Hungarian women's participation in both politics and the arts has been recognized, if at all, mainly in relation to the role Hungarian women fulfilled as mothers and wives and supporters of men in their fight for various causes. Or, as for the arts, their work has been measured by standards set by a largely male- dominated establishment whose interests do not necessarily serve the in- terests of women writers and artists. Often the contributions of women to the culture both in Hungary proper and in the Diaspora have been under- valued or misinterpreted according to masculinist norms of quality, aesthetics and reason. It is no surprise that in Hungary, as in Western Europe and North America, women's intellectual work is denigrated as trivial, dealing with topics not considered adequately "universal" to be taken seriously by the legitimate judges of taste and value. During the communist era in Hungary, publications about women's issues were scarce, and a critique of the state socialist interpretation of "the woman question" was all but forbidden. According to communist party doctrine, women were emancipated by their equal right to and acquisition of paid labour. Hungarian women, like Russian women, were portrayed as happy workers, released from the drudgery of home and hearth. Nevertheless, there were signs of equity in the public sphere: women had the right to work and were paid the same salary for the same type of work as men. Moreover, the state provided inexpensive childcare. But the ideology that supported these otherwise progressive initiatives was conventional, unchanged and oppressive for women in the family and in other aspects of both the private and public spheres. Thus, women still tolerated oppressive laws and social controls in Hungary. They perse- vered the double burden of paid productive labour and unpaid "unproduc- tive" labour in the household; gender stereotypes were reproduced in the family, in society and understandably extended into the workplace; women's bodies and reproductive rights were still in large measure controlled by the state. To make matters worse, these important topics were rarely discussed in a public forum. As a matter of fact, the National Council of Hungarian Women, the "official" women's organization during the communist era, helped the state maintain the hypocritical ideology because, as an organ of government, this Council did nothing to foster a critique of either the communist agenda for women, nor the condition of women's lives.1 In the years following the fall of the Iron Curtain, a heightened awareness of women's issues has emerged in Hungary. Women have organized themselves politically and initiated diverse political groups. There has been more research with a focus on inequalities and discrimina- tion based on gender, be it in education or in society in general. More- over, Hungarian scholars are, like feminist scholars abroad, interested in uncovering women's forgotten history. Although women's studies as a degree programme is still not taught at Hungarian universities, in the past decade several initiatives at a few universities have resulted in courses in various disciplines that fall within the disciplinary category of women's studies. At Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest, Eva Thun, one of this volume's contributors, has been teaching a course on feminist pedagogy for several years now, and Judit Acsady, another of our contributors, initiated, while still a student, a series of lectures on "Woman and Society" in 1989. Publications on various women's and gender studies- related topics have multiplied over the past years, in the form of articles in newspapers and/or magazines; special volumes (such as Ferfiuralom [Male Rule], Miklos Hadas, ed., Replika-series, Budapest, 1994); antholo- gies (Magyar koltonok antologidja

    University of Alberta Making Magyars, Creating Hungary: András Fáy, István Bezerédj and Ödön Beöthy’s Reform-Era Contributions to the Development of Hungarian Civil Society by Eva Margaret Bodnar A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics © Eva Margaret Bodnar Spring 2011 Edmonton, Alberta Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only.

Abstract The relationship between magyarization and Hungarian civil society during the reform era of Hungarian history (1790-1848) is the subject of this dissertation. This thesis examines the cultural and political activities of three liberal oppositional nobles: András Fáy (1786-1864), István Bezerédj (1796-1856) and Ödön Beöthy (1796-1854). These three men were chosen as the basis of this study because of their commitment to a two- pronged approach to politics: they advocated greater cultural magyarization in the multiethnic Hungarian Kingdom and campaigned to extend the protection of the Hungarian constitution to segments of the non-aristocratic portion of the Hungarian population.

  • The Hungarian Historical Review
    Hungarian Historical Review 3, no. 4 (2014): 729–748 Zsófia Kádár The Difficulties of Conversion Non-Catholic Students in Jesuit Colleges in Western Hungary in the First Half of the Seventeenth Century The societies of the multiethnic and multilingual region of Central Europe became more diverse through the emergence of distinct confessions (Konfessionalisierung). The first half of the seventeenth century is especially interesting in this regard. In this period, the Catholic Church started to win back its positions in the Hungarian Kingdom as well, but the institutionalization of the Protestant denominations had by that time essentially reached completion. The schools, which were sustained by the various denominations, became the most efficient devices of religious education, persuasion and conversion. In this essay I present, through the example of the Jesuit colleges of western Hungary, the denominational proportions and movements of the students in the largely non-Catholic urban settings. Examining two basic types of sources, the annual accounts (Litterae Annuae) of the Society of Jesus and the registries of the Jesuit colleges in Győr and Pozsony (today Bratislava, Slovakia), I compare and contrast the data and venture an answer to questions regarding the kinds of opportunities non- Catholic students had in the Jesuit colleges. In contrast with the assertions made in earlier historiography, I conclude that conversion was not so widespread in the case of the non-Catholic students of the Jesuits. They were not discriminated against in their education, and some of them remained true to their confessions to the end of their studies in the colleges. Keywords: conversion, Jesuit colleges, school registries, annual accounts (Litterae Annuae), denominations in towns, urban history, Hungary, Győr, Pozsony, Pressburg, Bratislava, Sopron A student, the son of a soldier or a burgher, took leave of Calvinism, an act with which he completely infuriated his parents, so much so that his father planned to kill him.

  • Between Emancipation and Antisemitism: Jewish Presence in Parliamentary Politics in Hungary 1867–1884
    BETWEEN EMANCIPATION AND ANTISEMITISM: JEWISH PRESENCE IN PARLIAMENTARY POLITICS IN HUNGARY 1867–1884 Árpád Welker THE PERIOD UNDER STUDY The early 1880s were both difficult and extraordinary from the point of view of Hungarian Jewry. Political antisemitism had been present for half a decade, but it became violent and influential during these years, though only for these years. In other words, this was a time of crisis within the ‘Golden Era’ of the Hungarian Jewry, as some researchers of Hungarian Jews call the period of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy 1867–1918. [1] Besides antisemitism ‘normal’ political debate took place in parliament simultaneously, namely that related to the bill on Jewish–Christian marriages, which was also decisive from a Jewish point of view. The ‘antisemitic wave’ started with the attempts to establish a nation-wide movement, the Central Association of Non-Jewish Hungarians, following the example of Wilhelm Marr’s Antisemitenliga in Germany. [2] This period of virulent antisemitic activity culminated in the events related to the infamous Tiszaeszlár blood libel case, including a series of riots threatening the safety of Jews in numerous counties, and the foundation of the National Antisemitic Party in 1883. After the clear defeat of the antisemites in the elections of 1884, antisemitism practically became insignificant. [3] It took ten years until a political party incorporated antisemitism in its programme again, but the antisemitism of the Catholic People’s Party was ‘less virulent’, [4] and neither their only nor even their main goal. THE ‘DOUBLE PROGRAMME OF EMANCIPATION AND ASSIMILATION’ András Kovács in an article about the relationship between politics and Hungarian Jews argues that ‘independent Jewish politics has no tradition in the history of Hungarian Jewry’.

Benjamin Kallay, at the request of the Hungarian minister president, Andrâssy, was appointed consul at Belgrade in 1868, and thereafter pursued specifically Hungarian objectives at variance with those of the chancellor and foreign minister, Beust. The Hungarian influence on the Monarchy’s relations with Serbia was ultimately responsible for a deterioration in those relations. After the Introduction, which outlines the subject, with reference to the existing literature and sources consulted, the first chapter concentrates on the situation in 1867.

  • The Holy Crown of Hungary, Visible and Invisible LA´ SZLO´ PE´ TER
    SEER, Vol. 81,No.3, July 2003 The Holy Crown of Hungary, Visible and Invisible LA´ SZLO´ PE´ TER The reader at this point will certainly ask: how it is possible that a national relic of such great significance has never been properly examined in order to attain satisfactory conclusions [about its origin]. The answer is as contradictory as unexpected: precisely because such importance was attached to the crown; because it has been treated as the greatest national treasure. Ka´lma´n Benda and Erik Fu¨gedi on the Holy Crown1 The history of political ideas reveals continuities and unexpected revivals. Too frequently it proves premature to pronounce a political idea dead. A well-known example which demonstrates that major political ideas hardly ever disappear without trace has been the re- emergence of the natural law theory which had spent years in the doldrums while utilitarianism dominated political philosophy in Britain and America.2 Ideas whose impact is more limited and confined to a single national society could, likewise, unexpectedly revive after their apparent demise. When over forty years ago the present writer, working towards his DPhil in Oxford, took up the doctrine of the Holy Crown of Hungary, he thought that the subject was of purely historical interest, or at least one without any direct relevance to Hungarian politics, present and future. The reason why this assumption looked obvious at the time was not even primarily because Hungary, as a part of the Soviet bloc, was ruled by Communists who rejected and sneered at any political La´szlo´ Pe´ter is Emeritus Professor of Hungarian History at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London.

  • Why Did István Türr Become an Adult Educator? Personal Aims and Actions in the Establisment, National Development of Folk Education Circles (Népoktatási Körök)
    154 Bamberg Conference 2006 155 Németh, Balázs Faculty of Adult Education and HRD, University of Pécs, Hungary [email protected] Why did István Türr become an adult educator? Personal aims and actions in the establisment, national development of Folk Education Circles (Népoktatási Körök). Abstract: This paper will elaborate upon the personality and personal impact of István Türr on the development of hungarian adult education. Türr was the founder and one of the leading figures in the establishment of so-called Folk Education Circles and its related movement in order to start the education of more than 4 million hungarian illiterate adults. The great Hungarian politician voluntarily became an adult educator as he, having met some peculiar examples of adult education in France and Italy during his exile, recognised that one key element of being an enlighetened statesman was to join the hungarian Aufklärung after the 1867 compromise with Austria. Therefore, apart from supporting and organising economic modernisation of modern Hungary, Türr believed in the neccessity of education of adults not only through informal, but also through formal or semi-formal education. This paper, based upon relevant bibliography, will examine major impacts to have formed his and some of his fellow intellectuals’ minds in becoming moral leaders in hungarian adult education. Chapter 1 Sub-chapter 1.1 A short walk of life of István Türr István Türr was born into a well-off bourgeois family in the small merchant-city of Baja on the bank of the river Danube on the 10th of August, 1825. He had a personal experience of unexpectedly having to stop attending school after the first four years for a while because of the sudden death of his father.
