Abstract

"We have to abandon liberal methods and principles of organizing a society. The new state that we are building is an illiberal state, a non-liberal state", Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban famously said in 2014, exemplifying a broader trend taking place in Central Europe. Why would the countries that were praised as democratization and Europeanization success stories take an illiberal turn? This volume explores changing values and attitudes to explain events that took place in the aftermath of the financial and migration crisis in six Central European countries: Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia.

Abstract

This new volume addresses the lasting contribution made by Central European émigré designers to twentieth-century American design and architecture. The contributors examine how oppositional stances in debates concerning consumption and modernism's social agendas taken by designers such as Felix Augenfeld, Joseph Binder, Josef Frank, Paul T. Frankl, Frederick Kiesler, Richard Neutra, and R.M. Schindler in Europe prefigured their later adoption or rejection by American culture. They argue that émigrés and refugees from fascist Europe such as György Kepes, Paul László, Victor Papanek, Bernard Rudofsky, Xanti Schawinsky, and Eva Zeisel drew on the particular experiences of their home countries, and networks of émigré and exiled designers in the United States, to develop a humanist, progressive, and socially inclusive design culture which continues to influence design practice today.

Abstract

El tema central de este libro es la presencia del centro y del este de Europa en América Latina, un campo poco estudiado. A lo largo de más de los cien años que abarcan los artículos, entre el siglo XIX y las primeras décadas del XX, hubo súbditos del Imperio Habsburgo y posteriormente de la Monarquía Dual austrohúngara, que visitaron, vivieron o inclusive se establecieron definitivamente en América Latina.
