Abstract

Cultural studies have shown that verbal depictions of non-Germanic nations in the AustroHungarian Empire in the dominant German discourse demand more investigative research which would expose the myth of a multicultural and supranational Austria-Hungary. German cultural colonialism has constructed negative, even hostile images of the foreign/the other. This article examines Bartsch's German nationalist novel Das Deutsche Lied and its depictions of Slovenes as foreign/other, as well as asymmetric German-Slovene biculturalism in Lower Styria in the period of ethnic friction and the unrelenting Germanization prior to World War I.
