Resumo: | This article takes a new look at the novels of the Austrian Jewish writer Adolf Dessauer (1849-1916). Dessauer wrote an ironic chronicle of his contemporaries’ world in turn-of-the-century Vienna. A banker by profession and an amateur novelist, he published two novels in his lifetime (Götzendienst, in 1896, and Großstadtjuden, in 1910), both taking place in the Habsburg capital, which was then undergoing a process of rapid economic and social change. Though his books are nowadays virtually forgotten, Dessauer was a very accurate chronicler of the customs of the social class which ascended with economic liberalism, and which became increasingly close to the empire’s declining aristocracy, mimicking its tastes and habits. As opposed to what happened in other European nations, the bourgeoisie in the Habsburg Empire never attempted to construct its own aesthetic and cultural repertoire, but consistently imitated the aristocratic patterns of its time. Dessauer makes a biting and ironical portrait of this class and its attempt at aristocratic appearances. He also shows how Karl Lueger’s Christian anti-Semitic party in Austria recruited its voters from the impoverished class of artisans, which had lost space as a consequence of the establishment of a new economic order. Lueger’s political campaign was directed towards this growing class, and he identified the rise of liberal capitalism with Jews and Judaism. In Großstadtjuden Dessauer looks at the same phenomena, but does so from a strictly Jewish point of view. His second novel portrays the reactions of a number of Jewish families from Vienna to rising anti-Semitism. This historical aspect of the Viennese Jewish community, which was Europe’s numerically largest after Warsaw’s, is a striking prelude to the history of European Jewry in the 20th.century, thus giving Dessauer’s work an unexpected afterlife. |

Jahrhundert. Von Beruf Bankier und Schriftsteller aus Liebhaberei, veröffentlichte Dessauer zwei Romane (Götzendienst, 1896 und Großstadtjuden, 1910), die zu Zeiten rasanter wirtschaftlicher und sozialer Wandlungen in der Habsburger Metropole spielen und die heute nahezu vergessen sind. Dessauer richtet seine Aufmerksamkeit auf die Klasse, die mit dem Siegeszug des Wirtschaftsliberalismus aufgestiegen und sich immer mehr mit der dekadenten Aristokratie der österreichischen Hauptstadt verbunden hatte, deren Geschmack und Umgangsformen sie nachahmte. Im Unterschied zu anderen europäischen Nationen schuf das Bürgertum des Habsburger Reiches kein eigenständiges kulturelles oder ästhetisches Repertoire, sondern versuchte, sich auf dem Wege der Imitation die kulturellen Werte des Adels anzueignen, was eine Klasse von Nachahmern hervorrief, auf die Dessauer seinen durchdringenden und ironischen Blick richtete. Gleichzeitig zeigt Dessauer, wie die Partei der antisemitischen Christdemokraten in Österreich unter der Schicht der Handwerker ihre Wähler rekrutierte, die im Zuge der neuen wirtschaftlichen Ordnung proletarisiert wurden: An diese verarmten Handwerker richtet sich die von Dr. Karl Lueger geführte Kampagne, der den Wirtschaftsliberalismus mit dem Judentum und den Juden identifizierte In Großstadtjuden beschäftigt sich der Autor mit denselben Erscheinungen, jedoch aus einem streng jüdischen Blickwinkel, der ausgeht von einigen Familien und der Art, wie jede von ihnen auf den wachsenden Antisemitismus in der österreichischen Hauptstadt reagiert. Im Rückblick stellt sich die Geschichte der österreichischen Juden, zu jener Zeit die nach Warschau zweitgrößte Gemeinde in Europa, in diesem Roman als ein Vorspiel der Geschichte der Juden Europas im 20. Jahrhundert dar, was diesem literarischen Werk, das zum Vergessen verurteilt schien, ein unerwartetes Interesse verschafft.Este artigo trata do escritor austríaco Adolf Dessauer (1849-1916), um cronista de costumes da Viena da passagem do século 19 para o século 20. Banqueiro de profissão e escritor amador, Dessauer publicou em vida dois romances (Götzendienst, de 1896, e Großstadtjuden, de 1910) que são ambientados na metrópole habsburga, à época em rápida transformação econômica e social, e que hoje foram virtualmente esquecidos. Dessauer volta sua atenção para a classe social que ascendeu com o triunfo do liberalismo econômico, e que passou a relacionar-se, de maneira cada vez mais próxima, com a aristocracia decadente da capital austríaca, da qual mimetizava os gostos e os hábitos. Ao contrário do que aconteceria em outras nações européias, a burguesia, no Império Habsburgo, não criou um repertório cultural ou estético próprio, mas tentou apropriar-se, por meio da mímese, dos padrões culturais aristocráticos, o que gerou uma classe de imitadores sobre a qual Dessauer volta um olhar irônico e penetrante. Ao mesmo tempo, Dessauer mostra como o partido dos cristãos anti-semitas, na Áustria, recrutou seu eleitorado dentre a camada de artesãos que, com o surgimento da nova ordem econômica, proletarizou-se: a estes artesãos empobrecidos dirigia-se a campanha promovida pelo Dr. Karl Lueger, que identificava com o judaísmo e com os judeus o capitalismo liberal. Já em Großstadtjuden o autor volta-se sobre os mesmos fenômenos, porém de um ponto de vista estritamente judaico, que tem como ponto de partida algumas famílias e a maneira como cada uma delas reage ao crescente anti-semitismo na capital austríaca. Olhando-se em retrospecto, a história da comunidade judaica viensense, que à época de Dessauer era a segunda em tamanho na Europa, superada apenas pela de Varsóvia, afigura-se, neste romance, como um prelúdio de toda a história judaica na Europa do século 20, o que traz um inesperado interesse por uma obra literária que parecia condenada ao esquecimento.
