Wood","doi":"10.1177/00472441221146636b","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00472441221146636b","url":null,"abstract":"the transnational ‘culture of counterrevolution’ (pp. 13, 16) that coalesced in the wake of the revolutions, defence of the Christian nation appeared to justify both a forceful restoration of traditional gender and family roles and the merciless persecution of allegedly subversive aliens, particularly Jews. Ablovatski rightly stresses that the pernicious Judeo-Bolshevik myth emerged much strengthened from the Hungarian and Bavarian revolutions, although by explaining the myth’s appeal with reference to ‘racial’ thinking, she neglects the persistence of cultural anti-Semitism in central Europe at the time. While the political right dominated both Hungary and Bavaria in the interwar period, leftists nurtured their own communities of remembrance, celebrating martyred revolutionaries such as Eugen Leviné in Munich and challenging rightist interpretations of events in memoirs and the press. The author dwells mostly on similarities between the two contexts, although she is also sensitive to differences. For instance, law courts in Bavaria were more lenient than their Hungarian counterparts in trying those accused of revolutionary crimes. Although aging conservatives dominated the judiciary in both places, German judges evinced a greater willingness to accept young defendants’ ‘idealism’ as a mitigating factor. In Hungary, where an openly counterrevolutionary regime under Admiral Horthy was established following the Soviet republic’s collapse, courts handed down harsh sentences based often on dubious hearsay and denunciations. Ablovatski’s careful conclusions throughout this engaging study rest on meticulous research in court records, police reports, newspapers, and memoir literature. Nonetheless, in accounting for the desperation of the revolutionaries and the intemperance of their counterrevolutionary foes, greater emphasis ought to be laid on the impact of the world war. Fin-de-siècle anxieties about revolutionary plots or gender chaos sharpened after 1914 and again after the Bolshevik revolution of 1917. Moreover, the anti-urban discourses that counterrevolutionaries deployed as they reclaimed the ‘sinful’ metropolis, particularly in the Hungarian case as Ablovatski shows, had acquired potent new meaning during the war years as agrarian hinterlands felt victimized by a state provisioning regime designed to maintain urban consumption, particularly for industrial workers. For these reasons, the ‘existing stockpile of stereotypes and ‘myths’’ (p. 207) through which Hungarian and Bavarian publics grasped 1919 events were not identical to pre-war cultural structures. Too much had changed. Nor did the ubiquity of battle-hardened, scarcely demobilized troops have any real parallel in pre-1914 central Europe. These critical remarks should not detract from Ablovatski’s considerable achievement with Revolution and Political Violence in Central Europe, which surely ranks among the best recent comparative histories on twentieth-century central Europe.","PeriodicalId":43875,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN STUDIES","volume":"53 1","pages":"89 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47253590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These two works challenge the project of Europe as a bastion of liberal ideals and its various markers, including laïcité, universalism and human rights, through narratives informed by cultural pessimism and religious and racial dystopia. Fantasies of race, ethnicity and empire pervade the fictional Islamistan in Submission I as well as Houellebecq’s narrative exploring the conversion of French society to Islam. Whereas Submission: Part I has been hailed for addressing Muslim abuse and Houellebecq’s novel has been cited often as a trigger of Islamophobia, I argue that both works merit new interpretations when read in relation to historical fears of ethnic and religious Muslim Others in postcolonial presents: Submission: Part I as contributing to the Islamic problem it supposedly addressed, with Houellebecq offering a nuanced and sympathetic understanding of the Muslim ‘Other’ that acknowledges the significance of Arab/Muslim France to the French Republic.","PeriodicalId":43875,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN STUDIES","volume":"53 1","pages":"37 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47118823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis asks how such spaces are imbued with the multiplicity of border crossings, such as metaleptic intrusions of the heterodiegetic narrator, pluralization of perspectivism, the intermingling of the narrator’s and characters’ own spaces with the use of free indirect speech and the problematization of internal and external spaces. The narrator’s engagement with issues of diaspora, subjectivity, ethnicity, multiculturalism and roots/routes as well as their narrative manifestations are traced throughout the novel with recourse to ideas of ‘post-postcolonialism’, a concept that corresponds to the everydayness and ordinariness of migrant experience. Consequently, space proves to be a constitutive element of both the novel’s narrative and the characters’ subjectivities.","PeriodicalId":43875,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN STUDIES","volume":"53 1","pages":"23 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42071319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historical events, such as World War II, the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, as well as the ramifications of globalization, are taken into consideration, as are the implications of Brexit for the role English maintains as Europe’s primary universal language. Declines in French, German and Russian as the first additional language are observed. Comparisons are made of the resources required for a language to challenge English as Europe’s primary lingua franca. It is found that the patterns which emerge over time, with few exceptions, result in the increased importance of English in all of the Member States of the European Union. Moreover, the rise of L2 English in the European Union has caused mainland Europeans to be more likely to become bilingual rather than plurilingual, something contrary to European Union policy.","PeriodicalId":43875,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN STUDIES","volume":"53 1","pages":"53 - 69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43755144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This Special Issue critically reviews some of the contemporary instrumentalizations of European heritage as processes of borderwork by which various political and non-political actors demarcate the boundaries of Europe and European identity. Specifically, the nine contributions shed light on some of the top-down and bottom-up uses of European heritage and explore whether the borderwork of European heritage delineates and separates Europeanness as an exclusive and singular identity, or whether it constitutes a space of exchange, flow and entanglement where Europeanness is defined as inclusive and pluralistic. Characterized by interdisciplinarity, methodological variety and a conception of Europe broader than the European Union, this Special Issue aims to broaden the scope of scholarship in European studies and (critical) heritage studies.","PeriodicalId":43875,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN STUDIES","volume":"52 1","pages":"163 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46628254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By employing a more extensive analysis of primary evidence than any prior interpretation, The Wound That Will Never Heal is the first interpretation to propose and sustain a global and conceptually coherent account of the entire Ring....
