A Key Category for Opening Spaces. The Concept of ’Gyűlöletbeszéd’ in the Hungarian Political Discourse 1994–2004

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the function of the controversial concept of ’gyűlöletbeszéd’ in the Hungarian political discourse during the fi rst decade after it had emerged. In the present paper the author attempts to delineate the research results of an extensive empirical analysis. The investigation, which underlies the train of thought, has been conducted in the theoretical and methodological framework of discursive political science. According to this approach the examination purported principally – but not only – to do the interpretive analysis of texts. The article presenting the main conclusions of the research details the issue in three parts. Firstly, it demonstrates the signifi cance of the fact, that the term ’gyűlöletbeszéd’ is a relatively fresh arrival in the Hungarian public discourse, to all intents and purposes it is the metaphrase of the original American–English term hate speech, but its meaning has defi nitely changed having reached a new political-, cultural- and discursive context. Secondly, the paper emphasizes the functionality of the concept’s ambiguity, and musters the different dimensions, regards and effects of this characteristic feature. Thirdly, the treatise explores the relationship between political contest and political action, and presents the action components of the political debates inspired (and framed) by the concept of ’gyűlöletbeszéd’.
