After World War I, Salzburg became a refuge. Its urban and bucolic spaces staged encounters that had been brutally cut apart by the war; its deep-seated traditions of citizenship, art, and education guided its path. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eInterwar Salzburg\u003c\/i\u003e, contributors from around the globe recover an evolving but now lost vanguard of European culture, fostering not only new identities in visual and performing arts, film, music, and literature, but also a festival culture aimed at cultivating an inclusive public (not an international elite) and a civic culture sharing public institutions, sports, tourism, and a diverse spectrum of cultural identities serving a new European ideal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Dassanowsky \u003c\/b\u003eis CU Distinguished Professor of Film and Austrian Studies at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, USA, and is a former President of the Austrian Studies Association.
