- More about The Viennese Waltz: Decadence and the Decline of Austria’s Unconscious
The Viennese Waltz changed from a symbol of upper-class artifice to a link between man and nature and between Viennese and "Other" between 1864 and 1928, reflecting the stagnation of the Habsburg Empire. Hood uses Freudian concepts of the uncanny and the doppelgänger to explain this revolution.

The Viennese Waltz, a satirical portrayal by Strauss II, reveals the deceptive nature of the aristocratic class. Under the influence of Schoenberg, Mahler, and Webern, the waltz became a pivotal symbol, bridging the conscious and unconscious realms. It imposed a paralyzing "second state," akin to the stagnation of the Habsburg Empire. Hood employs Freudian concepts such as the uncanny and the doppelgänger to elucidate this transformation, from the simple meaning of a dance to the psychological anxiety of one's position in society.
