  • The Case of Chinese Entrepreneurs in The
    Why Would We Need A “Chinatown”? The case of Chinese entrepreneurs in the rust belts of the 8th and 10th districts of Budapest By MELINDA SZABÓ Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Supervisors Professor Ayse Caglar CEU eTD Collection Assistant Professor Daniel Monterescu Budapest, Hungary 2009 Abstract Although the number of Chinese immigrants in Budapest is lower than it used to be in the early- and mid-90s, Chinese traders’ enduring presence can be expected in the city – especially in the rust belts of the 8th and 10th districts of Budapest, which became reviving areas thanks to migrants’ investments and business activities. The aim of my thesis is to explore what may reason the fact that despite the spatial concentration of Chinese trading enterprises these areas have not turned to form the basis of a “Chinatown”. However, according to my presumption, the formal recognition of a “Chinatown” would be beneficial both for the city and Chinese migrants. It may promote transnational migrants’ urban incorporation and could advance the city’s position as branding itself with the multicultural environment that these places constitute. For seeking answers to this question I have scrutinized not only the structural opportunities of the city and migrants’ transnational networks which surely condition these processes, but also made qualitative research on the city leadership’s and migrants’ opinion about the idea. Hence I both applied a top-down and a bottom-up approach for investigations. I paid special attention to determine that within the local context who may be affected by the institutionalization of a “Chinatown” negatively in terms of social inclusion.

  • Hungary: the Assault on the Historical Memory of The
    HUNGARY: THE ASSAULT ON THE HISTORICAL MEMORY OF THE HOLOCAUST Randolph L. Braham Memoria est thesaurus omnium rerum et custos (Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things) Cicero THE LAUNCHING OF THE CAMPAIGN The Communist Era As in many other countries in Nazi-dominated Europe, in Hungary, the assault on the historical integrity of the Holocaust began before the war had come to an end. While many thousands of Hungarian Jews still were lingering in concentration camps, those Jews liberated by the Red Army, including those of Budapest, soon were warned not to seek any advantages as a consequence of their suffering. This time the campaign was launched from the left. The Communists and their allies, who also had been persecuted by the Nazis, were engaged in a political struggle for the acquisition of state power. To acquire the support of those Christian masses who remained intoxicated with anti-Semitism, and with many of those in possession of stolen and/or “legally” allocated Jewish-owned property, leftist leaders were among the first to 1 use the method of “generalization” in their attack on the facticity and specificity of the Holocaust. Claiming that the events that had befallen the Jews were part and parcel of the catastrophe that had engulfed most Europeans during the Second World War, they called upon the survivors to give up any particularist claims and participate instead in the building of a new “egalitarian” society. As early as late March 1945, József Darvas, the noted populist writer and leader of the National Peasant

    The Perfect Weekend BUDAPEST Take a couple of days to explore the atmospheric streets of Hungary’s capital, finding tumbledown pubs, thermal baths and contemporary design shops nudging against grand civic buildings and the gloriously blue Danube. Wandering through, fill up on old Magyar favourites in a Soviet-style canteen or local produce from a farmers’ market WORDS AMANDA CANNING @amandacanning l PHOTOGRAPHS SARAH COGHILL @SarahCoghill1 TheThe doors of Margit are pulledjourney shut, its passengers huddled within, and the tiered, wooden funicular is hoisted up Castle Hill, clanking beneath two wrought-iron pedestrian bridges on its 95-metre journey. Opened in 1870, the Budavári Sikló funicular still exerts a particular pull on visitors to Budapest: you can’t come and not ride at least once in its burgundy carriages. Emerging at the top, people soon disperse – some stopping to take photos with the armed sentries guarding the presidential palace, others rummaging for lace in an antiques shop or stopping for a Borsodi beer on a cobbled square. All will end up at Fisherman’s Bastion, a fanciful, Neo-Gothic terrace, complete with turrets, and dragons hiding in the stonework. It’s worth jostling past the inevitable crowds to peer through the bastion’s open windows at the Danube and Parliament far below, before diving back into the quieter streets of Castle Hill and making your own discoveries. l Return journey on funicular £4 Fisherman’s Bastion, built in the TRAVEL ESSENTIALS BA, easyJet, Jet2.com, Norwegian Air Shuttle, Ryanair and Wizz Air fly to Budapest from the UK (from £70; wizzair.com).

  • The Jewish Quarter of Budapest
    The Jewish Quarter of Budapest: Authenticity and Commodification of Culture ———— Fruzsina Csala Supervisor: Tatiana Debroux Advisor: Ruba Saleh Date of submission: 1st June 2020 Master thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Urban Studies (VUB) and Master of Science in Geography, general orientation, track ‘Urban Studies’ (ULB) Master in Urban Studies – Academic year 2019-2020 Abstract Since the 1989 regime change, Inner-Erzsébetváros has undergone rapid transformation and gentrification. This process was not planned but the dialectics of top-down policies and bottom- up initiatives have been the force that shaped the neighbourhood for the past three decades. As being both the Jewish Quarter and the Party Quarter of Budapest, Inner-Erzsébetváros is the most controversial area of the historic city centre of Budapest. The Jewish Quarter is a symbolic space, as most of the representative places of the religious institutional system are located there, and also a space where Jewish culture is present in a commodified way both for Jews & non-Jews and tourists & locals alike. The Party Quarter as an accumulation of bars, nightclubs and eateries is a recent phenomenon of the 2010s. Such function of the neighbourhood is a result of unregulated service hours and a growing number of party tourists. In this context, the main research question – How does the Jewish heritage contribute to the present-day character of Inner-Erzsébetváros – provides a framework to the thesis. Two complementary sets of methods were used to answer the research question(s): (1) online desk research & stakeholder and expert interviews, and (2) perceptions mapping & in-depth field observation.

The other is represented by the constant roar of the machines, the deafening noise and the dust clouds from the pneu- matic drill, the rhythmical sound of the suburban railway, the hubbub of construction workers, and the tight archaeological deadlines. At the site of the former Óbuda Distillery, during the almost three years of test and rescue excavations, we have encountered nearly all known elements of urban archaeology. We also appreciate that, in spite of the difficulties, we were given a unique, extraordinary and perhaps unparal- leled opportunity. The site, after all, lies at the edge of the historical cores of the Roman Military Town and medieval Óbuda. The excavation site is noteworthy not only in terms of its vertical but also its horizontal extent. Following the highly informative period of fieldwork, hopefully we can begin the analysis as soon as possible, through which we may understand, step by step, the significance of this special place, where, until now, there lay the stratigraphic sequence of six thousand years of human presence.

Abstract In this paper I propose to analyse the emergence and evolution of one particular urban cultural space in Budapest, The House of Contemporary Arts, more commonly known by the moniker Trafó. This attempt is part of a larger project that encompasses five urban cultural spaces that have emerged in post-socialist Budapest for the past 20 years with histories that go back well before these times. I regard these urban cultural spaces as part of the global urban phenomenon that sees derelict urban industrial sites revamped into chic post-industrial urban cultural venues. Each of these urban spaces in various ways have re-enacted this pattern, but each instance I argue, presents yet again modified practices and meanings, and thus together they constitute a wider dynamic field symptomatic of a wider urban socio-spatial restructuring of post- socialist Budapest. I approach these urban cultural spaces as representation and synecdoche of the city, as a locus for understanding intersections of broader concerns facing urban residents and scholars alike, including social relations, public space and civic life, privatization and state formation, and economic and cultural globalization.

INTRODUCTION HERE had been multiple “Jewish Quarters” in Budapest Tduring the previous centuries. On the Buda side of the River Danube, Jewish residents occupied a part of the Buda Castle Hill, and they also lived a little northern, in Óbuda. On the Pest side, the so-called Old Pest Jewish Quarter is situated in the neighborhood of the present District 7; the new Jewish Quarter of Budapest later became Újlipótváros, todays’ District 13 [1].
