Egy 1957-es irodalmi vita

Author(s): Péter Cseke / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 10/2012

Az SzKP 20. kongresszusán elhangzott hruscsovi „titkos beszéd” Romániában nem vált ismertté. A pártalapszervezetekben a moszkvai küldöttség – késõre közreadott és manipulált – jelentését dolgozták fel. Ez szolgált alapul a tartományi pártbizottságok kulturális osztályain lezajlott kiértékeléseknek, az 1956. június 18. és 24. között megtartott romániai írókongresszus elõkészté- sének. Ennek során az Írószövetség lapja, a Gazeta literarã Szabédi Lászlót és Nagy Istvánt is megszólaltatta, az Utunk pedig Székely János, Sütõ András, Földes László gondolatait adta közre Az írókongresszus elõtt címen.

Karácsony Benő kiadatlan ars poeticája

Author(s): András Lengyel / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 01/2013

Magyar László (1900—1971), aki szegedi újságíróként egyike volt a legjobbaknak (egyebek közt Juhász Gyula és Móra Ferenc baráti körébe tartozott, a fiatal József Attilát is istápolta), a harmincas évek utolsó harmadától Budapesten élt, s az Esti Kurír munkatársaként dolgozott. Kapcsolatrendszere és tapasztalatai elsõsorban Szegedhez kötötték, de a fõvárosban is föltalálta magát. Érdekes mód új nexusai közül több is Nagyváradhoz s Erdélyhez kapcsolta (Nagyváradon 1942- ben könyve is jelent meg Juhász Gyuláról, Milyen volt szõkesége címmel).

“Crowds confined into phalansteries built from their own data, human mass regressed into a hedonistic infant body.”: Isolation and Crowd in László Garaczi’s Novel Weszteg

Author(s): Dorka Keresztury / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

The article examines how László Garaczi’s Weszteg portrays isolation and mass formation in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. In the first part of my essay, I investigate the representation of the “quarantine state.” I argue that in the novel, technology deepens isolation instead of helping to connect with others. In the next section, I examine how the novel depicts the transformation of our relationship with “live” presence, physical proximity, and mass situations due to the pandemic and increasing technological mediation. As I show, physical contact with others and being in a crowd appear exclusively as inconvenient, frustrating, or threatening experiences in the novel. Thereafter, I analyze the dystopian images of violent, barbaric crowds in the text. I claim that they condense collective fears arising from the pandemic, and the novel sensitively points out the mechanisms of scapegoating in times of crisis. Finally, I argue that the novel also vividly portrays a mass experience that is not connected to physical presence. The “virtual crowd,” organized with the facilitation of mass media, is depicted as a multitude of lonely, isolated individuals. I scrutinize the characteristics of this crowd, as well as the role of biopolitical power and mass media—especially aggressive news streams—in organizing the masses and maintaining isolation.

Borgesi mintázatok Grendel Lajos Bőröndök tartalma című elbeszélésében

Author(s): Viktória Gažík / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 3/2024

This paper examines the content of Lajos Grendel's novella Bőröndök tartalma [The Contents of Suitcases], dedicated to Jorge Luis Borges and published in 1986. Its aim is to identify specific links between the Grendel novella and Borges' oeuvre. The study picks out Borges's short story The Book of Sand as a preface, and to prove the existing links between the two opuses, it first describes the chronological circumstances, then uses narratological and comparative methods to examine the text from the following aspects: standpoint, character traits, plot. The analysis also focuses on the differences between the two texts and on the characteristics of the infinite book, which becomes central to both ones. The paper also deals with the fantasy-based interpretation of magical realism and its manifestation in Grendel's oeuvre (essays Prikk és Pantheosz [Prikk and Pantheos]; Valóság, fantasztikum, mágia [Reality, Fantasy, Magic]).

Kosztolányi Dezső „Édes Anna” című regényének színpadi adaptációja a Marosvásárhelyi Nemzeti Színház Tompa Miklós Társulatának előadásában

Author(s): Kinga Varga / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1 (44)/2023

“Édes Anna”, the novel by the famous Hungarian writer Dezső Kosztolányi, written in 1926, has had twenty-seven stage adaptations throughout the Carpatian Basin in Hungarian. It is about a female servant in the 1920’s in Budapest, who serves at a middle-classed family, and finally she kills her masters. On the 19th of September 2003, the Miklós Tompa Company of the National Theatre of Târgu-Mureș staged their own adaptation of the novel which was directed by László Gali, based on the script by Tibor Solténszky. This adaptation had already been staged in Komárom two years earlier. What were the particularities of the performance in Târgu-Mureș? In my paper I will outline this question in the context of other Édes Anna adaptations and show the peculiarities of this one in light of Hungarian theatre history, that are not sufficiently visible at first sight.
