A humor stílusalakzatai Szabó Magda leveleskönyvében

Author(s): Julianna Lőrincz / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 4/2017

In this study the author describes linguistic means of expressing humour, irony and sarcasm based on texts in Magda Szabó’s book of letters entitled Dear Kumacs! Letters to Éva Haldimann. Dealing with terminology issues in the beginning of the study, the author states that, since they appear together in humorous texts, in many cases notions of humour, irony and sarcasm are treated as synonyms in literature. The style of the letters by Magda Szabó is characterised by varied tone adequate to the given topics: elaborate, humorous, playful, ironic or sarcastic. The study primarily focuses on playful, humorous and ironic names in the address forms and closing formulas of the texts of the letters. The author chooses from the letters those repetitive figures expressing humour which have text-cohesive function.

A József Attila-komplexum. „Miért fáj ma is” Az ismeretlen József Attila

Author(s): Gábor Paneth / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 01/1993

E tanulmánykötet a költő halála után fél évszázaddal jelent meg, a József Attila személyét és művészetét érintő, szűnni nem akaró ideológiai kisajátítások áradata után: s csak egy relatíve szabad időszakban, 1988 és 1992 között jöhetett létre. A szerzők hihetetlenül gondos filológiai munkálkodás során adtak közre eddig ismeretlen vagy hibásan-töredékesen megismert szövegeket, melyek részben a költő privát szférájából származnak, betegségével, gyógykezelésével kapcsolatosak, részben párttagsága bonyodalmait ismertetik. További tanulmányok írásművészetével, kreativitásával foglalkoznak. A mintegy tizenöt szerző írását tartalmazó, mindvégig igen tömény, egyenletesen magas színvonalú szöveg egyforma részletességű elemző ismertetése itt megvalósíthatatlan. Egyes fejezetek kiemeltebb tárgyalása nem minőségi szempontok szerint történik, hanem az e recenziót vezérlő gondolatmenethez való hozzájárulásuk alapján.

A kánonok mögötti személyes

A művészet ideológiai megközelítésének korlátairól

Author(s): Adrián Bene / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 2/2018

Political influence on Hungarian art and literature has re-inforced since 2010. System of National Cooperation tend to exercise hegemonic power in all area of economy, media and culture. Recently, a series of articles has published in the government-associated newspaper Magyar Idők which suggests the restriction of theso-calledleft-wing/liberal art and literature in Hungarian culture, including the rethinking of the modern canon, e.g. setting a low value on Péter Esterházy. The naivety of this effort is obvious for those who have the slightest acknowledge concerning canonization, literary field and discourse analysis – or simply run through the diaries and memoirs of some central figures of theHungarian cultural establishment during the decades of socialism. Such examples as that of István Király’s and Pál Réz’s show that the personality, and the personal relations are just as important constituents of literature and canon a stheofficial demands and restrictions.

A kívülállás perspektívái a kortárs magyar irodalmi szövegekben – komparatisztikai értelmezések

Author(s): Sarolta Kulcsar / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 2/2019

The title of the dissertation (Perspectives of detachment in contemporary Hungarian literature – comparative literary analyses) was inspired by the texts that were consciously selected and analysed during the research. The interpretations focus on the characters and the aspects of marginality, furthermore on the theoretical differentiation between the concepts of strangeness and detachment. Detachment can be interpreted as a hypernym, that creates a framework where representation and self representation both have significant roles. Contemporary Hungarian literary texts that intertwine with literary traditions are the focal point of the research. For example take Seven Pennies, a short story by Zsigmond Móricz written in 1908. The text enables the interpretation of the beggar character in the Hungarian literature, making the intertextual analysis of the 'beggar' essential in present-day Hungarian literature. The paper examines the beggar, the homeless, and the adopted child characters as outsiders, at the same time problematic aspects of the broken home, marginality, and the lowlife existence, respectively the theoretical approaches and world literary connections of these tropes and topics. The works of Julia Kristeva, Jacques Derrida, Gordon Willard Allport, Gérard Genette, Enikő Darabos, Zsuzsa Tapodi, Slavoj Žižek, Antal Bokay, István Fried, Vladimir Gvozden and other authors provide the theoretical background for the thesis.The subject of the research are the problem and theoretical perspective of detachment, while the primary means of analysis is the comparative method. As a result the complexity of the concept of detachment can be revealed, additionally the variety of the examined characters. Based on these the paper aims to work out a typology, since such a comparative research, as well as a classification has not yet been completed regarding contemporary Hungarian literary texts

A kompozícióba szőtt didaxis: a szereplők narratív-strukturális funkciója az ideológiai nézőpont kialakításában – Karinthy Ferenc: Budapesti tavasz

Author(s): Zoltán Z. Varga / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 4/2018

The novel Spring Comes to Budapest by Ferenc Karinthy was considered to be an emblematic literary depiction of the siege in the 1950s. The literary representation of the end game of the Second World War in Hungary met the historical and social image of the communist cultural policy; nevertheless, in addition to following the guidelines of the socialist realistic representation, scope was left for articulating other, namely, non-communist social perspectives, too. The analysis follows the “evolutionary history” of the bourgeois-intellectual hero in the space of social-ideological positions embodied in the characters. In addition to the structural and ideological functions of the characters, it also presents the role of endowing the nation-stereotypes with moral and political connotation, the metaphorical and topical network of the novel, layers of meaning resulting from the organisation of space and time, and the compositional significance of the accentuated scenes, namely, their ideological meanings.

A kontextuálás módszertani lehetőségei egy román nyelvű magyar irodalomtörténetben

Author(s): Ferenc Vincze / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 4/2017

A preliminary to a possible history of Hungarian literature in Romanian presents several methodological problems, which partly concern the methodology and practice of writing a literary history, and partly various phenomena in the Romanian and Hungarian literary media. The paper first deals with the international practice of writing a literary history and its influence on Hungarian discourse, then surveys the past twenty or twentyfive years’ experience of Hungarian literary studies concerning the topic. Next, it brings up several characteristics of Romanian literary history writing which may be relevant from the viewpoint of writing a history of Hungarian literature in Romanian. Last, it covers issues of fiction and literary translation, which can by no means be bypassed when planning and undertaking such a project.

A közjó Bessenyei György Tariménes útazása című regényében (1804)

Author(s): Márton Szilágyi / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 04/2016

The study analyses the state-novel that was written by György Bessenyei (1746?–1811) in the last section of his life, and remained unpublished then. It chiefly explores the picture the novel draws about ideal government, and the way it imagines the working of parliament in the world of idealized kingship. This work, a late Hungarian adaptation of a genre that had been representative throughout the 18th century, uses its utopia-like structure to present political questions that were on the agenda in contemporary Hungary: the key motif is the state that creates harmony in both the agrarian world and among the various religious confessions. In the novel this ideal monarchy also proves its strength on the battlefield: it defeats the aggressive country in its neighborhood, governed tyrannically, and exports its own form of government into the political vacuum that evolves after the fall of tyranny. The novel ends in a rather mysterious way: the ideal state, governed by a beautiful and wise queen, proves inable to integrate the novel’s hero, a visitor coming as a guest from outside. Married in the meantime, this protagonist, instead of settling there, decides to return with his bride to the provincial house of his parents. Thus, the ideal state, while embodying the common good, cannot serve as the worthy framework of individual happiness even in a fictional novel.

A KÖZTESSÉG OTTHONOSSÁGA TOLNAI OTTÓ MŰVÉSZETÉBEN

Author(s): Anikó Novák / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 2/2019

In-betweenness, hibridity and heterogeneity are key categories in the works of Ottó Tolnai. The coziness of in-betweenness characterizes his opus from the beginning. The aim of the paper is to examine in-between spaces, identities and transgressions in Ottó Tolnai’s novel Szeméremékszerek on the basis of related theoretical works by Michel Foucault, Marc Augé, Andrei Pleşu and Gérard Genette. The analyzed novel is connected to the motive of in-betweenness in many aspects. Its action takes place in the boundary zone, the narrative voice and the narrator’s identity are in-between. The narrator speaks as Scheherazade, so this situation is also in-between. The investigation reveals that Tolnai’s text universe cannot be forced into predetermined categories or systems because it always resists, constantly moving out, so it exists in a kind of intermediate state.

A Kriterion Kiadó (1970–1989) interjúkban.

Egy kutatás keretei

Author(s): Katalin Ágnes Bartha / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: III/2016

The present study deals with the history of the Kriterion Publishing House between 1970–1989 as constructed through audio interviews made with several ex-members of the publishing house staff . The pre-planned interviews were made with the purpose of learning about the ways in which the publishing house supported the minority cultures so that to ensure their survival in the last two decades of the Romanian communist regime. In doing so, the study focuses on a significant phenomenon of the cultural life from the period by combining anthropological and micro-historical methods with discourse analytic approach. By examining the cultural components of the informants’ discursive accounts the study intends to provide a novel interpretative framework concerning the Kriterion, a framework which consists of identity-aspects involved in every-day working practices and of the limits set by the ruling power of the period.
