Up the Danube.--The Steamboats and their Accommodation.--Baziasch to Belgrad and Semlin.--Semlin to Mohacs. Or all the rivers of Europe the Danube is the most remarkable, the most important, the most interesting, and the most picturesque. It receives the largest number of tributaries, many of which are little inferior to firstclass rivers. It runs through the broadest plains, and between the loftiest cliffs; it has in some parts the greatest depth, and in others the most troublesome shoals and rocks, and the most serious natural interruptions of any; it is fed by streams proceeding from two of the loftiest of the European mountain chains. Taking its rise more than a thousand miles from the point of its embouchure in the Black Sea, it drains an area of more than half a million of square miles of country, far exceeding, in the length of its course, the number and importance of its tributaries, and the area it drains, any of the rivers of Europe, and even excelling in all these respects that great Asiatic river, the Ganges. With its source less than 3000 feet above the sea, and a length of course more than twice as great as that of the Rhine, it yet pours over the plains a body of water more unmanageable than that of the THE DANUBE. 161 Rhine, whose source lies at an elevation nearly three times as great, and whose waters have so much shorter a distance to travel. Combining so many points of geographical interest, the Danube is no less remarkable in its historical recollections, whether we regard ancient history before the Romans were able to penetrate north of the Alps, or the later period of Roman occupation, or the Mediaeval period, when the Crescent and the Cross were struggling for victory in the lands on its banks. There is...
Download or read book Everyday Nationalism in Hungary written by Alexander Maxwell and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Hungarian nationalism through everyday practices that will strike most readers as things that seem an unlikely venue for national politics. Separate chapters examine nationalized tobacco, nationalized wine, nationalized moustaches, nationalized sexuality, and nationalized clothing. These practices had other economic, social or gendered meanings: moustaches were associated with manliness, wine with aristocracy, and so forth. The nationalization of everyday practices thus sheds light on how patriots imagined the nation’s economic, social, and gender composition. Nineteenth-century Hungary thus serves as the case study in the politics of "everyday nationalism." The book discusses several prominent names in Hungarian history, but in unfamiliar contexts. The book also engages with theoretical debates on nationalism, discussing several key theorists. Various chapters specifically examine how historical actors imagine relationship between the nation and the state, paying particular attention Rogers Brubaker’s constructivist approach to nationalism without groups, Michael Billig’s notion of ‘banal nationalism,’ Carole Pateman’s ideas about the nation as a ‘national brotherhood’, and Tara Zahra’s notion of ‘national indifference.’

Download or read book Pan Nationalism as a Category in Theory and Practice written by Alexander Maxwell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-22 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is pan-nationalism different from other forms of nationalism? This book explores the diversity of pan-nationalism in both theory and practice. Drawing on Rogers Brubaker, the book introduces "pan-nationalism" as a category of practice. It shows that pan-nationalism implied transcending political frontiers, intermittently possessed a pejorative subtext, and differed from unmodified “nationalism” partly due to a retroactively applied success/failure criterion. Pan-nationalists always look across political frontiers, but do not always want a single pan-national state. The book explores the diversity of pan-nationalism through case studies and a selection of pan-national movements such as: Habsburg pan-Slavism from both the Slavic and Hungarian perspective, pan-Saxonism in Europe and North America, pan-Ethiopianism and pan-Somalism in the horn of Africa, and pan-Hinduism online. The book will be of interest to students and researchers of politics including comparative politics, various forms of nationalism and history. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Nationalism and Ethnic Politics.

Download or read book The Politics of Early Language Teaching written by Ágoston Berecz and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-10 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disseminating knowledge of the state language to the non-Magyar half of the citizenry was a policy priority of the government of the Hungarian Kingdom between the 1870s and the First World War. Drawing on a wide array of sources, The Politics of Early Language Teaching provides an in-depth look at how Hungarian was taught to ethnic Romanian and German children in the south-eastern tracts of the Habsburg Empire. The monograph covers the ever-harshening legislation from the period, reconsidering the role of state supervision and exploring the contemporary methodological debates as well as taking a closer look at classroom practices. Not only does the book throw much light in comparative mode on one of Europe s great early experiments in linguistic engineering; but it provides many new insights into Dualist Hungary s competing national ideologies and the limits of their efficacy on the ground.
Download or read book The Monumental Nation written by Bálint Varga and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1860s onward, Habsburg Hungary attempted a massive project of cultural assimilation to impose a unified national identity on its diverse populations. In one of the more quixotic episodes in this “Magyarization,” large monuments were erected near small towns commemorating the medieval conquest of the Carpathian Basin—supposedly, the moment when the Hungarian nation was born. This exactingly researched study recounts the troubled history of this plan, which—far from cultivating national pride—provoked resistance and even hostility among provincial Hungarians. Author Bálint Varga thus reframes the narrative of nineteenth-century nationalism, demonstrating the complex relationship between local and national memories.
