Life reform and progressive education developed various utopias and projected new ways of cultural, social, religious and political living. This book studies how these utopias lived on until World War II, how they still affect present life in Austria and Hungary, and it examines continuities and differences within the political, educational and cultural movements of both countries. The main focus lies on interrelations between educational utopias and strategies and the development of a collective identity in times of radical political and social changes.

Lebensreform und Reformpadagogik entwarfen Utopien fur das kulturelle, soziale und religioese Leben. Dieses Buch untersucht das Weiterleben dieser Utopien bis zum Beginn des zweiten Weltkrieges, ihre Wirkungen bis in die Gegenwart in OEsterreich und Ungarn und beleuchtet Kontinuitaten und Differenzen innerhalb der (bildungs-)politischen und kulturellen Stroemungen beider Lander. Im Zentrum steht die Frage nach Zusammenhangen zwischen padagogischen Utopien und Strategien und den Entwicklungen von kollektiver Identitat in Zeiten politischer und gesellschaftlicher Umbruche und Verunsicherungen.
