The Thinking Space: The Café as a Cultural Institution in Paris, Italy and Vienna

By W Scott Haine Dr, Leona Rittner, W. Scott Haine

The caf as an institutional site has been the subject of renewed interest amongst scholars in the past decade, and its role in the development of art, ideas and culture has been explored in some detail. However, few have investigated the ways in which caf s create a cultural and intellectual space which brings together multiple influences and intellectual practices and shapes the urban settings of which they are a part. This volume brings together an international group of scholars who consider caf s as sites of intellectual discourse from across Europe during the long modern period.
