Although the country's current political trajectory has<br>already invited a great deal of commentary from within as well as beyond<br>its borders, further critical analysis is still required. At the same<br>time, Hungary's social and cultural present also deserves further<br>scrutiny by the international scholarly community.<br><br>Since the 2010 election victory of Viktor Orbán's nationalist Fidesz<br>party, Hungary has undergone radical and sweeping changes to its<br>political and economic order, provoking debates on the limits of<br>democracy and the rule of law within the European Union. Furthermore,<br>due to an increased role for the far right within mainstream government<br>and shifts in spheres of interest in both domestic and international<br>politics, Hungary has emerged as an important case study for reflections<br>on post-socialist states in the 21st century. Therefore, increased<br>scholarly attention is essential for understanding Hungary's current<br>social, political and cultural landscape. The broad themes of<br>post-socialism, nation and identity, and contemporary Hungary's place in<br>the wider European political and socio-economic context are of<br>particular importance.<br><br>This need for a renewed discussion on Hungary that compliments or<br>critically reflects on existing discourses forms the basis of this<br>postgraduate conference. The term 'Hungarian Studies' can encompass a<br>range of multidisciplinary perspectives and contemporary critical<br>frameworks through which Hungary can be examined. Therefore, submissions<br>to the 2015 Contemporary Hungarian Studies Postgraduate Conference are<br>invited from a wide variety of academic disciplines.<br><br>We welcome papers on the following topics, among others:<br><br>Europeanisation, integration, and public policy<br>Post-socialism and Neoliberalism<br>Nationalism, identities, Minority Studies (e.g. Roma Studies)<br>Gender, sexualities, and Queer<br>Language change, translation, literature and literary criticism<br>Human geographies<br>Cultural (re)construction and management<br>Ethnography and Folkloristics<br><br>Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words and accompanied by a short<br>biographical note and details of institutional affiliation. Submissions<br>and queries should be sent to <a href="mailto:hungarianstudiesconference@gmail.com">hungarianstudiesconference@gmail.com</a>.<br><br>The deadline for submissions is 14 November 2014.<br>For more information, click<br><a href="http://hungarianstudies.wordpress.com/call-for-papers/">http://hungarianstudies.wordpress.com/call-for-papers/</a><br><br><br></div></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
