Summary/Abstract: The article offers a discoursive analysis and contextualization of several key topics found in the essayistic oeuvre of Raymond Rehnicer (1942–1998), professor of urbanism and architecture at the University of Sarajevo, who lived in exile in Prague after 1992. The paper pays special attention to the problems of multicultural coexistence, causes of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the perceived urban/ural dichotomy, the development and role of Rehnicer’s Jewish identity after the breakup of the war and his conceptualizations of Central Europe as a specific historical and cultural area.
