeaw.bsky.social @oegfl.bsky.social @fwf-at.bsky.social

In roughly one month, @victorianceleb.bsky.social (@acdh-oeaw.bsky.social), Barbara Straumann (Zurich) and Sylvia Mieszkowski (Vienna) will be hosting a conference on #scandal at @univie.ac.at. I'm excited to be there with a talk on quoting as a polemical practice within the Austrian literary field!

‼️ Important statement by the Elise Richter Network ‼️ eliserichter.net/index.php/20...

Why looking for more information if you can just attack a scholarly project for your cheap propaganda? "Es ist überflüssig, weitere Informationen über das Projekt einzuholen, um zur Erkenntnis zu gelangen, dass […] ein Lapsus bei der Fördergeldvergabe unterlief." www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

We are grateful to all our brilliant contributors, reviewers, and copy-editors; as well as #DHd for supporting this project through their #OpenAccess #Publikationsfonds.

Poet #WHAuden sent this printed volume of his speech "Words & Notes", delivered at #SalzburgFestival 1968, to a friend. On the page, he crossed out the greater part of his bio note & wrote "Quatsch" ("nonsense") next to it. @acdh-ch-oeaw.bsky.social @fwf-at.bsky.social @oeaw.bsky.social

Scandals galore in the modern media landscapes in which we move... Join us this September @univie.ac.at to shift our perspective & discuss how scandals can function as catalysts of progress. CFP open until 15 March! anglistik.univie.ac.at/scandal/ @oeaw.bsky.social @fwf-at.bsky.social

We are looking to identify "T.P.C" - a (presumably UK) printing press, collaborating with A. V. Fry & Co. publishers in producing London postcards in the 1960s. (It is not tpc-print.co.uk, a younger UK company.) @oeaw.bsky.social @acdh-ch-oeaw.bsky.social @fwf-at.bsky.social

Dear #typography buffs - what can be said about this print other than it being a #serif typeface? From the difference between strong & thin lines, we would say transitional or Didone, rather than old-style (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serif). Any hints will be helpful.

We are looking for a copy-editor (English-language editing and formatting) to collaborate with us on our special issue "Life Narrative and the Digital" for the European Journal of Life Writing. If you're interested, please get in touch for more information. @oeaw.bsky.social @fwf-at.bsky.social

Noch ist es nicht ganz publikationsreif, darum nur ein Teaser: @luntner.bsky.social und ich erfassen gerade die Aufenthaltsorte von #ArthurSchnitzler mit einer Genauigkeit bis zu den aufgesuchten Häusern. Eben haben wir die 23.000 Beziehung zwischen Schnitzler und einem Ort angelegt.

Unsere Vienna Lit Book Group featured auf Radio Ö1!

Wir stellen uns vor: @danielmilkovits.bsky.social, Kay Kollmann, Saskia Haag, Juliane Werner und Norbert Christian Wolf, der Leiter des Teams. Zusammen sind wir die Forschungsstelle Thomas Bernhard am #ACDH-CH der @oeaw.bsky.social!

Thanks for the shoutout, @danielmilkovits.bsky.social! We are interested in the mechanisms underlying scandals in diverse Anglophone & German-speaking contexts from the 19th, 20th & 21st centuries. We look forward to your proposals!

Thomas Bernhard festigte mit einem Eklat rund um Bruno Kreisky seinen Ruf als Enfant terrible der österreichischen Literatur. Diesen untersuchen Norbert Christian Wolf und @danielmilkovits.bsky.social im heutigen Gastblog des @derstandard.at.

Im Westen nichts ganz Neues...

"Hier auch gibst nichts neues, aber das politische Aussicht in Amerika schaut sehr hässlich aus" Poet #WHAuden in a letter from 1969.

Die Bewerbungsfrist endete zwar gestern, aber wenn sich jemand die Chance, mit einem meiner geschätztesten Kollegen zusammenzuarbeiten, nicht entgehen lassen möchte, dann einfach noch bei @encore.at direkt melden!

Langsam werde ich nervös: Nächste Woche endet die Bewerbungsfrist! In Österreich ist es schwer, eine #Dissertationsstelle zu bekommen. 30h/Woche, ein (unbezahlter) Tag für die Dissertation. Wer will im Umfeld der #WienerModerne mit mir zusammenarbeiten? Bitte weiterleiten und Leute ansprechen!

Congratulations are in order for #AudeninAustriaDigital team member Timo Frühwirth, who successfully defended his doctoral thesis on digitally editing the Auden Musulin Papers at @univie.ac.at! Special thanks to @fwf-at.bsky.social & ACDH-CH @oeaw.bsky.social for making this project possible!

The #AudeninAustriaDigital team wishes you all relaxing holidays, a festive season, and a happy new year! ❄️ ☃️ 🎁 @oeaw.bsky.social @fwf-at.bsky.social
