Does the Residential Renewal Stand the Test of Residual Public Housing? Urban Policies and Social Dynamics in a Peripheral Budapest District

Research Area 3: Objects, Traces, Mapping: Everyday Experience of Spaces

Contact: lepeltier-kutasi@cefres.cz

Photo_Ludovic Lepeltier-KutasiMy research project focuses on the social and spatial issues of residual public housing in Hungary. This particular category of housing, inherited from the massive nationalization of joint ownership housing at the end of the 1940s, is managed directly or indirectly by local government. This type of housing has been spared by the massive waves of privatization in the 1990s, generally because of proven “discomfort”. The concentration of this type of housing in the margins of provincial towns or in the peri-central neighbors of Budapest emerged at the end of the 1990s as a public problem related to “degraded municipal housing”. In order to stop the “vicious circle of ghettoization”, district government in Budapest launched around 2000 several programs of urban rehabilitation. The most iconic of them, the “Magdolna program” in the eighth district, touches upon several issues concerning control of residential dynamics in a context of urban transformation. Grounded in an ethnographic approach, the aim of this work is to provide a sharp analysis of the articulation between these regulation policies and subtle mechanics of social exclusion.

Calls for Papers, International Conference, Other Activities

CFP: New Approaches to the History of the Jews under Communism

European Association of Jewish Studies Conference, Prague

Deadline for abstracts: End of October 2016
Decision notification due: End of November 2016
Date & Place: Villa Lanna, Prague, from 23 to 25 May 2017
Language: English
Organizers: Kateřina Čapková (Institute of Contemporary History, Czech Academy of Sciences), Kamil Kijek (Department of Jewish Studies, University of Wrocław), Stephan Stach (Institute of Contemporary History, Czech Academy of Sciences)

The experience of the Jews under the Communist régimes of east-central and eastern Europe has been a hotly debated topic of historiography since the 1950s. Until the 1980s, Cold War propaganda exerted a powerful influence on most interpretations presented in articles and books published on both sides of the ‘Iron Curtain’. Moreover, most works focused both on the relationship between the régime and the Jews living under it and on the role of the Jews in the Communist/Socialist movements and the political events connected with the rise of antisemitism and emigration.
