(Wl 852)-Further Reflections on Ordinary Criticism
Ordinary' approach is ethically satisfied with a practice or decision if its undesirable consequences are mitigated. But the 'Foundational' approach is not, if a fundamental moral principle is violated. The former has an advantage in resolving ethical dilemmas like abortion, where two fundamental moral principles conflict with each other
Post-communist Nostalgia
Although the end of the Cold War was greeted with great enthusiasm by people in the East and the West, the ensuing social and especially economic changes did not always result in the hoped-for improvements in people’s lives. This led to widespread disillusionment that can be observed today all across Eastern Europe. Not simply a longing for security, stability, and prosperity, this nostalgia is also a sense of loss regarding a specific form of so…
Remains of Socialism: Memory and the Futures of the Past in Postsocialist Hungary
This book investigates the changing fates of the socialist past in postsocialist Hungary. The book introduces the concept of “remains”—both physical objects and cultural remainders—to analyze all that Hungarians sought to leave behind after the end of state socialism.

“But It’s Ours”: Nostalgia and the Politics of Authenticity in Post-Socialist Hungary
Sergiu Musteață, Rolul anului 1991 în destinul Republicii Moldova / 1991: A Chronology of Moldova’s Independence
The year 1991 proved to be crucial for the Soviet republics, including for Moldova, and in result of incremental democratic transformations and the collapse of the USSR, the Republic of Moldova became an independent state. The year 1991 was the common starting point of independence for most of Soviet Union republics. After the events of August 1991, most of the world believed that the collapse of the Soviet Union meant a departure from the totali…
What Happened to Jokes?”: The Shifting Landscape of Humor in Hungary
Since 1989, commentators on both sides of the Atlantic have mourned the death of jokes in postsocialist societies. While in fact humor has not gone away, the everyday experience of sharing jokes as an intimate form of political criticism has indeed vanished. Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and archival research on the history of Hungarian humor, this article contributes a new perspective to the recent wave of scholarship on Sovie…

The Master's Voice: Authenticity, Nostalgia, and the Refusal of Irony in Postsocialist Hungary
In 2000, Benedek Uhrin—an elderly man with no apparent musical talent—became an internet phenomenon and later one of the unlikely hit performances at the yearly summer music festival in Hungary. Although local commentators argued that his popularity with youth audiences derived from his kitsch appeal, this article argues to the contrary. Uhrin rose to fame because his performance enabled his audience to refuse irony as rhetorical tool, ethical st…
