The discourse of terrorism is one of the most powerful political discourses of our times. More often than not, its labels and assumptions – including the division of the world into sharp dichotomies of ‘free’ and ‘civilized’ states vs. ‘evil’ and ‘barbarian terrorists’–go unquestioned in related political speeches, media reports, and public deliberation. These unquestioned ...

At the turn of 2013-2014, the events taking place in the main square of Kyiv, on the Maidan, were not primarily recorded by Western and Hungarian intellectuals for their bloody nature, but for the greatness of the representation of European values. For those who followed the events meticulously even then, there was no question that ...

Drawing on the ideas of Laclau and Mouffe (1985) and Carpentier (2017), this paper shows how, on the one hand, discursive-material assemblages within the digital environment of interconnected information networks prevent the possibility of final discursive closures, while, on the other hand, they may weaken discourses, preventing them from serving as a mobilizing force for ...

Large-scale protests in Ukraine in the end of 2013 (known as Euromaidan) have
become a trigger for new comprehension of civic and political engagement of different social actors, its
prerequisites, dynamics and potential outcomes. Why some data of comparative research demonstrated

Although criticism of Enlightenment ideas has become widespread within academic circles, the basic Enlightenment narrative – an inexorable movement to a progressive condition – remains a dominant assumption within the discourses of modernization and democratization. This article analyzes how the ‘progressive’ imagination of Euromaidan protesters in Ukraine discursively produced the internal ‘other’ as a singular ...

The latter appears ...
