Music in the Identities of Ethnic Slovaks in Hungary
Music in the Identities of Ethnic Slovaks in Hungary

Summary/Abstract: The identity of the ethnic Slovak minority of Hungary is the main focus of the analysis in this paper. We have looked into the ways ethnic Slovaks in Hungary express their ethnic identities through music. Our analysis is based on multiple data sources created in the ENRI-EAST project for the study on cultural identities of the ethnic minorities in some Eastern European countries . The data includes some results from the ENRI-VIS quantitative study, though most of the analysis is based on the data from the biographical study and Cultural Identities and Music pilot study . Although music is used in this analysis as a marker of ethnic identity, our approach is based on sociological methods and this paper does not cover musicological analysis of the musical material which was collected during the research.
