Annotation
The research aims to examine changes in the image of "Hungarians"/"Magyars" and related social categories (nation, nationality, race, patria, patriotism, etc.) in the Slovak nationalist discourse during the Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy. The study will focus on the textual output of both activists and supporters of the Slovak national movement, as well as the so-called Hungarophile Slovak savants and political activists. The examination will primarily rely on qualitative text analysis, with authors and the corpus selected based on their status and influence within the movement and public life.
The training during the first two semesters will include an intensive study of theories of nationalism and nationalist political movements in the 19th century, along with theories of discourse and methods of critical discourse analysis.
Requirements: Knowledge of Slovak/Czech and English (min. B2) is required; knowledge of Hungarian and German is an advantage.
