The book is a comparative analysis of the ideological constructions
of national specificity in Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary. Studying
the growing infatuation with "national essence" it seeks to
understand the radicalization of nationalism in East Central Europe
in connection with the shift of the notions of historicity and
temporality. Trencsenyi provides a contextual analysis of the
symbolic resources and available ideological references that were
used for creating these discourses in the respective countries.
While focusing on the interwar period when these conceptions became
central to the political debate, he also reconstructs the long-term
historical evolution of the discourse of 'national characterology'.
Through this prism the work offers a contextual reconstruction of
the main debates of these elites on national identity from the
mid-19th century until 1945. In the light of the three case
studies, the volume contributes to discussions of the problem of
modernism and anti-modernism in twentieth-century political
thought, posing the question of the intellectual responsibility of
intellectuals in constructing radical ideological frameworks. This
book offers a broad intellectual panorama, discerning the common
regional features as well as the considerable divergence between
these three cases, while also placing them into a wider European
intellectual framework of the emergence of radical nationalism.
