Lefele igazodj! Térképzetek a trianoni változást tematizáló magyar regényekben
Up or Down? Modalities of Constructing the Memory of Trianon in the Space-practices of the Hungarian Inter-war Novel

Summary/Abstract: The treaties of Paris and the political changes brought by them marked a special state of in-betweenness for those citizens who entered under new political rule. While their homeland as a physical space continued to represent a safe, well-known place, its context changed, and the change asked for new interpretations. The „domestification” of this space required the negotiation of new sets of values, and new identities. My research presents the way the communicative memory describes the political changes brought by the year 1920 in a set of Transylvanian-Hungarian novels written in the inter-war period. The focus of the research is on the life-strategies, conflicts and decisions presented through the protagonists, and the way these are reflected in the spatial practices presented in the novels.
