20.500.12556/DiRROS-23064 Building a bilingual elite “national indifference” and Romanian students in Hungarian high schools (1867–1914) This article highlights the role investment in Hungarian-language skills played in the social reproduction of the Romanian national elite in Dualist Hungary. At any point during the era, little less than half of middleclass Romanian students attended Hungarian-language high schools, which their parents largely considered as language training institutions. Parental choices and the sons’ experiences gain significance when set against the view that such investment in linguistic capital was a subversive practice challenging nationalist mobilization. Based on former students’ memoirs, school yearbooks, and histories, this article concentrates on the strategies of parents, the class-based inequality of access to Hungarian, the language policies of schools, and teachers’ ambiguous treatment of Romanian students. secondary education national indifference Dualist Hungary Romanian history multilingualism individual bilingualism srednješolsko izobraževanje nacionalna brezbrižnost večjezičnost dvojezičnost Madžarska zgodovina true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Delo ni kategorizirano 2025-07-21 13:56:40 2025-07-21 14:10:14 2025-10-24 03:53:03 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 str. 159-176 Vol. 54 2023 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2023-05-01 94(4) 0067-2378 10.1017/S0067237823000036 213193987 Building_a_bilingual_elite-Berecz.pdf Building_a_bilingual_elite-Berecz.pdf 1 4E683DEB8369D7415A50020D8EC3F03B a7bbfcc2e497ba1b45a8918aafbbc3eb36e0ab7937d11a7b6eb7674443c46842 c860d9c3-6629-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33809 https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/austrian-history-yearbook/article/abs/building-a-bilingual-elite-national-indifference-and-romanian-students-in-hungarian-high-schools-18671914/C2FA3BDB68294E595787BC320CD2A59A 1 c3b62bf4-6629-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33808 Inštitut za novejšo zgodovino 0 0 0
