Mi történt a jugoszláviai/vajdasági magyar irodalomban 1918-ban?
What happened in hungarian literature in Yugoslavia/Vojvodina in 1918?

Summary/Abstract: The research examines one of the most important principles of the Hungarian literary history discourse in Vojvodina – considered valid to this day – the axiom formed at the beginning of 1918. The interpretation and understanding of the results take into account the ideological influences, historical-poetic traditions and literary approaches that led to and influenced the above-mentioned canonization procedures (synthesis of Hungarian literary history in Vojvodina, creating the Lexicon of Hungarian Literature in Yugoslavia then in Vojvodina, publishing book histories and bibliographies) the beginnings of Hungarian literature in Yugoslavia / Vojvodina were connected with the date of the establishment of a political construct, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The paper presents the sense in which modern perceptions of the history of literature have overturned the positivist and substantive methods that defined the mentioned historical ideas, thus modifying / deconstructing the overall picture of the life form of Hungarian literature in Yugoslavia / Vojvodina. At the same time, the interpretation preserves the canonical, forward-looking and enduring values of historical traditions (e.g. Imre Bori’s vision of literary history).
