| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The function and relevance of R. Musil's Kakanien concept in Central European studies after the Cold War is studied from three perspectives: (1) a comparison with the Austrian theories by Musil's contemporaries, (2) its relation to the process of producing "The Man Without Qualities", and (3) an analysis of the reception of the concept to date. Unlike the Austrian theories of his contemporaries, which depend on the specific qualities of the country, such as its Germanness and Catholicism, Musil's Kakanien has the critical function of deconstructing the qualities and extracting the elements in the background. This is inherited as a method by non-German Austrian writers who superimpose two different cities as "landscapes as possibilities" and their worldview in which the distinction between the two is unimportant.
