Ever since Plutarch and Sueton composed their vitae of the greats of classical antiquity, to the medieval obsession with the hagiographies of holy men (and a few women) and saints, Vasari's lives of great Renaissance artists, down to the French encyclopedists, Dr. Johnson and Lytton Strachey, as well as Ranke and Droysen the genre of biographical writing has become increasingly more refined. In the twentieth century male predominance has become contested and the (collective) lives of women, minorities and ordinary people are now the focus of biographical writing. This volume of Contemporary Austrian Studies offers a cross-section of Austrian lives and biographical approaches to recent Austrian history. Here are what may be called traditional biographies of leading political figures through the twentieth century. We also suggest that the intellectual biographies of thinkers and professionals are fertile soil for biographical study. Moreover, the prosopographical study of common folks in the Austrian population lifts these lives from the dark matter of anonymous masses and gives rich insight into the lives that ordinary Austrians have been leading. We present an array of political lives, including that of Ignaz Seipel and Therese Schlesinger-Eckstein, as well as "Lives of the Mind" which capture the lives of fascinating intellectual figures in pre- and post-World War II Vienna such as Viktor Frankl and Eugenie Schwarzwald. The approaches to writing biography taken in this volume also suggest that much work needs to be done to shed light on the lives of ordinary Austrians. In this volume we have biographical accounts detailing the lives of soldiers, prisoners of war, and farming families. The writing of lives is always situated between fact and fiction, ascertainable data and the imagination of the biographer. This volume of Austrian Lives offers an intimate look into the lives of intriguing individuals while illuminating the touching lives of ordinary Austrians in wartime Vienna. 410 0$aContemporary Austrian Studies ;$vv. 21. 607 $aAustria$vBiography$y20th century 607 $aAustria$xHistory$y20th century 676 $a920.0436 702 $aBischof$b Gu?nter$f1953-, 702 $aPlasser$b Fritz$f1948-, 702 $aMaltschnig$b Eva$f1987-, 801 2$bUkMaJRU 801 2$bAuAdUSA 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910141846503321 996 $aAustrian lives$91991013 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04798nam 2200961Ia 450 001 9910785618203321 005 20230801224015.0 010 $a1-283-57151-X 010 $a9786613883964 010 $a0-520-95359-2 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520953598 035 $a(CKB)2670000000234053 035 $a(EBL)999937 035 $a(OCoLC)809411170 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000771403 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11419333 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000771403 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10810501 035 $a(PQKB)11409932 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC999937 035 $a(DE-B1597)518987 035 $a(OCoLC)880899618 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520953598 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL999937 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10590392 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL388396 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000234053 100 $a20010105d2012 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#---|u||u 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aLatinos, Inc$b[electronic resource] $ethe marketing and making of a people /$fArlene Da?vila 205 $aUpdated ed. 210 $aBerkeley $cUniversity of California Press$dc2012 215 $a1 online resource (331 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 0 $a0-520-27469-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 259-280) and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tList of Illustrations --$tAcknowledgments --$tForeword --$tPreface to the 2012 Edition --$tIntroduction --$tChapter 1.

And as salsa takes over both the dance floor and the condiment shelf, the influence of Latin culture is gaining momentum in American society as a whole. Yet the increasing visibility of Latinos in mainstream culture has not been accompanied by a similar level of economic parity or political enfranchisement. In this important, original, and entertaining book, Arlene Dávila provides a critical examination of the Hispanic marketing industry and of its role in the making and marketing of U.S. Latinos. Dávila finds that Latinos' increased popularity in the marketplace is simultaneously accompanied by their growing exotification and invisibility. She scrutinizes the complex interests that are involved in the public representation of Latinos as a generic and culturally distinct people and questions the homogeneity of the different Latino subnationalities that supposedly comprise the same people and group of consumers. In a fascinating discussion of how populations have become reconfigured as market segments, she shows that the market and marketing discourse become important terrains where Latinos debate their social identities and public standing. 517 3 $aLatinos Incorporated 606 $aHispanic American consumers 606 $aMarket segmentation$zUnited States 606 $aHispanic Americans$xEthnic identity 610 $aamerican history. 610 $aamerican markets. 610 $aamerican society. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $acoffee table books. 610 $acorporate america. 610 $acultural examination. 610 $adiscrimination of hispanics. 610 $aeasy to read. 610 $aengaging. 610 $ahispanic culture. 610 $ahispanic marketing industry. 610 $ahispanic marketing. 610 $ahomeschool history books. 610 $ainformative reading. 610 $alatino history. 610 $alatinos in america. 610 $alearning while reading. 610 $anonfiction books. 610 $aoppression of hispanics. 610 $aquarantine books. 610 $asocial culture. 610 $astruggles of hispanics. 610 $aunited states history. 610 $aunited states latinos. 615 0$aHispanic American consumers. 615 0$aMarket segmentation 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xEthnic identity. 676 $a658.8/34/08968073 700 $aDa?vila$b Arlene M.$f1965-$0920654 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785618203321 996 $aLatinos, Inc$93815133 997 $aUNINA
