CFP: Contemporary Hungarian Studies Postgraduate Conference:
Multidisciplinary European Perspectives
12-13 February 2015
University of Glasgow

Hungary is a dynamic political and cultural space that has been in constant
transformation since 1989, and where political developments since 2010 in
particular have attracted considerable international attention. Although
the country's current political trajectory has already invited a great deal
of commentary from within as well as beyond its borders, further critical
analysis is still required. At the same time, Hungary's social and cultural
present also deserves further scrutiny by the international scholarly
community.

Since the 2010 election victory of Viktor Orbán's nationalist Fidesz party,
Hungary has undergone radical and sweeping changes to its political and
economic order, provoking debates on the limits of democracy and the rule
of law within the European Union. Furthermore, due to an increased role for
the far right within mainstream government and shifts in spheres of
interest in both domestic and international politics, Hungary has emerged
as an important case study for reflections on post-socialist states in the
21st century. Therefore, increased scholarly attention is essential for
understanding Hungary's current social, political and cultural landscape.
The broad themes of post-socialism, nation and identity, and contemporary
Hungary's place in the wider European political and socio-economic context
are of particular importance.

This need for a renewed discussion on Hungary that compliments or
critically reflects on existing discourses forms the basis of this
postgraduate conference. The term 'Hungarian Studies' can encompass a range
of multidisciplinary perspectives and contemporary critical frameworks
through which Hungary can be examined. Therefore, submissions to the 2015
Contemporary Hungarian Studies Postgraduate Conference are invited from a
wide variety of academic disciplines.

We welcome papers on the following topics, among others:

    Europeanisation, integration, and public policy
    Post-socialism and Neoliberalism
    Nationalism, identities, Minority Studies (e.g. Roma Studies)
    Gender, sexualities, and Queer
    Language change, translation, literature and literary criticism
    Human geographies
    Cultural (re)construction and management
    Ethnography and Folkloristics

Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words and accompanied by a short
biographical note and details of institutional affiliation. Submissions and
queries should be sent to hungarianstudiesconference at gmail.com.

The deadline for submissions is 14 November 2014.
