A woman in her fifties, bespectacled, with short hair dyed a dark brown, and wearing an ankle-length white skirt and a long-sleeved white top despite the heat, had just asked the greengrocer for a kilo of strawberries. “Protekciós epret”, said the woman, thereby setting me an impossible task of repeating in English what it was that she wanted. For while ‘epret’ is easily translated as ‘strawberries’, there is no English equivalent that would capture the meaning of protekciós in its entirety. Dictionary entries list ‘patronized’, ‘backed’, ‘using back-stair influence’, ‘pulling strings’ to describe the term. But the woman was also trying to request preferential treatment by invoking a practice that had been central to managing everyday life under the decades of soft dictatorship in Hungary. Helping each other out through informal networks, seeking favours in exchange for favours, and in the process bending the rules if necessary was a pervasive way of getting what one wanted – right down to a pound of decent fruit. The greengrocer, a jovial moustached man also in his fifties, had picked up the customer’s meaning, and he replied, “Ma’am, the Kádár era is over. There is no more protekciós strawberry”. Slightly flustered, the woman hastened to add that she was taking the strawberries to someone who was in hospital, and then, just to be on the safe side, she repeated that the greengrocer should nevertheless add a few protekciós strawberries to the bag of fruit he was putting together for her. “If I have nice fruit, everyone gets it”, the greengrocer responded. And then he added, “What would Kádár say if he heard what you’ve just said?” Others in the line picked up the theme and started making jokes about the demise of protekciós strawberries and how they too would be glad to get some of those. In the 3 meantime, the woman paid the greengrocer, grabbed her bag of fruit, and walked away without another word. This scene at the greengrocer’s involved a mundane setting and a banal issue, but the circumstances only highlight the importance of the incident. For a few moments, the market of Klauzál tér was transformed into the forum, a public space where citizens were actively making sense of politics in everyday life. Such flashes of democratic meaning making are pervasive, but they tend to be ignored in academic research in Hungary. They belong to the sphere of everyday life which does not routinely feature in assessments of political participation or the state of democracy. The appearance of information and communication technologies (ICTs), and especially the internet, holds the promise of extending participatory opportunities to increasingly wide layers of society. In this process, the meaning of the political is also extended to activities and arenas not considered to be politically relevant before. ICTs make everyday political exchanges not only more accessible to citizens, but also more visible to theorists and researchers. It is from these assumptions that the dissertation starts out, and it brings together a diverse set of academic traditions to examine how the mundane exchanges of citizens, as exemplified by the face-to-face scene featuring the strawberries, can become important for democracy. Democratic theory, internet studies, political communication, and history provide the theoretical background to this inquiry aimed at exploring in depth the daily working of an online Hungarian discussion forum dedicated to politics. In an attempt to bridge the divide between the political and the cultural approaches to communication phenomena, the dissertation also relies on culturalist analysis where it is relevant. Amidst the borrowing, mixture, and hybridity of theories, the dissertation runs the risk of acquiring a stamp of bricolage. However, the arguments throughout the chapters are driven by the conviction, also 4 born out by the research, that “Discussion is a way of combining information and enlarging the range of arguments. At least in the course of time, the effects of common deliberation seem bound to improve matters” (Rawls 1971) (p. 359). 5 CHAPTER 1: POLITICAL DISCUSSION IN THEORY, PRACTICE, AND HISTORY Democratic Theories and Political Discussion Political discussion is a fact of life. It is a practice that is present in everyday life: citizens either engage in it actively with varying frequency, or at the least they can recognise it and understand it to be an integral part of life under democracy. Conceptualising its role, however, is made more difficult by the competing theoretical frameworks of democracy that rely on different conceptions of human reason, the sphere of the political, citizen participation, or the possibility of articulating the common good. Accordingly, political discussion can at the extremes be dismissed as meaningless and irrelevant, or celebrated as the lifeblood of democracy. The emergence of deliberative theories of democracy, which signalled a ‘communicative turn’ in political thought, seems to have tipped the scales for the latter conception. At the same time, there are competing theories of democracy that continue

Political parties and welfare associations. Doctoral Dissertation in Sociology at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Umeå University, 2007. ISBN 978-91-7264-478-6 ISSN 1104-2508 ABSTRACT Scandinavian countries are usually assumed to be less disposed than other countries to involve associations as welfare producers. They are assumed to be so disinclined due to their strong statutory welfare involvement, which “crowds-out” associational welfare production; their ethnic, cultural and religious homogeneity, which leads to a lack of minority interests in associational welfare production; and to their strong working-class organisations, which are supposed to prefer statutory welfare solutions. These assumptions are questioned here, because they cannot account for salient associational welfare production in the welfare areas of housing and child-care in two Scandinavian countries, Sweden and Norway. In order to approach an explanation for the phenomena of associational welfare production in Sweden and Norway, some refinements of current theories are suggested. First, it is argued that welfare associations usually depend on statutory support in order to produce welfare on a salient level. Second, it is supposed that any form of particularistic interest in welfare production, not only ethnic, cultural or religious minority interests, can lead to associational welfare. With respect to these assumptions, this thesis supposes that political parties are organisations that, on one hand, influence statutory decisions regarding associational welfare production, and, on the other hand, pursue particularistic interests in associational welfare production.

  • Shirt Movements in Interwar Europe: a Totalitarian Fashion
    Ler História | 72 | 2018 | pp. 151-173 SHIRT MOVEMENTS IN INTERWAR EUROPE: A TOTALITARIAN FASHION Juan Francisco Fuentes 151 Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain [email protected] The article deals with a typical phenomenon of the interwar period: the proliferation of socio-political movements expressing their “mood” and identity via a paramilitary uniform mainly composed of a coloured shirt. The analysis of 34 European shirt movements reveals some common features in terms of colour, ideology and chronology. Most of them were consistent with the logic and imagery of interwar totalitarianisms, which emerged as an alleged alternative to the decaying bourgeois society and its main political creation: the Parliamentary system. Unlike liBeral pluralism and its institutional expression, shirt move- ments embody the idea of a homogeneous community, based on a racial, social or cultural identity, and defend the streets, not the Ballot Boxes, as a new source of legitimacy. They perfectly mirror the overwhelming presence of the “brutalization of politics” (Mosse) and “senso-propaganda” (Chakhotin) in interwar Europe. Keywords: fascism, Nazism, totalitarianism, shirt movements, interwar period. Resumo (PT) no final do artigo. Résumé (FR) en fin d’article. “Of all items of clothing, shirts are the most important from a politi- cal point of view”, Eugenio Xammar, Berlin correspondent of the Spanish newspaper Ahora, wrote in 1932 (2005b, 74). The ability of the body and clothing to sublimate, to conceal or to express the intentions of a political actor was by no means a discovery of interwar totalitarianisms. Antoine de Baecque studied the political dimension of the body as metaphor in eighteenth-century France, paying special attention to the three specific func- tions that it played in the transition from the Ancien Régime to revolutionary France: embodying the state, narrating history and peopling ceremonies.

  • Hemingwaytg 2014.Indd
    Examining an author’s life can inform and expand the reader’s understanding of a novel. Biographical criticism is the practice of analyzing a literary work through the lens of an author’s experience. In this lesson, explore the author’s life to understand the novel more fully. 1 Ernest Hemingway grew up in Oak Park, Illinois, one of six children. In Lesson One 1917, the year President Wilson declared war on Germany, Hemingway graduated from high school. Instead of going to college, he became a FOCUS: reporter for a small newspaper. As a journalist, Hemingway learned to write concisely, using active verbs and brief, clear paragraphs. Many young Biography men were entering the military, but Hemingway’s vision did not meet military standards. Instead, he applied to the Red Cross as an ambulance driver and, in 1918, found himself in France and then in Italy. A Farewell to Arms, published in 1929, draws on the details of his wartime injury, his friendships, and his love affairs. ?? Discussion Activities Listen to The Big Read Audio Guide. Students should take notes as they listen. Ask them to present the three most important points they learned from the Audio Guide. Distribute Reader’s Guide essays, “Introduction to the Novel,” “Ernest Hemingway, 1899- 1961,” and “Hemingway and World War I.” Divide the class into groups. Assign one essay to each group. After reading and discussing the essays, groups will present what they have learned to the class. Ask students to add creative twists to make their presentations memorable. ?? Writing Exercise Have students read Chapter I.

They also indicate which party family is leading in the national polls. • Parties belonging to the EPP family are (in national polls) the strongest political family in 12 (-1 compared with the last barometer) countries . The Socialist family is leading in 6 (+1), the Liberal family in 4 (+1) countries,the Eurosceptic Conservatives in 2 (-2), parties affiliated to the Green/EFA-Group in 1 (+1) country. In France and Latvia, unaffiliated movements /parties are stronger than any party family, in Italy the far-right is the strongest political family. • If one looks only at the political colour of the strongest political force (and not the entire party family), an EPP party is leading in 10 countries, the Socialists in 8, the ALDE in 4, the ECR in 3 each, Greens, independents and right-wing populists in one each • In many countries, the advantage of the leading political family in the opinion polls is very slim (France, Spain, Slovakia, Finland, Belgium, Lithuania). • The EPP familiy enjoys a relatively strong support in the opinion polls (above 30%) in Germany, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Austria, Croatia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Portugal, Greece, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus • In the European Council, 9 (+1) Heads of State and Government belong to the EPP family, 8 to the Liberals, 5 to the Socialists/Social Democrats, 2 to the Eurosceptic Conservatives, one to the European Left.

    Widening Horizons 2018 ‘True education goes on throughout your life in many 2008-2009 SEASON different ways and places’ Beyond the Examination “Never just learn to pass exams. Learn for the sake of acquiring knowledge.” Much of what you do in class over the next few years will inevitably be focused on external examinations. But we all know there is much, much more to your education than just doing as well as you can in exams. True education goes on throughout your life in many different ways and places. Your teachers will often be able to take you way outside the exam syllabus but we want you to be able to find areas of academic interest that mean a lot to you personally and are not always restricted to the subjects you have chosen to study. This booklet is to help you think about areas that may spark off individual interests for you. They may cross subject boundaries and may help you develop areas of specialisms that you will be able to follow throughout your life, either as a professional interest or as an absorbing hobby. Take some time to read through subjects you may think you are not very interested in as well as those you are. Just because you have not chosen to follow a subject to GCSE or A Level does not mean that there will not be aspects of the subject that could absolutely fascinate you. We want you to find endless stimulation and challenge in intellectual areas. That has nothing to do with examination but everything to do with a full life.
