| Title | Competing Nationalist Discourses: The Reception of Oszkar Jaszi's National Politics during the Twentieth Century |
| Summary | Hungarian intellectual life in the twentieth century – similarly to other contexts of the region – was strongly affected by the discourse of nationalism. Competing discursive efforts in order to dominate the field of politics, culture and historiography have different offers for identification. Oszkár Jászi, who was the leading figure of the so called civic radicals, who appeared in Hungarian intellectual life at the beginning of the twentieth century establishing their own scientific and political journal Huszadik Század (Twentieth century), offered a radically new comprehension of nation that was designed to replace the traditional national identities with a more liberal and social one. The answers to this offer differed extremely during the century from absolute rejection to identification with the “prophet” of new patriotism. This thesis intends to describe and understand the reactions by applying a discursive approach to nationalism. |
