oh, that thing! thanksgiving! that's right, i forgot all about it.
i'm a lousy bar-hopper, worry not. usually it just means one hop and then another hop home...
Oops, yes, before I forget it: good luck! (And remember: Murphy's law is illegal at the IWM :wink: )
sorry walter, i haven't seen your 'good luck' wish, because i'm long gone from a2k and busy at work...

It turns out the last train back to Budapest already leaves at 8 PM...
Good luck tomorrow!!!
oh, you're returning the same day? tough. well, let me send you my cell number, and you call me if you feel like grabbing a bite before you leave or something. I should be home by 5pm, take an hour or so to pack, at 6-ish I could make it somewhere if you're hungry and have time...
Yes, returning the same day ... and thanks Walter, but I dont think "night trains" that have one stuck in Gyor, Bratislava or Bruck a/d Leithe from 12 to 4, or 1 to 5, are much of an alternative ... ;-)
OK Dag, lessee if we can make it to meet at 6/7, I'll text ya if so! And break a leg!
I wish i was brave enough to break a leg. i wouldn't have to present then, would i? ok, perhaps that's dumb enough to be ever an option.
getting tired.... must scramble enough resolve for a few more hours. grrrrrrr...
we'll play it by ear, nimh.
you know, not that anybody asked, but these states of panic sometime bring catharsic (?) relief. As I leaf violently through the drafts of chapters I have done I realize there is some great stuff in there. Sure i need to add stuff, reshuffle, nix some, and all that... but it's not looking that catastrophical anymore. perhaps i won't be boo-ed off the stage and thrown rotten tomatoes at. if i never post again, then this possibility - of a decent enough presentation - failed to materialize.
hehhehheh ...
you'll do fine, dag ;-)

Während Historiker nach einem Maximum an Objektivität streben, ist die Erinnerung der Menschen nicht unbedingt rational zu fassen. Als Teil der eigenen Identität kommen hier vielmehr die Emotionen ins Spiel. Gerade Politiker machen sich dieses Werkzeug in Konflikten gerne zunutze, meint die
Politologin Dagmar Kusa. Sie berichtet am Wiener Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen (IWM) morgen über historische Erinnerung und historische "Amnesie" in der Politik Mitteleuropas.

...Informationen zur Autorin
Dagmar Kusa studiert Politikwissenschaft an der Boston University und arbeitet gegenwärtig an ihrer Dissertation, die untersucht, wie die historische Erinnerung in der Politik instrumentalisiert wird - insbesondere im Rahmen von ethnischen Spannungen und Konflikten.

Waaaaah, I can't understand a word of it!
But congratulations dag, looks like you're famous!
Can I have your autograph, please?

ooooof. i got praised on that german article today. worry not olga, i don't know what it says either...
While historians strive for a maximum at objectivity, the memory of humans is not to be seized necessarily rationally. As part of the own identity here rather the emotions come into the play. Straight politicians take advantage of this tools in conflicts gladly, mean the Politologin Dagmar ..... Tomorrow it reports at the Viennese Institut for the sciences of humans (IWM) on historical memory and historical "Amnesie" in the policy of Central Europe.
And:
Informationen to the authoress Dagmar .... studies political science to the Boston University and works at present on its thesis, which examines, like the historical memory in the policy is instrumentalisiert - in particular in the context of ethnical tensions and conflicts. She spends at present as a junior Visting Fellow one term at the IWM in Vienna.....
