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 káromkodáskultúra pragmatikai vizsgálata Végel László Neoplanta, avagy az Ígéret Földje című regényében

Author(s): Tímea Tóth / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2016

According to the simplest definition, cursing means the use of a rough word, expression or phase. Today there is nearly no place, conversation, film in which a curse could not be heard regardless of the fact that it not always has a negative connotation. Although they do not imply an aesthetic experience, by their increasing occurrence we have to consider them a lingual phenomenon in our days. The paper analyses the cursing formulations in László Végel’s Neoplanta, avagy az Ígéret Földje [Neoplanta, or the Promised Land]. Within this, primarily the ones that the narrator, Lazo Pavletić, a Serbian cabman is using. It presents the etymology and semantics of cursing. The collected cursing corpus appears in the Hungarian novel in Serbian, consequently the study points out their Hungarian equivalent as well (if there is such).

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 KÖLTŐI IRÓNIA VÉRES TÉTJE AVALÓSÁG

Author(s): J. József Fekete / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2020

The study deals with the poet Bela Csorba. Comparing the two previous artistic reviews, he discusses the poet's ironic, satirical, sometimes grotesque critique of society and the epoch and his role in public life. His vision of the world is dystopian, but his poetic expression is at the same time humorous, playful, liberating, suggesting that the surviving tragedy of a minority destiny can be responded to by one aphorism, palinodyor humorous verse. From the richness and diversity of the poetic expressions used come language turns, humorous sayings, humor woven in to the language of poetry and an immediate and direct way of addressing the reader, which is a characteristic of his children's poetry and poems addressed to adults.

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 könyvtáblák titka: könyvkölcsönzésről, bejegyzésekről, imáról és varázslásról

Author(s): Borbála Lovas / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2022

The Harris Manchester College Library at Oxford contains four volumes of György Enyedi’s (1555–1597) Explicationes locorum Veteris et Novi Testamenti (Explanations of the Places of the Old and New Testaments) – two Latin editions and two Hungarian editions. One of the Hungarian editions contains some curious notes, old prayers (relating to superstition, magic and folklore traditions) and notes about exchanging manuscripts of sermons for copying. The main aim of this article is to introduce this handwritten heritage (prayers and practical notes), and the related body of sermons and contemporaneous sources, and to provide practical details about 17th-century copying traditions.

A kortárs író. Miklós Bánffy: The Enchanted Night

Author(s): Júlia-Réka Vallasek / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 11/2021

In a review article about Miklós Bánffy’s The Enchanted Night, a collection of short stories published in English translation, the author identifies as the main strategy of the translator an attempt to offer a view of Bánffy as a contemporary writer. Besides characteristics in the narrative that are stressed through selection, a special focus on the female characters is also discussed as a possibility to see Bánffy as a contemporary writer.

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 KÖZÖSSÉGI MÉDIA DISZTÓPIÁJA (DAVE EGGERS: A KÖR)

Author(s): Erzsébet Csányi,Otto Beke / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2020

Dave Eggers A kör (The Circle, 2013) című regénye a közösségi média disztópiája. A szövegben ábrázolt online-számítógépes környezet által alapszerkezetében meghatározott regényvilágot az online és az offline térre egyaránt vonatkozó megfigyelés és normalizáció, továbbá a személyes adatok gyűjtése jellemzi. A műben a felejtés és a törlés joga senkit semmilyen körülmények között sem illet meg. Az információk felhalmozása, a megfigyelés és az online tér konstitutív szerepe együttesen az internetes látszattevékenység (pszeudoaktivitás) eszkalációját és fokozódását eredményezi, ily módon hozzájárulva a status quo fenntartásához. A regényből 2017-ben készült filmadaptáció, a téma időszerűségét pedig az egyre tömegesebb, penetráns közösségimédia-használat és a megfigyelő kultúra, illetve a kapitalizmus egyaránt kidomborítja.

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.

A kulturális emlékezet alapformái Devecseri Gábor Bikasiratójában

Author(s): Anikó Polgár / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2021

The study analyzes Gábor Devecseri’s composition Bikasirató (Mourning a Bull) using the theory of cultural memory as a point of departure, and relying on its three basic forms (linguistic, ritual, and pictorial). The bullfight described in the poem is a spectacle and a mass sensation, but also a ritual event. The ritual background is key to the analysis, as Bikasirató places bullfighting in the context of archaic rituals, ancient mysteries, and passion plays. The linguistic layers of cultural memory are manifested in the varied intertextual relations, in the liturgical formulas becoming commonplace in the mass event, in the archaisms and Latinisms of the language. On a pictorial level, the labyrinthine gallery and the shop window showing commercial objects become important, and in the gallery, images of violence flash in front of visitors.

A kulturális gravitáció modelljének bemutatása

Az irodalomtörténet újraértelmezése a kulturális mozgások figyelembevételével a vajdasági magyar irodalom példáján

Author(s): Melinda Szarvas / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 3/2016

The study deals with a new cultural model which is the cultural gravity. This new model describes the cultural relations between the Hungarian minority literary cultures, the Hungarian literary and the foreign languages literary cultures. The earlier models focused on the mediator roles and on the interdependencies. The cultural gravity emphasizes the independent cultural operation. This theory come from the natural sciences. This study focus on the relations of the Hungarian literature in Vojvodina, and it tries redefines these connections. This literary historical research talks about the conditions of the independent culture. The cultural gravity is in close connection with the other theory, with the network theory. The literary cultures are independent to varying extent. The cultural gravity shows these differences and examines the regional cultures also from this viewpoint.
