Replika is a Hungarian social science quarterly devoted to encouraging professional debate and facilitating interdisciplinary dialogue since 1990. Replika also publishes a special issue in English once a year, presenting a selection of essays on new trends and topics in Central European social sciences for the English speaking world.
Replika’s 1998 special issue, entitled Central European Hysteria, is divided into three thematic sections. The first contains the life-narratives of four Hungarian women, preceded by a detailed introductory essay which discusses diverse and complex readings of the texts. The second section explores the political, social, cultural, and psychoanalytical meanings of hysteria in the region. The third thematic section focuses on the restructuring of agriculture in Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania following the fall of communism.

Replika’s 1997 special issue, Ambiguous Identities in the New Europe, contains articles on various projects of becoming and belonging in the 'New Europe'. The contributions draw their arguments from empirical research (ethnographic and historical) based on fieldwork or discursive analysis. They provide more or less explicit definitions of national, regional, ethnic, religious, or gendered identities, and all reflect a similar perspective, emphasising ambiguity, flux, and constant change. The authors point out the coeval existence of various alternative subject positions, discuss strategies of negotiating between them, and stress that identities are constructed by means of political and/or narrative representations.
