Résumé:The paper is about a research project, dealing with political fiction and literature in Austria in the period of the early Cold War, untertaken at present at the Department of German Studies at the University of Vienna by a research group, which is made up of a principal investigator and two Ph.D students. The essay will include information about current and existing research on that subject and highlight the need for further academic engagement, especially in linking the problem with research on Cold War fiction in an international context.The lecture will also outline the main topics and research questions of the project, as well as the methodological approach. Finally some examples out of the sample of analysed primary literature will be presented.
