The emergence of Quebec studies in Austria is closely linked to that of Francophone studies and both are indicative of a paradigm change which, to a certain extent, also affects the role of France. After the war, France was without a doubt the most important alternative to Germany, and the teaching of French in high school increased up to the 1960s. Nevertheless, French Studies in Austrian universities did not escape the «pan-romaniste - tutelage typical of German-language countries until the 1970s. The 1980s and 1990s in turn saw the birth of Francophone Studies which today visibly contribute to shaping the profile of the Austrian universities: if Vienna is Austria's "most francophone" university, Innsbruck seems to be the "most québécois". In general, Quebec Studies in Austria are situated mainly in the humanities, and more particularly in the field of literature. For a long time, they were linked to individual researchers, but they have now moved into a phase of consolidation and institutionalization with, among others, the creation of the Centre for the Study of Quebec Song at the University of Innsbruck. This article presents not only the research of the principal Austrian Québécistes, but also the evolution of conference activities and the development of university teaching.
