Representation and Politics

Summary/Abstract: Franz Joseph I took the throne of the Habsburg Empire in December 1848, but despite the established custom and law, he was not crowned king of Hungary. What difficulties did this cause when the emperor wanted to start a dialogue with the Hungarians in the 1860s about a compromise? How did the two sides and the two positions approach each other, and how did all this appear at the level of symbolic politics? How did past traditions survive, and how were new ones born? When did Franz Joseph first give the speech from the throne as the crowned king of Hungary? The essay deals with all these questions.
