Summary/Abstract: The five studies in this volume present the Hungarian cultural field in Slovakia from different perspectives. The first paper, by Zsófia Nagy, highlights the links between culture and identity politics, pointing out that culture does not exist in isolation, but is in constant dialogue with politics. The fact that (cultural) politics does not only shape culture symbolically is demonstrated by András Morauszki's study on the evolution of the system of cultural subsidies and the structure of the actors applying for them. The third study, by Marianna Mrva, approaches the cultural field from the point of view of the next important factor in cultural life: the audience. It highlights the social inequalities that lie behind cultural consumption practices. The focus then shifts to the media. Dóra Mierka's paper describes the situation of public service media in Slovakia, including broadcasting in the languages of minorities. This is followed by Zsuzsanna Lampl's study on the 50 years of media consumption by Hungarians in Slovakia, presenting a range of data never published before.

- Keywords:Discourses of Identity Politics in the Hungarian Cultural Field in Slovakia
- Summary/Abstract:The topic of this paper is the examination of the discourses of the Hungarian cultural field in Slovakia, the role of linguistic-cultural representations in identity politics: i.e., how cultural products, texts and institutions mediate or construct minority identity-related contents. The issues of minority identity content are phenomena that constantly arise in the Hungarian scene in Slovakia, and these acts of identification are manifested in the discourses and representations of the cultural field, among other things. This text argues, first of all, that in order to understand the minority identity project, it is necessary to examine these discourses and representations from an identity politics perspective: on the one hand, this can provide valuable information for understanding minority identification processes and for raising awareness of the processual and situational character of identity, and on the other hand, such an examination of the cultural field can serve as an interesting addition to purely aesthetic and professional approaches. The aim of the text is to outline an interdisciplinary conceptual network and approach that can be used to analyse discourses and representations from an identity politics perspective. From the point of view of identity policy analysis, it is crucial that the Hungarian scene in Slovakia is seen as a nation-building minority, and thus patterns of nation-building (i.e. attempts to define national identity) can be revealed in discourses and representations. The paper summarizes relevant theories of nationalism research and the role of cultural references in nation-building, thus placing such phenomena in the Hungarian scene in Slovakia in a theoretical and regional historical context.

- Keywords:Examination of the Minority Culture Fund Tenders (2018–2022)
- Summary/Abstract:The Minority Culture Fund (KULT MINOR) was established in 2017 and has been supporting cultural activities of national minorities in Slovakia since 2018. The Fund is the central institution of the Slovak state's support for minorities and the main means by which the state fulfils its obligations as a signatory to international treaties on the protection of national minorities. Minority grants have been available in Slovakia through the Fund since 2018, earlier they had been awarded by the Ministry of Culture and the Government Office. The current system differs from the previous ones in several important respects: minorities have more influence on the functioning of the grant system in general and on decision-making within it than before, the yearly minimum contribution of the state to the Fund is set by law at a significantly higher level than before, and the proportions of the distribution of grants between national minorities are also fixed. However, there is more continuity in terms of the objectives supported, the applicants and the decision-making criteria. The study compares the composition of applicants, application activity and the distribution of grants during the period when grants were awarded by the Government Office and by the Minority Culture Fund, pointing out the changes brought about by the restructuring of the application system and the relative unchangedness of the awarding priorities. Based on the data published by the Minority Culture Fund, the study also examines the participation of Hungarian cultural institutions and individuals in the application process: the distribution of applicants and their applications, as well as the distribution of the requested and received support in terms of the purpose of the projects, the type of applicants, and the territorial distribution of all these. It then attempts to identify and characterise different, well-defined groups of applicants, again on the basis of the data available and the behaviour of applicants that can be inferred from this.

- Keywords:representative sociological survey; Hungarians in Slovakia; culture; visiting institutions and events; access to culture; extent and intensity of cultural consumption
- Summary/Abstract:This study explores the issue of passive cultural participation, in other words cultural consumption, of Hungarians in Slovakia. It presents the most popular forms of cultural institution and event attendance, followed by music, film and reading. However, its aims go beyond descriptive characterisation: it examines which features of social stratification influence and shape cultural consumption; it observes how different cultural programmes are interrelated, how they can be grouped and what the characteristics of visitors in each group are; and it asks whether the inequalities in online cultural consumption are different from those in the offline world. The study is thus primarily empirical, drawing on data from two representative sociological surveys of a sample of Hungarians in Slovakia. The main findings show that the consumption of culture by Hungarians in Slovakia is highly correlated with accessibility: its material dimension on the one hand and its physical dimension on the other. In fact, people with higher incomes have a significantly more intensive cultural life than people with lower incomes, but there is also an advantage of the urban population compared to the rural population. In addition to accessibility, cultural capital, gender, and age also play an important role. The study also shows, however, that these factors determine not only the intensity of cultural consumption but also the form it takes: some areas are more characteristic of young people, others of women, and others of high-income, highly educated people. To sum up, social situation and demographic characteristics are inseparable factors in cultural consumption.

- Summary/Abstract:The media are an important part of social and cultural life. As in the life of the majority nation, so in the life of national minorities, the mother tongue media and the provision of information in the mother tongue play an important role. For national minorities, one source of this content is the public service media, and its broadcasts in their languages. Programmes and contents in the languages of national minorities have a long history in Slovakia going back decades. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the role of broadcasting in minority languages in public service media, the concept of public service and the most important phenomena in media theory approaches to it, and to provide an overview of the present and future of public service media in the Slovak–Hungarian cultural context. A separate chapter also presents the results of a small-scale survey of the audience itself, the Hungarians in Slovakia, on their media consumption habits and their attitudes towards Slovak public media broadcasting in the Hungarian language.

- Keywords:sociology; Hungarians in Slovakia; media; press; television; radio; internet; preferences; trends
- Summary/Abstract:In this study, we trace the media consumption of Hungarians in Slovakia over the last fifty years, based on data from ten sociological surveys. We present the evolution of the basic indicators, i.e. how the different types of media and the preferences for specific press products, television and radio have evolved. The social stratification of each preference group is also described. The first chapter deals with media consumption in the 1970s, the second chapter traces the trends after the change of regime and in the new millennium, and the third chapter provides a basic picture of media consumption today. In the paper we also publish a number of data that have not been published anywhere before.
