A szimbolikus konfliktus kivetítődései Kolozsváron
Projections of the Symbolic Conflict in Kolozsvár

Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the city of Kolozsvár, an important city for both the Romanian and the Hungarian elite, which is a university and a cultural center at the same time. This is the reason the historically defined competition that characterizes the relationship of the two elite groups appears as a symbolic conflict, at stake being the redistribution of the symbolic capital. The author used the techniques of mental mapping and interviews to unveil the symbolic competition for the urban space, while emphasizing its changing character. Réka Plugor graduated from the Department of Sociology of the Babeş-Bolyai University, she is currently enrolled in the Master’s program. E-mail: rekaplugor@yahoo.com.
