This book examines Jewish writers and intellectuals in Austria, analyzing filmic and electronic media alongside more traditional publication formats over the last 25 years. Beginning with the Waldheim affair and the rhetorical response by the three most prominent members of the survivor generation (Leon Zelman, Simon Wiesenthal and Bruno Kreisky) author Andrea Reiter sets a complicated standard for ‘who is Jewish’ and what constitutes a ‘Jewish response.’ She reformulates the concepts of religious and secular Jewish cultural expression, cutting across gender and Holocaust studies. The work proceeds to questions of enacting or performing identity, especially Jewish identity in the Austrian setting, looking at how these Jewish writers and filmmakers in Austria ‘perform’ their Jewishness not only in their public appearances and engagements but also in their works. By engaging with novels, poems, and films, this volume challenges the dominant claim that Jewish culture in Central Europe is almost exclusively borne by non-Jews and consumed by non-Jewish audiences, establishing a new counter-discourse against resurging anti-Semitism in the media.

The 2008 Triennial, Tales of Time and Space, was very much embedded in the specifics of place, taking its cue from Folkestones idiosyncratic history, people and architecture. The 2011 Triennial will continue the ambition of the first Triennial to commission international art of the highest calibre that engages with the local and regional public, as well as cultural tourists and art professionals. The 2011 edition aims to bring the wider world to Folkestones shores, while highlighting at the same time its position as a gateway and the isolation of being situated on the edge of Britain. The focus will be on social and political issues, especially arising from migration and exile, colonialism and its aftermath, and questions of place and language. It should challenge our notions of centre and periphery, of the local and global, proximity and distance. In addition to UK artists, the 2011 Triennial will present artists from countries not seen in the previous edition. The selected artists either live or have biographical background in countries as diverse as Algeria, Morocco, Kosovo, Israel, Egypt, Guyana, India and Brazil, as well as Denmark, Spain, Germany and the USA.
