Contradictory environments: The Czechoslovak Exile in Vienna 1968-1989
Rsearch Project of Klaas AndersSupervisor: Prof. Dr. Susanne Schattenberg
The PhD project examines contradictory environments in the everyday life of Czechoslovak exiles between 1968 and 1989 in the urban space of Vienna.
The project looks at the period after 1968 and thus accompanies the arrival of the exiles who left Czechoslovakia after the suppression of the Prague Spring in 1968/69 and after the repression against Charter 77 (1977).
The focus is on strategies for coping with everyday life in exile, which the project understands as life in constant contradiction.
The project uses oral history approaches, which are supplemented by selected archival sources.
