This doctoral project examines the contradictory worlds of everyday life for Czechoslovakian migrants in Vienna between 1968 and 1989.
The project looks at the period after 1968 and thus accompanies the arrival of migrants 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 migration, which the project understands as living in a contradictory environment. Oral history approaches are used, supplemented by selected archival sources.
