Rock, Lies and YouthPark. The Interpretation and Reinterpretation of the Concept of Collaboration: The Case of Agent ‘Dalos’ and its Recollections

Summary/Abstract: This study focuses on the responses to the 2004 exposure of ‘Dalos’, an agent of the secret police in the Hungarian pop scene, through his person, his reports and interviews with the subjects of his reports. The media has presented the person and his reports in various interpretive frameworks, with attitudes ranging from moral denunciations, objective explanations, and forgiving/accepting. The thematic interviews with the subject of ‘Dalos’s reports presents a diversified palette too: upon confronting these individuals with the reports on their person, some chose to understate the responsibility of the agent, some attempted to interpret his motivations and some condemned him on a normative basis. The accounts of contemporaneous events in ‘Dalos’s reports provide insight into the centralised popular music scene of the socialist state. They reveal the tactics and strategies employed by those active in the field of popular music, for example, to loosen censorship by being able to perform while expressing their opinions, even if it is through lyrics of a symbolic language.
