It examines trends in contemporary Austrian literature, film and culture, predominantly over the past thirty years. This period has been one of great transformation in Austrian society, with the Waldheim affair of 1986-1988 marking the beginning of a belated process of confronting the country's National Socialist past. The sixteen chapters of the volume analyse literary texts, films, memorial projects and Austria's musical heritage, considering works by cultural practitioners operating both within and outside of Austria. The collection offers a multi-perspectival view on how contemporary Austria sees itself and how it is, in turn, seen by others from various vantage points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKatya Krylova\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Lecturer in German, Film and Visual Culture at the University of Aberdeen.
