A polgárosodás és individualizáció jelei az ezredfordulón a lakásmód és tárgykultúra változásainak tükrében
Sings of Embourgeoisement and Individualisation at the Turn of the Millennium from the Perspective of the Changing Housing Habits and Object Culture

Summary/Abstract: The authors have laid out the changes characteristic for the changing housing habits at the turn of the millennium in several scientific papers. Their present contribution focuses on those tendencies which could be viewed as symptoms of the process of embourgeoisement and individualization in the cultural and sociological context of post-socialist Hungary. The process of embourgeoisement started in Hungary in the 19th century, and received a new impetus in the 20th century. A somewhat idiosyncratic form of the process has also been characteristic for the period of state socialism, starting with the sixties, but the deciding impulse was given by the regime change. Bourgeois mentality, based on individual initiative, has become an ideologically legitimate and even dominant model in the nineties, and found its expression in the material symbols and object culture discussed by the authors.
