Die Reprasentation der Habsburg-Lothringischen Dynastie in Musik, visuellen Medien und Architektur / Representing the Habsburg-Lorraine Dynasty in Music, Visual Media and Architecture. 1618–918

The central focus of the publication is on the question of how specific representation strategies of the dynasty are expressed in the music and art of the Habsburg hereditary lands as well as the Bohemian countries and Hungary. With this in mind, topics and media of representation, questions about rulers, state and nation as well as networks and ceremonial spaces in their relationship to the public are subjected to exemplary studies. Representation is not a category that is considered an unchangeable quantity, but is subject to diverse processes of social and media negotiation. Their analysis can in turn make an important contribution to research into the structure of the composite monarchy of the Habsburg Empire.
