Az otthon és a távoli égövek. Transzlokális és mitikus terek Hajnal Anna költészetében
Translocal and Mythical Spaces in the Poetry of Anna Hajnal

Summary/Abstract: The study explores mythical and translocal spaces in the poetry of Anna Hajnal (1907–1977). Translocal spaces do not belong to a single city, to a single culture, they are multi-layered, constantly in flux. The oeuvre of Anna Hajnal, a member of the third generation of the Nyugat, has many transcultural aspects. The poetess grew up in a Germanspeaking village (Kohfidisch, Gyepüfüzes), in a family with a Hungarian-Jewish identity, and the recurring memory of this environment provided a symbolic basis for the lyrical creation of spatial hybridisation. The study deals with the activation of spaces of memory, visualisation, the motif of the mirror as a gateway between the profane and the sacred, the fusion of mythical and exotic spaces (labyrinth, underworld, jungle) into the domestic.
