His(s)tory and Her Story About the Serbs in Vienna From the Middle of the 19th Century to the End of WWI

This paper analyzes selected texts of Vukosava Mišić and Todor Stefanović Vilovski on the life of the Serbian community in Vienna at the turn of the 20th century, through their personal insights into the ambivalent identity of Vienna, as a site of both conflict and encounters of different cultures. The analysis introduces social determinants (gender, class, political affiliation) of the two authors, chosen here as bearers of memory of a shared reality and a common past.
