Intellectuals and the Crisis of Politics in the Interwar Period and Beyond: A Transnational History
Balázs Trencsényi — Professor, Department of Historical Studies, CEU, Director of the CEU Institute for Advanced Studies Budapest
A debate organised on the occasion of the publication of Intellectuals and the Crisis of Politics in the Interwar Period and Beyond. A transnational history (Oxford University Press, 2025) by the ERC ‘Memory and Populism from Below’ (MEMPOP) #101076092 with the participation of CEFRES (MEAE / CNRS).
When: March 11, 2025 at 15:00
Where: CEFRES Library, Na Florenci 3, Prague 1 and online (to get the link, please mail us to cefres@cefres.cz)
Language: English
Intellectuals and the Crisis of Politics in the Interwar Period and Beyond maps the range of meanings the term ‘crisis’ has borne and the roles it has performed across disciplines and countries, de-centering the dominant narrative that takes Western European positions and developments as normative.
It especially focuses on the historical roots of two key contemporary contesters of liberal democracy: neoliberalism and populism and presents an innovative analysis of the roots of contemporary illiberalism in Europe. Bringing these ideas into the present day, Balázs Trencsényi offers ideas on how a reflective and self-critical liberal democratic political position could be defined and defended in our current predicament, which is increasingly compared to the interwar period and is often described as a “polycrisis”.
