匈牙利女性主义地理学的历史与性别、地点和文化25年的历史相吻合。当局否认国家社会主义时代存在性别不平等，这是性别研究传播的主要障碍。1989年后发生的政治变革消除了大多数障碍，但女性主义地理学的出现相对于其他学科来说要晚一些。它的头二十年的特点是斗争和妥协的内部和反对地理学科，以赢得承认。然而，女权主义研究长达25年的历史被本届政府提出的立法完全打破，该立法建议禁止性别研究硕士课程。在这篇文章中，我跟踪的情况下，在匈牙利的女性主义地理学的概念，弯曲的空间。这个概念改编自现代物理学，声称质量会产生引力场，即它会弯曲四维时空。我的论点是，在匈牙利的女性主义地理的情况可以解释为一个具体的弯曲的空间。使用这个类比，我认为，目前的匈牙利政府已经积累了如此巨大的权力，使其能够曲线的空间女权主义地理知识生产。它建立了一种准独裁，类似于国家社会主义时代阻碍性别/女权主义地理演变的独裁。因此，只有广泛的团结才能帮助反对现任政府对性别研究的攻击。
Abstract The history of feminist geography in Hungary coincides with the 25 year-long history of Gender, Place and Culture. Authorities denied the existence of gender inequality in the era of state socialism, which was the primary obstacle to the spread of gender studies. The political changes that had occurred after 1989 had removed most obstacles, but feminist geography emerged with a delay relative to other disciplines. Its first two decades was characterised by struggles and compromises within and against the geographical discipline in order for it to win recognition. The 25 year-long history of feminist studies has, however, been completely broken by legislation proposed by the current government suggesting a ban on masters programs in gender studies. In this article, I trace the situation of feminist geography in Hungary by applying the concept ʻcurved spaceʼ. This concept adapted from modern physics claims that mass creates a gravitational field, i.e. it bends 4-dimensional ʻspacetimeʼ. My argument is that the situation of feminist geography in Hungary can be interpreted as an embodiment of ʻcurved spaceʼ. Using this analogy, I argue that the current Hungarian government has amassed such a huge amount of power that has enabled it to curve the space of feminist geographical knowledge production. It has established a quasi-dictatorship that resembles the one that impeded the evolution of gender/feminist geography in the state socialist era. Therefore, only broad-based solidarity can help create opposition to the current government’s attacks against gender studies.
