- Abstract:
- ABSTRACT: This article argues that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has established a monarch-like celebrity status and exploited it to systematically dismantle the checks and balances of democratic polity. Drawing on nationalist mythology, local traditions of personality cult, and media techniques to personalise the politics, Orbán has fashioned himself as Hungary's crownless king. In the absence of effective political contestation, a significant pocket of resistance has been politicised art and popular culture: a culture that this article maps out and interrogates.
