Dreaming homogenous - power switches of history in public discourse in Hungary
The waves of migration that hit Europe during 2015 are often labelled as the ‘refugee crisis’, however the term ‘crisis’ is doubly understood as that of refugees and that of European politics. Taking the latter view, the present article claims that if one wants to understand the differences between national responses, the concept of social memory is an analytically useful one. We take the case of the Hungarian response to the crisis and explain h…
Fans and politics in an illiberal state

Where Are Those Better Angels of Our Society? Subaltern Counterpublics in Hungary During the Refugee Crisis
This article presents findings of a research carried out among pro-refugee individuals in social media in Hungary.

This unusually strong propaganda campaign created a strong hegemonic discourse. Nevertheless, a pro-refugee counterpublic opposing the hegemonic discourse also emerge…
