Hungarian and German elites alike cast Zigeuner as primitive Naturvölker in an effort to legitimize reform efforts. By writing about the Zigeuner, scholars asserted competing Magyar and German models for modernization and reform. Passionate German nationalist Johann Schwicker called for the Zigeuner to assimilate into Hungarian and Romanian culture, arguing that Germanization was beyond their reach, thereby asserting German culture's supposedly superior status as an elite culture. By contrast, Hungarian nationalist Anton Herrmann urged the Magyarization of the Zigeuner to strengthen the Hungarian nation-state, denigrating the role of German and Romanian culture. Finally, Heinrich Wlislocki rejected all nationalist modernizing efforts, presenting the Zigeuner as a romantic symbol of the premodern age. In all three cases, Schwicker's, Herrmann's, and Wlislocki's Zigeuner bore very limited resemblance to Romani lived experience. Collectively, the writings of these three scholars illustrate both the range of Hungarian-German responses to nationalist modernization, as well as the role of national disputes in shaping Zigeunerkunde (“Gypsy Studies”).]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:14:06 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41343 Tue 02 Aug 2022 09:23:32 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50129 Thu 13 Jul 2023 10:57:21 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24653 Volksgemeinschaft, stretching from Germany to the Baltic under the rubric of the myth of the German East. However, Saxon identification with the Volksgemeinschaft varied according to the degree to which other Germans matched Saxon particularistic understandings of Germanness. Saxon nationalists identified strongly with Germany, which gave new meaning to the Saxons' imagined civilizing mission in Transylvania. Other historically privileged German communities in eastern Europe such as the Baltic Germans also reinforced Saxon views of the Volksgemeinschaft. However, Saxon nationalists struggled to identify with other Germans in Romania, whose comparatively low socioeconomic standing did not match their expectations. These patterns continued after 1933.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:08:12 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15990 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:23:32 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25606 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:02 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24654 German Studies Review, we examine how communities in the so called “German diaspora” have imagined and maintained a sense of Germanness in their various host communities. The experience of Germanness in any given immigrant community has followed a different historical trajectory from Germanness in the core German ethnoterritory in Central Europe, a region roughly coterminous with the territory presently administered by the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Austria, but which also encompasses much of Switzerland and various lands directly adjacent to Germany and Austria.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:11:51 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42209 Fri 19 Aug 2022 11:14:22 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44523 Fri 18 Aug 2023 14:11:36 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47223 Fri 16 Dec 2022 10:30:28 AEDT ]]>
