The Origins of Hatred: An Analysis of Antisemitic Political Cartoons in Fin-de-Siècle Vienna
Duffy, Meredith Lee
Duffy, Meredith Lee
Abstract
Fin-de-siecle Vienna is generally regarded in historical literature as the breeding grounds of a political antisemitic movement that eerily foreshadows the virulent antisemitic rhetoric of the later German National Socialist (Nazi) Party. This thesis investigates political antisemitism in fin-de-siecle Vienna through the analysis of political cartoons from satirical and gossip newspapers. These cartoons indicate the formation of a racial hierarchy based upon the nineteenth-century division of global populations into the white, yellow, and black races. Notably absent from this racial classification is the European Jew, who artists depict as both subhuman and monstrous.
