Resumo: | The reconfiguration of Kossuth Square in Budapest began in 2011. The objective was to return the square to the way it looked in 1944, the year in which the preamble of the 2010 Constitution states that Hungary lost its sovereignty. To the detriment of its contemporaneity, authenticity, harmony, and heritage value, the square and its elements were reorganized individually and collectively to meet the political strategy of Viktor Orbán’s government. Our research investigates the transfer in 2014 of the symbolic grave of the victims of the 1956 massacre, constructed by Laszló Gömbos and Imre Makovesz in 1991, from the square to the memorial exhibition “In memoriam 1956. Október 25.”. The space was built by the Imre Steindl Program in the basement of the square. We use the definition of museum published by ICOM and the literature on memory studies and symbolic politics in post-democratization Hungary to analyze the process of change of the monument and question whether the museum was used as a place to preserve memory or one more space of territorial dominance and power. Our sources were the bibliographical review, visits to the square over the last decade, and the online search for keywords expanded into a “snowball” method. Based on a critical assessment and problematization of the new configuration of Kossuth Square resulting from the interventions by the Steindl Program, we intend to demonstrate how the promise to “better accommodate heritage and memory” can contribute to the control over the discourses of memories of the 1956 Revolution. |

O objetivo era devolver à Praça a imagem que tinha em 1944, ano em que o preâmbulo da Constituição de 2010 afirma que a Hungria perdeu a sua soberania. Em detrimento da sua contemporaneidade, autenticidade, harmonia e valor de patrimônio, a Praça e seus elementos foram reorganizados individual e coletivamente para atender à estratégia política do governo de Viktor Orbán. Nossa pesquisa investiga a transferência em 2014 do túmulo simbólico das vítimas do massacre de 1956, uma obra de Laszló Gömbos e Imre Makovesz de 1991, da Praça para a exibição-memorial “In memoriam 1956. Október 25.”, construído pelo Programa Imre Steindl no subsolo da Praça. Usamos como referência a definição de museu divulgada pelo ICOM e a literatura dos estudos da memória e da política simbólica húngara pós democratização para analisar o processo de mudança e problematizar se o museu foi utilizado como um lugar de preservação da memória ou um lugar de domínio territorial e poder. A revisão bibliográfica, as visitas à Praça na última década e a busca online por palavras-chave ampliada em método de “bola de neve” foram as nossas fontes de pesquisa. A partir de uma avaliação crítica e a problematização da nova configuração da Praça resultante das intervenções do Programa Steindl, pretendemos demonstrar como a promessa de “melhor acomodar o patrimônio e a memória” pode contribuir para o controle sobre os discursos das memórias da Revolução de 1956.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2023-09-18info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/681510.1590/SciELOPreprints.6815porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/6815/12880Copyright (c) 2023 Graziela Ares, Denise Grinspumhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAres, GrazielaGrinspum, Denisereponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)instacron:SCI2023-09-12T18:54:56Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/6815Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2023-09-12T18:54:56SciELO Preprints - Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)false |

The reconfiguration of Kossuth Square in Budapest began in 2011. The objective was to return the square to the way it looked in 1944, the year in which the preamble of the 2010 Constitution states that Hungary lost its sovereignty. To the detriment of its contemporaneity, authenticity, harmony, and heritage value, the square and its elements were reorganized individually and collectively to meet the political strategy of Viktor Orbán’s government. Our research investigates the transfer in 2014 of the symbolic grave of the victims of the 1956 massacre, constructed by Laszló Gömbos and Imre Makovesz in 1991, from the square to the memorial exhibition “In memoriam 1956.

We use the definition of museum published by ICOM and the literature on memory studies and symbolic politics in post-democratization Hungary to analyze the process of change of the monument and question whether the museum was used as a place to preserve memory or one more space of territorial dominance and power.
