Book Review – Reflection on the Celebratory Volume Anthropology – Thinking – Creating

Summary/Abstract: The celebratory volume, prepared for the 70th birthday of András A. Gergely (AGA),1 was published in December 2022 in the MAKAT2 Books series edited by János Bali, Richárd Papp, István Povedák, Antónia Szász, and Ibolya Tomory and published by the Hungarian Society for Cultural Anthropology. In terms of its formal characteristics, the volume belongs to the Festschrift genre and bears its classical features. This is proven, among other things, by the fact that the celebratory volume includes studies reflecting the diverse research fields of AGA, as well as empirical experiences, past quotations, and eulogies. The large format, the 595-page volume features a portrait of András A. Gergely on the cover. The work of graphic artist Adrienn Umlauf shows the kind face of the Celebrated, his legendary beard, his lively gaze, the “stirring” of his being, the outwardly perceptible ripples of the ever-analysing polymath’s powerful soul.
