Sports and the Emergence of Jewish Visibility in Contemporary Vienna

Jewish Culture and Society in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

In this article, the author argues that the current Jewish sports movement exemplifies and symbolizes a "new Jewish visibility" in Vienna’s sociocultural field. It is thus part and parcel of a larger recent transformation that has brought Jewish individuals, collectivities, and institutions into Austria’s public sphere. Drawing on his ethnographic research on postwar Austrian-Jewish culture, the author argues that sport represents a privileged site in this development through its construction of an affirmative public Jewish subjectivity, negotiated, in turn, in light of the social reality of a recently expanding Jewish community.
