Multiple identities in Europe. How to be Slovak, Hungarian and European at the same time
Date: 15 October 2008
Location: Austria, Vienna - at the ERSTE Foundation in cooperation with Ludwig Boltzmann Institut
About: This seminar will present an oral history study undertaken by Ludwig Boltzmann Institut at the borders of Slovakia and Hungary in the towns of Komárno and Komárom, which used to be one and the same city before 1918. Preliminary results give challenging insights into the entanglement of local, national and transnational identities – are they Hungarian? Slovak? European? Or totally embedded in their towns or  regions? The analysis looks into the ways Central European border inhabitants perceive the „other“ communities and conceive of their own nationality, and how different historical experiences are reflected in these identities. This study is part of a European Cold War project carried out by the Boltzmann Institute for
European History and Public Spheres. Therefore the workshop will, as a contextualization, include inputs from another case study located at the Hungarian-Romanian border.
