Abstract

Patterns of Central Europe’s Borders from the Perspective of Multicultural Vienna. Reminiscences, Rehearsals, Extravagances, and Their Wider Context
 The article analyzes the concept of the territorial distribution of Central Europe and the inhabitants of Vienna as a par excellence Central European city. It lays out the findings from material gathered through 173 questionnaires in the form of a map of Europe, upon which the respondents indicated the territorial scope of Central Europe. Surveys were carried out both among Austrians and migrants living in Vienna. The authors point at two distinct trends: (a) the inclusion of individual states and regions into Central Europe, (b) exclusion of individual countries and regions from Central Europe. As a result, there is a picture of Central Europe conceived in positive terms (as a cultural and civilizational entity) as well as a negative one (in opposition to the East and the Balkans). However, the study is a pilot and requires further scientific research using alternative methods and techniques.
