C OMICAL M ODERNITY

A USTRIAN AND H ABSBURG S TUDIES

General Editor: Howard Louthan, Center for Austrian Studies,

University of Minnesota

Before 1918, Austria and the Habsburg lands constituted an expansive multinational and multiethnic empire, the second largest state in Europe and a key site for cultural and intellectual developments across the continent. At the turn of the twentieth century, the region gave birth to modern psychology, philosophy, economics and music, and since then has played an important mediating role between Western and Eastern Europe, today participating as a critical member of the European Union. The volumes in this series address specific themes and questions around the history, culture, politics, social, and economic experience of Austria, the Habsburg Empire and its successor states in Central and Eastern Europe.

My interest in Viennese cultural history started a long time ago when I was studying theatre, film and media studies at the University of Vienna, but this book was written at the University of Turku in Finland. It originates from a study that was conducted in the PhD Programme in Popular Culture Studies (PPCS), funded by the Academy of Finland. The financial support of various foundations has enabled me to do the necessary research in Vienna. I am grateful to the Turku University Foundation, the Eino Jutikkala Fund and the Hollo Foundation for their financial support that enabled me to work in the Austrian archives and libraries. I would like to thank the staff of the Austrian National Library, Wienbibliothek im Rathaus, Austrian State Archives and Verein fr Geschichte der ArbeiterInnenbewegung for their help and assistance. Illustrations from the humorous magazines are reproduced by courtesy of the Austrian National Library.

I am a cultural historian by training and I would like to offer my warmest gratitude to my supervisors for guiding me in my research journey that has led to this book. Hannu Salmi from the University of Turku introduced me to the nineteenth-century studies and provided me with scholarly advice, inspiration and encouragement. Riitta Laitinen, who, to my grief, passed away before this book was finished, has read numerous versions of my texts, providing insightful comments, and her ideas about space and spatiality have guided my work from the beginning. Anu Korhonen from the University of Helsinki has shared with me her expertise on the historical study of humour, and I am deeply grateful for her learned advice and deep analytical insight. I would like to offer my gratitude to my examiners Mary Gluck and Markus Reisenleitner, who together with Susan Ingram came to the public defence of my dissertation, providing invaluable commentary and encouragement.

Many of the main ideas for this study were gained during my research trips to Vienna. I would like to thank Christina Lutter and Karl Vocelka for inviting me to visit the History Department at the University of Vienna in 2013. Lutz Musner took time to offer some thoughtful comments and insightful critique for which I am very grateful. I would also like to thank Harald Robert Sthlinger for the opportunity to take part in the publication
