Extrém by sa nemal stať mainstreamom len preto, že hlásame slobodu slova, píše historička Hana Kubátová. „Všetko je teraz cenzúra. Skúste niečo povedať – a okamžite príde odozva, že kádrujete a pranierujete.“

Historička Hana Kubátová bude v Trenčíne diskutovať o svojej knihe Kde líšky dávajú dobrú noc, ktorá vyšla v edícii Denníka N. Podujatie bude 17. septembra o 18.00 h, moderuje ho reportér Dušan Mikušovič. https://dennikn.sk/minuta/4837520/

The Slovak expression “where the foxes say good night” refers to remote rural places far from cities. Kubátová highlights the importance of peripheries in the regime. See also her lecture on how different layers of society contributed to the system. 📹 youtu.be/DpjOponw1p0 📸 Photo credits below

Historian Hana Kubátová @hanakubatova.bsky.social reveals in her new book ‘Christian Nationalism, Nation-Building, and the Making of the Holocaust in Slovakia’ (OUP) how the state targeted minorities to build a Slovak Christian nationalist state. Also published in Slovak. 📖 doi.org/10.1093/9780...

Toto je text, ktorý som pred odoslaním nechala prečítať viacerým priateľom. Jednému z nich som povedala: „Toto sa asi nebude nikomu páčiť. Pre niektorých budem príliš mäkká, pre iných zas príliš tvrdá.“ Odpovedal mi niečo v zmysle: „Sme už dosť starí na to, aby sme veci robili kvôli pochvale.“

Too good not to share

A short article of mine on civil-military relations and democratic backsliding had been accepted for publication in the journal "Connections". Then I received an email that the editors can't publish the paper unless I "remove the case study/examples of the United States" (1/x) #CivMilSky

The fact that the government is using charges of antisemitism to justify sending people to concentration camps is the most enraging manipulation of discourse that the current fascists have engaged in thus far. They’ll live out their Nazi fantasies all while claiming they are doing it for the Jews.

There they are—author copies in both English and Slovak.

Oxford has now made my introductory chapter freely available. The hope is that once you start reading, you'll want to recommend the book to your library. Would you consider doing that? It is the only way OUP might release a more affordable paperback edition.

Poprad ♥️

Atsushi Tago and me asked Czech and Japanese respondents how they viewed military - but also non-military support - to victims of invasion in Europe and Asia. Curious about the results? See now out in @conflictmanagement.bsky.social in #OpenAccess journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Zajtra Košice, ale v sobotu Poprad. Príďte – do najstaršieho kníhkupectva pod Tatrami, kde majú 38-tisíc kníh na sklade… a medzi nimi aj tú moju. Vidíme sa v sobotu o 11:00, teším sa!

Moja kniha začína aj končí na východe – a práve tam sa s ňou (a so mnou) môžete stretnúť ako prví. Príďte tento piatok o 18:00 do košického Artfora. Teším sa na vás!

Existuje!

Už čoskoro vo vašich kníhkupectvách.

Look, I am just a small town scholar of mass murder, so let me ask a simple, naive question: And then what?

⚡️Slovak opposition leader arrives in Kyiv to 'reopen door Fico slammed.' A Slovak delegation headed by pro-Western opposition leader Michal Simecka of Progressive Slovakia party arrived in Kyiv on Jan. 17, he said on social media.

My book is heading to the printer later this week—so now, heartfelt thanks to all of you who have become my own village.

My free workshop on January 8th is for scholars hoping to publish their first book *and* for experienced authors who want to take more control over the publishing process this time around. I'll be covering what scholars need to know (but are rarely taught) before approaching publishers

Korektúry odovzdané. Ešte jedno kolo a táto kniha už nie je len moja. Tridsať “author queries.” Tisíc poznámok. Popísať 24 fotiek. Tri mapy. 18 stránkový register. Neviem, ako túto fázu môže mať nejaký autor rád. Nechcem už napísať žiadnu ďalšiu knihu. Nikdy!

I've spent years reading opinion pieces in top papers, listening to interviews on prime networks and being exposed to very serious pontificating by people who know shit about Russia, Ukraine, Israel or Palestine. Thus, I am fully available to comment, write or speak on Syria, on which I know nothing

I am looking for a highly motivated graduate student looking to write his/her PhD on antisemitism. The deadline is tight, but the funding is generous, and they will get to work with me and some of my best colleagues. Hopefully this will be a recurring position! ips.fsv.cuni.cz/en/news/call...

Happy Thanksgiving! Let me use a quiet moment for an introduction thread. I am a Holocaust historian who works on Jewish history of the Shoah. I work on prisoner society, sexuality in the Holocaust, narrativity, and history of Communism in Central Europe. I also hike, cook, ferment, and opine.

Does anybody know? How do rabbis do it that they disappear?

The resolution to boycott Haaretz which passed in today's gov meeting without legal review is another step in Netanyahu's journey to dismantle democracy. Like his friends Putin, Erdoğan & Orbán, Netanyahu is trying to silence critical, independent media. Haaretz will not balk

Ak má demokracia prežiť, nestačí len pomenovať hrozby či varovať pred tým, čo môže prísť. Toto je skutočná podstata zápasu o slobodu a demokraciu: demokrati musia ponúknuť odpovede, ktoré budú presvedčivejšie než lacná nostalgia a hnev autokratov. dennikn.sk/4312324/hroz...

Hi everyone! Let’s finally meet for real: I’m Hana. I write and read about fascists, worry about what’s to come, so I distract myself by getting my hair done and sipping Negronis.
