  • US Historian Timothy Snyder Keynotes 3Rd Vienna Humanities Festival 40 Conversations Over 4 Days on the Topic of "Power and Powerlessness"
    US historian Timothy Snyder keynotes 3rd Vienna Humanities Festival 40 conversations over 4 days on the topic of "Power and Powerlessness" The third Vienna Humanities Festival – organized by IWM, Time to Talk, and Wien Museum – brings together leading thinkers from the academy, arts, and culture. They meet at a kind of urban salon, held from September 27 to 30. The 40 events, half of them in English, address the big questions of our time under the theme of “Power & Powerlessness.” The crisis of democracy and the rise of fundamentalisms are among the topics we will discuss along with ways to combat these developments. Prominent American historian Timothy Snyder will open the festival, presenting his new and much-discussed book “The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America” at a Wiener Vorlesung in City Hall. Snyder, a permanent fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna, analyzes the ascent of a new “right international” and discusses its dangers for the basic tenets of democracy. Topics of global political relevance are central to the rest of the program as well. Michael Ignatieff, historian and Rector of the Central European University (CEU) in Budapest, speaks about the need to defend academic freedom. The Belgian political scientist Chantal Mouffe makes an argument for a leftist populism as an antidote to the new right. Andreas Treichl, CEO of the Erste Group Bank, addresses the power of money and banking. A debate on the #MeToo-movement is also part of the festival’s program as is a critical analysis of gender roles and the status of women’s emancipation.

  • Academic Freedom in Danger. Fact Files on the ‘CEU Affair’
    Südosteuropa 65 (2017), no. 2, pp. 412-436 SPOTLIGHT BALÁZS TRENCSÉNYI, ALFRED J. RIEBER, CONSTANTIN IORDACHI, ADELA HÎNCU Academic Freedom in Danger. Fact Files on the ‘CEU Affair’ Abstract. In the beginning of April this year, the Hungarian Parliament passed two amend- ments to the existing educational law, which in their particular formulation targeted specif- ically the renowned Central European University in Budapest and sought to undermine the legal basis of its existence in Hungary. In four contributions leading academics and a PhD student of the History Department of the Central European University place the latest events in context, provide insights into the institutional set-up and the development of the History Department, and explain why this institution is special and worth fighting for. Balázs Trencsényi is Professor of History at the Central European University. Alfred J. Rieber is University Professor Emeritus, Central European University, and Professor Emeritus, University of Pennsylvania. Constantin Iordachi is Professor of History at the Central European University. Adela Hîncu is a PhD Candidate in History at the Central European University. The Political Context Balázs Trencsényi In the following short thematic block, the four authors of this ‘Spotlight on the CEU affair’ intend to provide context for the recent developments that sur- round the Central European University (CEU, www.ceu.edu). It is followed by an extensive—though not exhaustive—press review on the CEU affair in major international media.1 The situation escalated after 4 April 2017, when the Hungarian Parliament reduced the parliamentary debate to a three-hour plenary discussion and passed an amendment to the higher education act that undermines the continuing operation of CEU in the country—all without any previous consultation oth- 1 We would like to thank Adri Bruckner and Stefan Roch for compiling the press review, as well as Cody Inglis for linguistic editing.
