“…It can also use the involvement of state‐owned Russian companies and banks to symbolize the “anti‐Brussels” nationalism of the Hungarian government to some extent. Given the disengaged acceptance and the wider public's ignorance of the issue, the government has continued to pursue its nuclear agenda with a “business as usual” approach by keeping a de facto low profile in the media and holding it within the elitist political array (Wagner, Grobelskia, & Harembski, ).…”

This research article analyzes the influence of the “Chernobyl factor” on the nuclear power discourse in Hungary. Despite its temporal distance, the geographical proximity of the Chernobyl disaster has significantly influenced the lives and perceptions of current Hungarian generations. The research examines two layers of public communication regarding the Chernobyl disaster—political discourse and Hungarian online news media—and matches these with the online representation of the catastrophe. This study finds that despite Chernobyl's significant impact on the cultural memory of Hungarian society, it is considered an event of the past with limited relevance for the future. The contemporary representation of Chernobyl reflects the aspirations and expectations of current society, manifests highly mediatized content, nurtures elements of infotainment, symbolizes danger and negligence, and socially reconstructs meaning through alienation from its original connotation. The Chernobyl factor does not appear significantly in current nuclear discourse in Hungary.

“…Rather, there are different context-specific truths [21], making it impossible to base policy decisions solely on scientific knowledge [22,23]. For sustainability policies to be accepted and effective, they have to be in line with the knowledge, concerns, and values of the different stakeholders and with their perception and assessment of the outcomes of these policies (e.g., References [2,3,11,22,24,25]). Hence, sustainable consumption has to be societally negotiated both in terms of its exact definition and in terms of the policies leading to its achievement (e.g., References [26,27]).…”

“These Grandmas Drove Me Mad. It Was Brilliant!”—Promising Starting Points to Support Citizen Competence for Sustainable Consumption in Adults

et al. 2019

The article addresses citizen competence for sustainable consumption in adults. It discusses whether it is possible to develop educational offerings for adults (being by nature short and isolated) that effectively promote this competence and whether it makes a difference if sustainable consumption is approached by focusing on good life (quality of life) and justice or by focusing on natural resources and environment (as is suggested by, e.g., environmental literacy approaches). Taking the case of energy policy, it presents an educational intervention (EdIn) developed, implemented, and investigated by the authors. In data-analysis, three approaches were adopted (methodological triangulation), one analysing the deliberations’ cognitive structure, one analysing the participants’ perception, one analysing the participants’ reaction (in terms of the knowledge/concepts and values/concerns they voiced). The results show, firstly, that the didactical design of EdIn was successful with a view to supporting citizen competence in participants. Secondly, they show that in adult civic education sustainable consumption should be approached by focusing on good life and justice. Thirdly, they indicate that people do not necessarily perceive themselves to be part of societal decision-making, leading from the question of the design and content of civic educational activities to the question of their necessity.
