Welcome to the homepage of Böröcz József [established in 1996; last revised on 14 November 2007]

My (more-or-less recent, abridged) CV.

Here is a set (20, to be precise) of my photographs from Budapest.

I have placed much of my recent work on the web. This includes an e-book, numerous papers in English, Magyar and Belorusian, interviews in Hungarian and Danish dailies, the transcript of a 45-minute television interview in Magyar, plus some commentaries in English, Magyar and Albanian. To read them, click on this paragraph.

Here is the program of the international conference on the "Uneventment of History: The Case of Yugoslavia" that took place in Ljubljana (Slovenia) on 19-21 October, 2007, where I gave the opening workshop on intimate internationalism and a presentation on the politics of history.

My books are available for online purchase (or, as with the e-book, for free download) as follows:

(co-edited with Melinda Kovács): Empire's New Clothes: Unveiling EU-Enlargement E-book published by the online journal Central Europe Review, Holly Cottage, UK: 2001.

Leisure Migration: A Sociological Study on Tourism Oxford, UK: Elsevier Science, 1996

(co-edited with David A. Smith): A New World Order: Global Transformations in the Late Twentieth Century Westport, CT, USA: Greenwood Press, 1995
