Ancient Divination and Experience
Abstract The introduction to this volume describes the contribution that it makes to scholarship on ancient divinatory practices. It analyses previous and current research, arguing that while this predominantly functionalist work reveals important socio-political dimensions of divination, it also runs the risk of obscuring from view the very people, ideologies, and experiences that scholars se…

In the past quarter century, we have moved from the Cold War to the Post-Cold War era in Austria, Europe, and the world at large.

Volume 22 of Contemporary Austrian Studies aims to fill in these gaps by providing a detailed p…

Austrian Federalism in Comparative Perspective
With its ambiguous mix of weak federalist and strong centralist elements, the Austrian constitutional architecture has been subject to conflicting interpretations and claims from its very beginning. The written 1920 constitution has been paralleled by informal rules and forces making up for the imbalance of power between national and subnational authorities. Understanding these inherent weaknes…

It's an old story, full of poignancy, mystery, family pride, and doubt. When the aunt returns to die, the poet, now grown, discover…
