Try like a girl
Five years ago, Malala Yousafzai was listed among the most influential teenagers in the world. Her position is now contested by climate activist Greta Thunberg. Thankfully, they don’t compete with each other for fame. They do, however, challenge assumptions about what can and cannot be done in politics. Especially by girls. Eurozine editorial.

Post-truth panic: the news that never was
Media professionals often engage in a collective hysteria. They complain about their loss of authority, signalling a deep unwillingness to take responsibility for our trade’s failures and, often, complicity. And yet, the ‘post-truth era’ is not a death toll of journalism, but the signal of a necessary change. Eurozine editorial.

No average country
Although on the rise, popular engagement with EU politics is still a poor reflection on European democracy. International coverage maintains a narrow focus, despite important and uneven developments in national politics throughout the Union. Eurozine’s series on the EP elections addresses this deficit. Eurozine editorial.

Comrades in compote
‘The Russians are in the pantry already!’ The Hungarian adage is from a 1960s classic comedy The corporal and the others in which a bunch of deserters team up to try and survive the chaotic final weeks of World War II. The tricksters keep adapting their stories and uniforms to match the ever-changing and ever so nonsensical demands of […]

Turns out the hippies were right
Central and eastern Europe is boiling right now. Not metaphorically: the asphalt is around 45°C after sunset, and at nights the temperature in urban areas doesn’t drop enough for buildings to cool down. We’re trying hard keep cool heads at Eurozine’s Vienna office, but the heat is scorching. Only a determined denier could fail to […]

A legacy dispute
A clash of the titans is emerging in Eurozine, as the anniversary discourse starts to recount the cultural heritage and the political failures of 1989. Aleida Assmann heavily criticizes Stephen Holmes and Ivan Krastev; Holly Case and Ulrike Liebert offer resolutions. Eurozine editorial.

Divided we stand
Regional differences seem to be the common denominator between the players of Project Europe. In an attempt to understand how the European vote is formed, we put some of the underlying issues on the map. Eurozine editorial.

In the giving vein
‘A battle of generosity’ has broken out after the fire at Notre Dame of Paris on Monday. The whole world watched horrified as the symbol of France and the Catholic Church burned, the devastation narrated live in the style of a disaster movie. Self-appointed champions are now rushing to take lead roles: that of the […]

Why I don’t want to remember 1989
Born in the ’80s in eastern Europe, I grew up among unkept promises which everybody refused to be accountable for. We were told we were going to be free. ‘It’s a free country!’ was a catch phrase in my pre-school, when fighting over toys. The Pet Shop Boys were played on the radio all the […]

Eurozine-hez igazol PRK
A professzorasszony a császárvárosban folytatja: Sokan írtatok, hogy mostanában mintha el lennék tűnve, keveset látszom tévében, alig vannak előadások. Nos, ennek számos oka van; például egyre-másra szántják be a felületeket, ahol a magamfajták megfordulhatnak. De igazság szerint kevés értelmét látom a napi szintű politikai kommnetárnak; sosem szerettem, nem is tartom hasznosnak ezt a kekszdarálást, amikor […]

„Seit Orbán an der Macht ist, sehen wir mehr Empörung“ Judith Langowski über Feminismus in Ungarn für Missy Magazine
„Die feministische Bewegung in Ungarn wird nicht aus dem entstehen, was vor uns war“, sagt Papp. Die Generation nach der ihren sei gefragt. Sie müssten sich selbst erarbeiten, wofür Feminismus in Ungarn steht. Doch der Erfolg einer künftigen feministischen Bewegung – online oder offline – hängt vor allem davon ab, wie viel Raum Feminist*innen in […]
