Vándorbot: egy falusi irodalmi próbálkozás
Vándorbot – a Rural Literary Endeavor

Summary/Abstract: In the 1960s the Vándorbot (The Wandering Cane) appeared as the only literary magazine in Moravica, a village in Vojvodina (today’s Bácskossuthfalva). The cultural centers of the Hungarians of Vojvodina were Novi Sad and Subotica, the rural towns and country towns adapted to them, and the villages were at most only consumers of the culture managed from upper levels. The Wandering Cane, which emerged under the conditions of strong centralization and in the system that intended to oversee everything, was not taken seriously, but merely regarded as a flame of a straw. Mostly because it was lacking community support the magazine could not become anything more important. Nevertheless, it is an excellent example of the emergence of new trends in the youth literature of Vojvodina at that time. Alongside the Symposion, then the Új Symposion, as well as the Literary section of the Képes Ifjúság, Wandering Cane represented a confrontation to them (ROGINER 1999). In the following research, I will attempt to illustrate the founding, publishing and dissolution of Vándorbot /Wandering Cane/ based on incomplete data sources.
