Post-Imperial Encounters
Behind the slightly cryptic title of Svetlana Suveica’s Post-imperial Encounters: Transnational Designs of Bessarabia in Paris and Elsewhere, the reader will find a solid and extremely thoroughly s
Iryna Vushko. Lost Fatherland
The Human Factor
The article, as an afterword to the special issue Navigating Post-Imperial Transitions , uses the story of a Transylvanian Romanian and Greek Catholic family, the Pordeas, as an example of several key themes of the articles: managing difference within and after the empire, concrete consequences of international arrangements, agency of individuals in the transition. The Pordeas’ extremely intense engagement and entanglement with the empire highlig…
Revisionisms revised. Does the radical right appropriate or disrupt historical narratives through revisionism? 1
Central European elites in post-imperial transition
The rise of Titans? Economic transition and local elites in post-1918 Banat and Transylvania
The article analyzes two interrelated aspects of the reconfiguration of business and managerial groups in the southern Banat, an industrial powerhouse of pre-1918 Hungary, and Transylvania, annexed to Romania in 1919. First, it analyzes the role of managerial groups in the survival of Budapest and Vienna high capital, and, second, the cooptation of new Romanian political elites into the existing structure of informal cooperation between economy a…
Lawful” Revisionism? The Lawful Revolution and the Revision of 1848 in Hungarian Historiography
The article dissects the reception of István Deák’s The Lawful Revolution within Hungarian historiography. It argues that strangely the book was a precursor of a deeper revision of the history of 1848, and still it is not a major reference. Deák’s ambiguous position as a US-Hungarian historian made possible to read his work less with an eye of the broader historical revisionism it promoted, a nonnationalist reading of Habsburg history, and to use…
Empty Signs, Historical Imaginaries
A Comparative History of Local Resilience
The classic accounts of the history of the Habsburg Empire emphasized the importance of the conflict of nationalities and alleged that national oppression was the root cause of the Empire’s dissolution in 1918. Based on new results, however, the Nepostrans ERC project has raised two important issues: caution against the idea of all-pervasive nationalisms, and the perspective that the disappearance of Austria–Hungary was not a clear and sharp brea…
Hofratsdämmerung? Verwaltung und ihr Personal in den Nachfolgestaaten der Habsburgermonarchie 1918 bis 1920
Administrative history is often considered boring and full of unnecessary details capable of interesting only a few readers. Although these stereotypes are unjustified, they are nevertheless being shattered by works like this volume, which grew out of a research project on the Austrian administration and was further developed by complementary case studies from states that were founded on the ruins of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Individually and …
De l’ethnicisation de la nationalité à l’indigénat transnational
En Autriche-Hongrie, la citoyenneté ou nationalité était réglée différemment dans chacune des moitiés de la double monarchie, tout en suivant le même principe d’égalité nominale entre les citoyens. Dans la partie autrichienne ou cisleithanienne, la nationalité obéissait à une logique territoriale d’État ; dans l’autre partie, la Transleithanie, elle obéissait à une logique d’assimilation à la nationalité hongroise. Les traités de paix contraignir…
Unruly borderlands
The Maramureș (Máramaros) and Banat (Bánság) regions of dualist Hungary were classic borderlands with markedly different characteristics. While both zones were multiethnic, the former was a mountainous, backward and agricultural area. The latter was one of the richest and most industrialized in the country, with thriving cities and a developed economy. While social life in Maramureș was dominated by interethnic and trans-religious noble kins, who…
Made in Paris? Contested Regions and Political Regionalism during and after Peacemaking
Asking someone in Hungary about the Treaty of Trianon would most probably yield an answer close to a lament.Something about injustice, intolerable loss, mourning, truncation and amputation, incredible suffering of ethnic kin beyond the borders set with the treaty.While most people would certainly use this tone, rooted in the immediate aftermath of the WWI when it was first used consciously, hardly any would believe if they were told that the same…
The World between Us
The concept of security and the security culture of the state are always social constructs reflecting the outcome of interactions between state and society. Key categories of security, like dangerous social groups and activities are usually negotiated through these interactions. Politicians, secret agents, gendarms, denunciators, journalists, or the indicted, all shape the broader social meaning in a dynamic way. While in Greater Romania the stat…
Unholy Alliances? Language Exams, Loyalty, and Identification in Interwar Romania
This article analyzes national loyalty and identification by examining the language exams administered to minority public officials in Romania in 1934 and 1935. The exams aimed at testing officials' knowledge of the state language, but given the broader political context they were more than a survey of linguistic skills. Examinees were singled out as non-Romanian and subjected to an additional requirement not demanded from their ethnic Romanian c…
