Fiume hosszú árnyéka. A városi modernizáció kritikája a 19. század második felében [Fiume’s Long Shadow
The Historical Construction of National Consciousness
A long essay entitled 'Three Historical Regions of Europe', appearing first in a samizdat volume in Budapest in 1980, instantly put its author into the forefront of the transnational debate on Central Europe, alongside such intellectual luminaries as Milan Kundera and Czesław Miłosz. The present volume offers English-language readers a rich selection of the depth and breadth of the legacy of Jenő Szűcs (1928–1988). \n \nThe selection documents Sz…
Mary Gluck. The Invisible Jewish Budapest
Mary Gluck’s The Invisible Jewish Budapest: Metropolitan Culture at the Fin de Siècle, which discusses the intellectual and ideological history of “Jewish Budapest” in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, is not a monograph, but rather a collection of essays. The common element found in the six chapters, which constitute distinctive/separate studies, is the image of an emerging Jewish cultural and even political presence in what was…
A magyar polgári elitek értékrendszere és regionális változatai
A szerző jelen tanulmányában a Magyarországot irányító elit társadalmi összetételének kialakulását taglalja az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchia korában, és hangsúlyozza, hogy a hagyományos elit csoportok (arisztokrácia és a korábbi földtulajdonos középnemesség) politikai elitként éltek tovább. Ez a tendencia ugyanakkor a két világháború közötti időszakban megváltozott, akkor kerültek ugyanis hatalomra a növekvő számú új tagok, különösen a „hosszú 1930-as…
Trends in contemporary Hungarian historical scholarship
Did the political changes of 1989 have any influence on Hungarian history writing? If there was a perceptible impact, in what direction did it help the forward movement of historians' practice? If
Revolution, uprising, civil war
There were from the very beginning two ways of conceptualising the events of 1956 in Hungary, labelling it as a revolution or a national uprising. There also emerged a third way of conceptual definition when what occurred in 1956 was named an anti-totalitarian movement. From the theoretical perspective of Begriffsgeschichte the Hungarian events of 1956 cannot simply be assumed under the notion of ‘revolution’, the term first applied to what took …
Memory and discourse on the 1956 Hungarian revolution
This contribution discusses a variety of different factors that have influenced the historical memory of the 1956 revolution in Hungary and the range of different interpretations that have made up the discourse on it. It explores the consequences of the post-1956 repression and the ‘enforced historical amnesia’ that was maintained by the Kádár regime. It then reviews the controversies and disputes between different accounts of the revolution rela…
Identity and Urban Experience
This book recounts the history of Budapest at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, during the heyday of its development. Gyani creates a rich profile of Budapest's citizens as they faced a newly congested social universe, rapidly evolving physical space, and extreme changes in their urban living experience as the city expanded
Parlor and Kitchen
Labour—Travail
Female outwork, according to the Tilly‐Scott thesis, is an indication of the spread of the family wage economy. Unmarried women as wage‐earners are primarily considered to be the agents of new family formation. In Hungary between 1900 and 1930, the agrarian population provided the main source of female employment both in agriculture and urban domestic service. Using standard census data, the changes in female labour force participation seem only …
Social History of Urban Space
A városi mikroterek társadalomtörténete
Mainstream studies of urban space follow the traditions of the Chicago School still nowadays. Accordingly, their research topic is the residential segregation of population in large cities and related population moves. But urban space can also be studied in a different perspective: it can be examined as a scene of the most varied–individual and public–activities and can be considered in the light of values and norms related to its use. The presen…
