VWI invites/goes to...
Cycle of VWI Fellows’ Colloquia
The VWI fellows present their intermediary research results in the context of colloquia which are announced to a small audience and are open to a public audience with an academic and topical interest. The lectures are complemented by a response or commentary by an expert in the given field and are discussed with the other fellows.
Due to the previous lack of an appropriate space, the colloquia were held at other Viennese research and cultural institutions with a topical or regional connection to the given subject. From this circumstance was born the “VWI goes to …” format.
With the move to a new institute building at Rabensteig 3, the spatial circumstances have changed, so that the VWI is now happily able to invite other research and cultural institutions. Therefore, the VWI is now conducting its colloquia both externally and within its own building, in the framework of continued co-operation with other institutions.
The new cycle of fellows’ colloquia “VWI invites/goes to …” is not only able to reach a broader circle of interested persons, but moreover integrates the VWI further into the Viennese scholarly establishment, perhaps even crossing borders into the greater regional research landscape.

VWI goes to the University of Vienna
Der Vortrag widmet sich antisemitischen Pogromen im Zeitraum von 1918-20 und 1945/46 und untersucht somit Pogromwellen im Schatten von polnischer Staatsneubildung, Machtvakuum und politischer Paradigmenwechsel. Schwache Staaten begünstigen in beiden Fällen antisemitische Gewalt; insofern offenbaren Pogrome als performative, öffentliche Aggression die Handhabung von Antisemitismus in sich konsolidierenden Staaten – eine Aggression, die über das jeweils untersuchte Pogrom hinaus Bedeutung beanspruchen kann.
