Abstract (may include machine translation)
Using two case studies under the Christian-conservative Orbán government, this essay explores how ‘future memories’ are being constructed and sustained by revisionist history writing about the history of communism, especially in instrumentalist memories using pedagogical instruments: the secondary literature curriculum and the Museum of Trianon. It argues that canonization revised by counter canonization is necessarily opening space for revisionism.
