  • Culture Report Eunic Yearbook 2011 Culture Report Eunic Yearbook 2011
    CULTURE REPORT EUNIC YEARBOOK 2011 CULTURE REPORT EUNIC YEARBOOK 2011 Cultural relations are the glue that holds alliances together. The geopolitics of the 21st century mean we need to see a revival of cultural diplomacy. China and India are already expanding their external cultural policies. Despite Europe‘s huge cultural diversity, the EU has still not developed an adequate cultural strategy for its foreign policy. The establishment of the European External Action Service (EEAS) provides an opportunity to tighten up and co-ordinate the EU‘s existing cultural foreign policy. In this edition of the Culture Report, 30 authors from 20 different countries examine what this all means. Foreword: Crisis and new awakenings by Sebastian Körber 4 CHAPTER 1: EXTERNAL PERSPECTIVES A Brave New World - Globalisation as Europe’s touchstone by Yang Lian 8 All talk and no action by Mai’a K.

The artistic and educational part of the celebrations entitled "Poznań and Budapest as cities of Freedom - 1956, 1989" will start at 1:30 p.m. at the Rialto Cinema. The program will further include: film screenings, lectures and a concert of the Tamás Szarka Trio. The Hungarian revolution of 1956 began on 23 October with a rally of students in Budapest as a sign of solidarity with Poland. The demonstrators referred to the workers' uprising of 28 June 1956 in Poznan. The Hungarian Revolt was an attempt of the Hungarian people to free themselves from Soviet domination and break the monopoly of the communist party. Unfortunately, this heroic act of courage was bloodily suppressed by the Soviet army, which entered Budapest on 4 November 1956. In total 2,700 Hungarians were killed as a result of the Soviet intervention, and almost 20,000 were wounded. Due to the situation prevailing after the revolution in Hungary, about 200,000 people who feared repression, fled the country.

  • New Directions in Cultural Diplomacy
    This is an advance copy of an essay to be published in 2010 by Real Instituto Elcano, Madrid, in a collection entitled “Cultura y Proyección Exterior: Nuevos Valores y Estrategias de Acción”. It is not to be reproduced or circulated without the approval of the author. New Directions Steve Green1 William Gibson’s frequently quoted statement “the future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed”, applies to cultural diplomacy. The new directions promise to usher in a transformation of cultural diplomacy. They will add new strands of activity, lead to a re-assessment of existing ways of operating and introduce new items to the cultural diplomacy toolkit. This essay surveys the new directions in global cultural diplomacy. A standard difficulty in surveys is the lack of an agreed terminology. Is the field to be referred to as “cultural diplomacy”, “cultural PR”, “public diplomacy”, “nation branding”? Different countries, different organizations, different authors use the terms almost interchangeably. This essay uses “cultural diplomacy” and returns to the terminology issue in its final section. It will be useful to start with a set of opening parameters in mind. Rod Fisher has a seven point list of the principal objectives of a country’s foreign cultural policy. They are: • to promote cultural diplomacy • to develop cultural relations • to support the export of a nation’s cultural products and creative industries • to underpin the development of beneficial new trading arrangements • to attract tourism and perhaps inward investment • to enhance programme aid in developing countries and • To create an informed and primarily favourable picture of a country to the “outside world”.2 1 Steve Green is Team Leader for the EUNIC presidency.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PANORAMA EUROPE FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS FOR ITS TENTH YEAR WITH A SELECTION OF SIXTEEN FEATURE FILMS AND ONE SHORTS PROGRAM May 4–31, 2018 at Museum of the Moving Image and Bohemian National Hall Festival opens on Friday, May 4 with the experimental art-world documentary thriller The End of Fear Closing night program on Thursday, May 31 is a new restoration of the Czech classic Case for the New Hangman New York, NY, April 12, 2018—Panorama Europe 2018, the tenth edition of the essential festival of new and vital European cinema, co-presented by Museum of the Moving Image and the members of EUNIC (European Union National Institutes for Culture), includes fiction and documentary works that present a portrait of contemporary Europe during a period of tremendous flux. The festival, which launched in 2009 by Czech Center New York, continues to give New Yorkers an eclectic overview of the current European film scene. Highlighting recent films from throughout the continent, several of the films explore dialogues between the historic upheavals of the twentieth century and the current moment. The programmer of this year’s edition of the festival, Nellie Killian, says, “Bringing a more unified curatorial voice to the Panorama Europe line up was an interesting challenge. While the films still range in style and subject matter, representing the diversity of the various countries, there were so many opportunities to find resonances between recent films. For example, Ruth Beckerman’s The Dreamed Ones and Rita Azevedo Gomes’s Correspondences each take an experimental approach to the epistolary film, using letters between famed poets (Paul Celan and Ingeborg Bachman from Austria and Sophia de Mello Breyner and Jorge de Sena from Portugal) to explore themes of displacement and memory.

  • Exiled Hungarians in Argentina 1948-1968: the Formation of a Community Judith Kesserű Némethy, New York University Abstract
    Page 1 of 20 Némethy, Judith Kesserű. “Exiled Hungarians in Argentina 1948-1968: The Formation of a Community.” AHEA: E-journal of the American Hungarian Educators Association, Volume 5 (2012): http://ahea.net/e-journal/volume-5- 2012 Exiled Hungarians in Argentina 1948-1968: The Formation of a Community Judith Kesserű Némethy, New York University Abstract: This paper presents the cultural activism of a group of Hungarian émigrés who fled their homeland following Soviet occupation at the end of World War II and arrived in Argentina around 1948. It deals with the intellectual activity of these exiles, especially through their cultural and educational institutions. Within five years of their arrival as dispossessed “D.P.’s,” they founded a Hungarian Center (“Centro Húngaro”) that housed, among others, a theater group, a free university, a cultural and scientific academy, a weekend school, and scout troops. At the same time, new periodicals appeared, and a substantive number of books banned in Hungary were published. I argue that it is due to the work of these institutions that the community flourished and is vital to date, in spite of its isolation and lack of reinforcement through new emigrant waves, and in spite of its hostile relationship with the government of the People’s Republic of Hungary and of a series of Argentine economic crises that forced many of its members to re-emigrate. I also discuss the impact the exiles had on their descendants, contending that as a result of the strong cultural foundations laid by them during their first twenty years of emigration, third- and fourth-generation Hungarian-Argentines have maintained to this day a strong cultural and ethnic identity, while fully integrating into Argentine society at large.
