Über die Produktion von Tönen

Die vielfältigen Formen des Musizierens in der österreichischen Zwischenkriegszeit wurden in Konflikten um legitime und illegitime Musizierpraktiken immer wieder neu verhandelt. Im Zusammenhang zeitgenössischer Kategorien der Neudefinition und Neuorganisation von Arbeit mit technischen Entwicklungen und neuen Musikgenres wurden unterschiedliche Musizierformen höchst unterschiedlich praktiziert und behandelt. Durch eine systematische Analyse der Beziehungen zwischen Musizierformen, die bislang meist nur getrennt untersucht wurden, werden Hierarchien von Musizieren und Musizierenden zwischen (Nicht-)Kunst und (Nicht-)Beruflichkeit klar, die teilweise auch Jahrzehnte danach noch öffentliche Wahrnehmungen und wissenschaftliche Kategorisierungen von Musik beeinflussten

Approaching the Musician’s Beruf in Austria ca. 1900–1938

In the first decades of the twentieth century, Beruf became an important schema for perceiving, judging and organizing different wage earning activities in Austria. In order to approach the multiple meanings of Beruf, the article explores its practical usages in regard to a specific activity: musicmaking. First, the author describes, how the musician’s Beruf was deemed a form of gainful occupation more legitimate than the music-making practiced by “amateurs”, “dilettantes” or unskilled musicians. Second, the community of those who made music, in accordance with order, discipline and the goal of material improvement, is considered. Third, the invention of the Volksmusiker (people’s musician) is described as a counter-model to the Berufsmusiker (professional musician) promoted by trade associations. The article concludes that Beruf was in fact deployed ambiguously with respect to music-making and that there were important differences between its general definitions and its diverse applications, especially when musicians’ joined associations.In the first decades of the twentieth century, Beruf became an important schema for perceiving, judging and organizing different wage earning activities in Austria.

Motive für die Wahl der Pressefotografie als Beruf

The paper investigates people's motivations to work as press photographers. Against the background of precarious working conditions and a relatively poor image of the occupation, why people choose to work in this field seems like an interesting question. Several theories of occupational choice are examined for their usefulness with regard to the focus of the research, taking into account the processual nature of the formation of motivations as well as the special attributes of the field of press photography. A combination of phenomenological and biographical concepts is selected as the theoretical framework of the study, and key elements thereof are explained. The data obtained through several narrative interviews is analyzed and interpreted, resulting in three main dimensions of typologies describing the process of the formation of motivations leading to the occupational choice of press photography. The three dimensions are finally integrated into one typology which describes the different types of peoples choosing press photography as their occupation.
