Rich Associate Professor of Art History Craig Zabel Head of the Department of Art History Michael Bernhard Associate Professor of Political Science *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT From Activism to Kinetism: Modernist Spaces in Hungarian Art, 1918-1930. Budapest – Vienna – Berlin investigates modernist art created in Central Europe of that period, as it responded to the shock effects of modernity. In this endeavor it takes artists directly or indirectly associated with the MA (“Today,” 1916-1925) Hungarian artistic and literary circle and periodical as paradigmatic of this response. From the loose association of artists and literary men, connected more by their ideas than by a distinct style, I single out works by Lajos Kassák – writer, poet, artist, editor, and the main mover and guiding star of MA , – the painter Sándor Bortnyik, the polymath László Moholy- Nagy, and the designer Marcel Breuer. This exclusive selection is based on a particular agenda. First, it considers how the failure of a revolutionary reorganization of society during the Hungarian Soviet Republic (April 23 – August 1, 1919) at the end of World War I prompted the Hungarian Activists to reassess their lofty political ideals in exile and make compromises if they wanted to remain in the vanguard of modernity.

They built cities, villages, villas, stone-houses, road network, and in several places high-leaded water-conduits, and they also felled forests, and drained moorlands for example at the Lake Balaton. The Roman villa The Roman legions appeared in the Hungarian Transdanubia at the beginning of the 1st century A.D. They organized Pannonia Province, which became a very important borderland of the Roman Empire. They built cities, villages, villas, roads, and in several places high- leaded water-conduits (so-called aquaeductus), and they also felled forests, and drained moorlands. The Production of the Roman villas gave the great mass of the agricultural and commercial background of the Province. The Roman villa was a cultivation and stock-raising adapted farm unit: it was a collection of farming- and dwelling-houses, which included the several farm buildings, the houses of the land-livings and the owner’s house often as comfortable as an urban one. Estates (named fundus) always belonged to the villas.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Today the word archaeology, the study of man's past by mcans of the material relics left to posterity, is, of course, familiar. But the public still associates the concept of aIchaeology with that of the so-called clas;ical world, for the public is familiar with the spectacular discoveries of thc last century in Greece, Italy, Asia MinoT, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. Relatively unkno'w!l, however, are more recent discoveries i1) the various provinces of the Roman Empire, where some of the most important large.scale excavations are currently taking place. The artifacts uncovered bring to light the picture of a fascinating culture, snggesting the inge­ nuity of the indigenous population. We catch a glimpse of life at the time of the Romans, before and during the early years of Christianity, not at the usual centers, bUl at the frontiers of Ccntral Europe. When the power of the Roman Empire was on the wane, these provinces became as vital to the Romans as the Italian peninsula itself. The fate of the borders became more crucial than ever before. Pannonia was one of thesc border provinces in Central Europe, lying in the Danube Valley, bctween the Alps and the Carpathian Mountains. Its borders were the Danube River in the north and east, the Alps to the west, and the Sava River in the s.outh. The territory corre sponds to present. day Hungary, the so<alled trans-Danubc area. Northwest Pannonia was thc present-day Burgenland of modem Austria, but it stretched into the Vienna Valley as well. South Pannonia covered the area between the Drava and Sava rivers which belongs to modem Yugoslavia.

The goal of our analysis has been to estimate the macroeconomic impacts of Pannonia Bio Zrt., a biorefinery. This is the first of two studies- focusing on an ex-post analysis for the five-year period covering 2015 and 2019. The next study will be an ex-ante analysis for the five-year period covering 2020-2024. 2. The overall impact is the sum of direct and indirect impacts. Pannonia Bio's direct impacts come from its own employment, value added, export, and tax payments. Indirect impacts, by definition, are the sum of the other impacts that Pannonia Bio has on the rest of the economy. The indirect effects are estimated from a calibrated CGE model for Hungary for the 2015-2019 period. 3. The CGE model used is an updated version of the model Major used in 2016 to estimate the macroeconomic impact of the same company for the period 2010-2020, of which 2016-2020 was based on projections. Depending on the scenario for the period 2016-2020 the estimated effect of the company on GDP was between 720 and 1,035 million euros; the employment effect was between around 1,300 and 2,150 persons on yearly average (most of which was indirect effects).

  • A Millennium of Migrations: Proto-Historic Mobile Pastoralism in Hungary
    Bull. Fla. Mus. Nat. Hist. (2003) 44(1) 101-130 101 A MILLENNIUM OF MIGRATIONS: PROTO-HISTORIC MOBILE PASTORALISM IN HUNGARY Ldsz16 Bartosiewiczl During the A.D. 1st millennium, numerous waves of mobile pastoral communities of Eurasian origins reached the area of modern- day Hungary in the Carpathian Basin. This paper reviews animal exploitation as reconstructed from animal remains found at the settlements of Sarmatian, Avar/Slavic, and Early ("Conquering") Hungarian populations. According to the historical record, most of these communities turned to sedentism. Archaeological assemblages also manifest evidence of animal keeping, such as sheep and/or goat herding, as well as pig, cattle, and horse. Such functional similarities, however, should not be mistaken for de facto cultural continuity among the zooarchaeological data discussed here within the contexts of environment and cultural history. Following a critical assessment of assemblages available for study, analysis of species frequencies shed light on ancient li feways of pastoral communities intransition. Spatial limitations (both geographical and political), as well as a climate, more temperate than in the Eurasian Steppe Belt, altered animal-keeping practices and encouraged sedentism. Key words: Central European Migration, environmental determinism, nomadism, pastoral animal keeping Zoarchaeological data central to this paper originate from Data used in this study represent the lowest common settlements spanning much of the A.D. 1st millennium denominator of the three different

    Questionable History August 22, 2016 - March 24, 2017 Introduction Museums present their knowledge to a wider public. But where does the information come from? Even when we are successful in establishing hard facts, we will always find different ways to inter- pret them and make them part of a larger history. Usually, museum exhibitions offer a single point of view, neatly printed on the in- formation label next to a display. As a result, most visitors are not aware of the discussions, disputes, fights and feuds behind even the simplest text sign. In this exhibition, we leave the traditional sin- gle-perspective approach behind by presenting multiple interpreta- tions of the same work, which can be true and contradictory at the same time. These interpretations are seperated on the following pages by a black line. The Wende Museum gives special thanks to Fiona Chalom for her generous loan 3 Ion Panteli-Stanciu (1901-1981), Great Constructions (The Building of the Palace Hall), 1959, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, Romania, Collection Fiona Chalom 4 Great Constructions (The Building of the Palace Hall) Currently used as a concert hall, the Bucharest landmark “Sala Palatu- lui” (Palace Hall) was built in 1959-60 as a conference center that hosted meetings of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, the World Congress on Population, and the World Congress on Energy, to name a few.
