Traditiones Vol. 55 No. 1 (2026): Habsburške živali / Habsburg Animals
Volume Editors: Daša Ličen and Wolfgang Göderle
This special issue is situated within the vibrant field of Habsburg history, which—despite the strong resonance of the animal turn in recent decades—has not seen a comparable expansion in animal history research. Nonhuman animals nevertheless deserve a place in historical narratives, even if not as primary protagonists. A fully non-anthropocentric animal history remains unattainable, as both sources and their interpretation are mediated by human perspectives. Humans thus remain central, but as actors deeply entangled with animal lives. The central question guiding this issue concerns how animals shape human history, and, conversely, how humans shape animal history. By foregrounding these reciprocal relationships, this issue explores a vision of Habsburg history that extends beyond the human while recognizing the agency of nonhuman animals.
