Introduction. A Tale of Two Identities
To say that Ireland has “imagined” Europe is to acknowledge a long history of looking outward in order to look inward. Across the twentieth century, Irish writers repeatedly used European scenes, debates, and crises as sounding boards for local anxieties about nationhood, faith and secularity, gender, class, and the ethics of belonging. Europe, in this sense, is not merely a map of proximate states but a repertoire of figures – Catholic and secul…
State Oppression, Fear, and Helplessness in Hungarian Political Jokes, 1963-1989
This study explores the social and psychological functions of humour in totalitarian societies, and traces how political jokes in Hungary between 1963 and 1989 may contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the link between state oppression and human rights. By analysing jokes that mocked the General Secretary of the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party, János Kádár (1956-1988), or addressed the violence and fear in Hungary and the Eastern…
Introduction
Our special issue discusses different perspectives on the important changes that took place in the transition from empire to nation-state at the end of the First World War, focusing especially on transnational connections, structural and historical continuities, and marginal voices that have been fully or partially concealed by the emphasis on a radical national awakening in 1918. Specific articles broach topics such as the implications of 1918 o…

After 1918, the birth of independent small states in Central Europe was a common point of reference in Ireland. This article aims to provide a more complex understanding of Irish images of postwar Austria, highlighting the coexistence of some elements of Austria’s imperial legacy and new characteristics of the independent small state. Irish commentators focused heavily on the newly drawn borders in Central Europe, including the redistribution of …
The first of the small nations’
Offering new insights into Irish links with the wider world, this article explores and contextualises Irish nationalist perceptions of and links with central European small states in the immediate aftermath of the First World War. The belief that any small nation like Ireland, oppressed by a dominant neighbour, had the right to self-determination was of key importance in nationalist political rhetoric during the revolutionary years. Given the sim…
Central European Border Settlements and Interwar Ireland
In the aftermath of the Great War, the birth of new independent small states in East-Central Europe was closely followed in Irish nationalist circles due to the possibility of Partition in Ireland. Newspaper editorials, journal articles and diplomatic accounts illustrate that post-war Ireland had an open attitude toward the settlement of borders on the Continent as the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was similarly controversial. This p…
