During the seventeenth century Hungary's diverse population of
peasants, townsmen, soldiers, and county nobles rose up against the
violent imposition of the Counter-Reformation, the Habsburg
military ...occupation, and exhorbitant war taxes. In The Habsburg
Empire under Siege Georg Michels explores the little-known
grassroots revolts that threatened the Habsburgs' hold over the
Hungarian borderlands. Based on extensive research in Hungarian,
Austrian, and Dutch archives, this revisionist study shifts
attention away from high politics, diplomacy, and military
confrontation to the popular revolts that took place during the two
decades before the 1683 siege of Vienna. Michels reveals a complex
environment in which Calvinist Hungarians, Lutheran Slovaks,
Lutheran Germans, and Orthodox Ukrainians worked to defend their
religion against brutal Habsburg Counter-Reformation campaigns.
Challenging preconceived notions of European, Middle Eastern, and
East European history, this book tells a dramatic story of
Reformation and Counter-Reformation violence, covering proxy wars,
guerrilla warfare, refugee flight, migration from Hungary into
Ottoman territory, and largely unknown Christian-Muslim encounters.
Offering a trans-imperial perspective that reassesses the complex
relationship between Hungarians, Habsburgs, and Ottomans, The
Habsburg Empire under Siege portrays the resistance of
ordinary men and women and their hopes for liberation from Habsburg
oppression, reclaiming their place in history.
Inventing the Needyoffers a powerful, innovative analysis of welfare policies and practices in Hungary from 1948 to the last decade of the twentieth century. Using a compelling mix of archival, ...interview, and ethnographic data, Lynne Haney shows that three distinct welfare regimes succeeded one another during that period and that they were based on divergent conceptions of need. The welfare society of 1948-1968 targeted social institutions, the maternalist welfare state of 1968-1985 targeted social groups, and the liberal welfare state of 1985-1996 targeted impoverished individuals. Because they reflected contrasting conceptions of gender and of state-recognized identities, these three regimes resulted in dramatically different lived experiences of welfare. Haney's approach bridges the gaps in scholarship that frequently separate past and present, ideology and reality, and state policies and local practices. A wealth of case histories gleaned from the archives of welfare institutions brings to life the interactions between caseworkers and clients and the ways they changed over time. In one of her most provocative findings, Haney argues that female clients' ability to use the state to protect themselves in everyday life diminished over the fifty-year period. As the welfare system moved away from linking entitlement to clients' social contributions and toward their material deprivation, the welfare system, and those associated with it, became increasingly stigmatized and pathologized. With its focus on shifting inventions of the needy, this broad historical ethnography brings new insights to the study of welfare state theory and politics.
Reflecting 25 years of archival research and presented here in English for the first time, Hungary between Two Empires 1526-1711 offers a fresh and thorough exploration of this key moment in ...Hungarian history and, in turn, the creation of a modern Europe.

Drawing from the ideas of critical geography and based on extensive archival research, Cole brilliantly reconstructs the formation of the Jewish ghetto during the Holocaust, focusing primarily on the ...ghetto in Budapest, Hungary--one of the largest created during the war, but rarely examined. Cole maps the city illustrating how spaces--cafes, theaters, bars, bathhouses--became divided in two. Throughout the book, Cole discusses how the creation of this Jewish ghetto, just like the others being built across occupied Europe, tells us a great deal about the nature of Nazism, what life was like under Nazi-occupation, and the role the ghetto actually played in the Final Solution.
Prispevek je nastal na podlagi analize kvantitativne raziskave z naslovom Stališča staršev v Porabju do slovenskega jezika oziroma dvo- in večjezičnosti ter tudi preteklih raziskav, strokovne ...literature in terenskih izkušenj. Študija prikazuje stališča porabskih Slovencev (staršev otrok, ki obiskujejo narodnostne vrtce) do slovenskega jezika (in drugih jezikov) in na drugi strani išče odgovore na vprašanje, zakaj je prišlo do prekinitve prenosa slovenske materinščine na anketirane – starše in posledično na najmlajše. Podatki kažejo, da si stališča in raba jezika v družini ter rezultati pri vprašanju, zakaj se vprašanim staršem zdi znanje slovenskega jezika pomembno za otroka, nasprotujejo. Med odgovori na vprašanje, zakaj se starši z otroki doma ne pogovarjajo porabsko/slovensko, izstopa mnenje, da starši in mladi ne znajo jezika in da ni medgeneracijskega prenosa. Pozitivna stališča staršev do slovenskega jezika so lahko dobra podlaga za revitalizacijo porabščine/slovenskega jezika v Porabju.
Another Hungary tells the stories of eight remarkable individuals: an aristocrat, merchant, engineer, teacher, journalist, rabbi, tobacconist, and writer. All eight came from the same woebegone ...corner of prewar Hungary. Their biographies illuminate how the region's residents made sense of economic underdevelopment, ethnic diversity, and relations between Christians and Jews. Taken together, their stories create a unique picture of the troubled history of Eastern Europe, viewed not from the capital cities, but from the small towns and villages.
Through these eight lives, Another Hungary investigates the wider processes that remade Eastern Europe in the nineteenth century. It asks: How did people make sense of the dramatic changes, from the advent of the railroad to the outbreak of the First World War? How did they respond to the army of political ideologies that marched through this region: liberalism, socialism, nationalism, antisemitism, and Zionism? To what extent did people in the provinces not just react to, but influence what was happening in the centers of political power? This collective biography confirms that nineteenth-century Hungary was no earthly paradise. But it also shows that the provinces produced men and women with bold ideas on how to change their world.
V Breviarium notatum Strigoniense (kompiliranim konec 13. stol. v Esztergomu) se pojavljata dve obliki climacusa: običajno je prvi ton znaka zapisan z dvojnim punctumom, mestoma pa se pojavlja tudi ...oblika, kjer je prvi ton znaka podan le z enim punctumom. Oba znaka nastopata bodisi samostojno bodisi kot sestavina širših sestavljenih znakov. Climacus z dvojnim punctumom nastopa zlasti na ključnih tonih modusov; na teh tonih se pojavlja tudi climacus z enojnim punctumom, vendar ne tako izrazito. Iz tega je mogoče sklepati, da je prvi ton climacusa z dvojnim punctumom podaljšan oz. na neki način poudarjen, in da je med obema oblikama znaka rahel pomenski razloček. Vendar se zdi, da pisec pri razločevanje dveh oblik znaka ni bil dosleden; znak z dvojnim punctumom je uporabljal tudi za zapis običajnega postopa treh ali več tonov v smeri navzdol.
