Conference theme: Irish-Austrian Cultural Ties from Modernism to the Present - Between Parallel Developments and Complex Entanglements.
Irisch-österreichische Kulturbeziehungen von der Moderne zur Gegenwart - zwischen Parallelentwicklungen und komplexen Verflechtungen.
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Austrian Embassy in Dublin, this conference will bring together an international group of researchers to explore the rich and nuanced cultural, literary, philosophical, and intellectual connections between Ireland and Austria from the late 19th century to today.
Focusing on both parallel developments and complex entanglements, it aims to challenge familiar clichés, move beyond national stereotypes, and illuminate the dynamic exchanges that have shaped both cultural spheres, with particular attention to modernist contexts and developments. By examining mutual influences as well as key differences, the event offers fresh perspectives on Irish-Austrian relations, complemented by a rich accompanying programme of events.
