  • Descrição: Focuses on a lacuna in the literature on the creation of Austria after 1945: how national awareness was established so rapidly outside the ruling class and hegemonic discourses. Political and economic factors could not have brought about such awareness so quickly. Argues that a mass-cultural complex was at work in which sport was very important: it was integrated into common communicative codes, connected to the world of politics, business and the arts, and enjoyed enormous presence in everyday discourse, even if this was confined to men, and the only significant sports were football, cycling, boxing and the Olympics. Boxing and cycling are paradigmatic sports in Austria's struggle for existence after 1945, revealing sport's contradictory role in the specific case of Austria's emerging nationhood: never a mirror of society, it increases differences yet softens contrasts. Because of the regionally differential character of football in Austria, boxing and cycling became temporarily the centre of interest during the formation of national awareness, and quickly disappeared from the public eye once this had been achieved.
