Aranka György „virágénekei”

Author(s): József Kerti / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: III/2016

György Aranka is mostly known for his science organization activities, and became famous during the reception history, however, his literary work, and inside that his poetry is much less known. In my dissertation I’m analyzing one slice of Aranka’s diverse poetry examined on the basis of archival and library research, namely from his occasional poems those ones that were written to women. The greetings of women are a significant proportion in his welcome poems. He wrote greeting poems not only to the lady members of noble families, but also to citizen women, so in this sense is characterized by massive modernization. In my dissertation I examine these verses speak to who, if his career is linked with his personal relationships (what are his real intentions with these poems), or this relationship-building gesture is only for the care of social relationships or for his career’s progress?

Népköltő – nemzeti költő

Author(s): Béla Pomogáts / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2017

Born 200 years ago, János Arany was both a folk poet and a national poet: he represented his original social milieu while also voicing the experiences and efforts of the entire Hungarian nation. As perhaps the most influential Hungarian representative of literary popularity, his influence left an ineffaceable mark not only on 19th-century cultural and nation strategy, but on the 20th-century representatives of the popular literary trend as well.

THE HUNGARIAN LITERARY CULTURE IN SERBIA IN THE LIGHT OF BIBLIOGRAPHY

Author(s): Julianna Ispánovics Csapó / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

The aim of the study is the approach, examination and presentation of the historical, theoretical, institutional nature, frames of the Hungarian literature in Serbia. The result of the research is such a contextual narrative that, with the help of the special bibliography, analyses and summarises the literature of the region, its past and present, in the context of linguistics and culture science, media, theatre and film. Contextualization is traceable in relation between South Slav/Serbian literatures and those of the motherland; on the basis of the bibliographic corpus it outlines the patterns of the endeavours, connections, pointing towards the Yugoslavian/Serbian literary culture.

Háború, közérzet, életvitel

Author(s): Éva Harkai Vass / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 4/2018

Géza Csáth wrote or entered notes into his diary from 1897 to 1919, the year of his death. The full text of his diaries was made available through the last volume of the Series of Diaries published in 2017. The study also outlines the complex network of diary publication. The latest volume of the diaries Sötét örvénybe süllyedek (Swallowed by a Dark Vortex) documented the “micro story” of the years of the First World War, the context of which entries, until now unpublished in book-form, written in 1917–1918 and in 1919 deserve a particular attention. The former two years were the last years of the war, the latter the last year of Csáth’s life, and so the journal entries for the years between 1917 and 1919 offer a specific ending-narrative to the reader.

Der Beginn der institutionalisierten Literatur in Ungarn: Die Gesellschaften der Intellektuellen im Mittelalter und in der Frühen Neuzeit

Author(s): Anita Markó / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2018

Die ungarische Literaturgeschichte weist zahlreiche enge oder lose literarische Kreise und Schriftstellergruppen auf, die im 18. Jahrhundert den Beginn des modernen Literaturlebens kennzeichneten. Die bisherige Fachliteratur sagt, dass die ersten relevanten Zentren des ungarischen (und ungarisch geschriebenen) Literaturlebens erst in den schon hierarchisierten, akademischen und literarischen Kreisen und Salons im 18. Jahrhundert zu orten sind. Meine Forschungen führen mich hingegen zu der Erkenntnis, dass dieses Bedürfnis nach einem organisierten literarischen Leben schon im 15. Jahrhundert auftritt. Das Ziel meiner Arbeit ist es, den Beginn dieser frühen Gruppierungen, die sich von der der Aufklärungszeit natürlich unterschieden, zu erforschen. Die Forschung behandelt die Frage, welche Kontakte die Netzwerke des literarischen Lebens definierten und zuletzt was für ein Modell diese Kollektive gebildet haben. Mein Ausgangspunkt ist, diese frühen Gruppen als kulturelle Knotenpunkte zu sehen. Um den vorliegenden Quellenkorpus analysieren zu können, möchte ich die Methoden der Netzwerkforschung verwenden, und diese führt mich zu der Frage, wie wir diese Gesellschaften als ein Netzwerk, also in einem Graph visualisieren und analysieren können, um dadurch neue Informationen über die Wirkung und die Identität der Literaten zu erhalten. Mit diesem Forschungsbericht möchte ich die wichtigsten Überlegungen, den theoretischen und methodischen Rahmen des interdisziplinären Projekts darstellen.

The Hungarian Market of 19th Century Urban Nationalism and the Recycling of the Urban Mystery Novel

Author(s): Anna Márton-Simon / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

Following the success of Eugène Sue's serial novel Les Mystères de Paris a pattern emerges in the era's literary market. Sue's works provide a narrative, politico-cultural and economic model with a worldwide impact. These works created a new way of presenting a city, while also developing a type of narrative that sometimes precedes the actual urbanization of an area, thus offering ready-made panels when talking about often unfinished processes. Several Hungarian works following the same literary model were published that used the panels introduced by Sue in relation to a city early in the process of urbanization and promote a distinctly national image of Budapest. The popularity of Sue's works helped the kindred Hungarian novels become successful projects. This piece of research attempts to identify the ways in which these transnational patterns became adapted and domesticated by the earliest Hungarian urban mysteries and helped the emergence of a specifically urban nationalist sentiment.

Märchen aus dem märchenhaften Magyarenland. Das Ungarnbild in Mailáths Märchensammlung Magyarische Sagen und Mährchen (Brünn, 1825)

Author(s): Orsolya Lénárt / Language(s): German Issue: 1/2019

Die vorliegende Studie beschäftigt sich mit der Märchensammlung einer deutsch-ungarischen Vermittlerfigur: Graf Johann Mailáth (1786–1855). Mailáth erfüllte nämlich mit seiner Anthologie eine mehrfache Brückenfunktion: Einerseits transferierte er durch seine Erzählungen ein positives, dem Geschmack der Romantik entsprechendes Bild über das Königreich Ungarn. Andererseits wollte er durch seine Märchen, die auch ins Ungarische übersetzt worden sind, eine neue Gattung in der ungarischen Literatur einbürgern. Die Autorin des vorliegenden Aufsatzes versucht hier, die Bedeutung der Magyarischen Sagen und Mährchen hinsichtlich literaturhistorischer Entwicklungen des deutschen und ungarischen Sprachraumes sichtbar zu machen und die darin vermittelten Ungarnbilder im historischen Kontext zu analysieren.

Literarische Sumpflandschaften. Technischer Fortschritt und Naturgestaltung bei Mór Jókai (1825–1904)

Author(s): Endre Hárs / Language(s): German Issue: 1/2019

Der ungarische Romancier Mór (Maurus) Jókai (1825–1904) war in der Hinsicht sicherlich ein Schriftsteller der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts, als er das Fortkommen der Nation mit auf die Technik und die Wissenschaft gerichteten Hoffnungen verband. In seinem über hundert Romane und Erzählungen umfassenden Lebenswerk wird unter anderem ein für das damalige Ungarn bedeutsames Spezialthema, die Hydrografie des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts erfasst. Themen wie die Moorkolonisation, die Flussregulierung und die Melioration sind in verblüffend vielen Werken Jókais handlungsrelevant und entfalten darüber hinaus eine Ästhetik, die ihn zu einem besonderen Vertreter literarischer Topografien macht.

Szentmártoni Bodó János Dialogismusának (RMK I 1333) nyomában. Az elveszett nyomtatvány szegedi töredékmásolatáról

Author(s): Dávid Szigeti Molnár / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2019

János Szentmártoni Bodó (†1648), who is sometimes remembered as the first poet celebrating the merits of work, was a Unitarian minister and poet; many biographies have been written about him. Th is article provides some new details of his life. Szentmártoni Bodó was born in Dicsőszentmárton (Târnăveni), and his son was born after 1619. János Szentmártoni Bodó was also present at the 1624 visitation in Aranyosszék, where he wrote most of his works. One of his works, the Dialogismus has been lost, only its title is known. This work is about the death and resurrection of Christ. It was printed in 1685 in Keresd (Criș). While there is no extant copy, Lajos Dézsi (1868–1932), the literary historian of the University of Szeged, copied a fragment of the print at the beginning of the twentieth century which survives to this day. Based on this it can be established that Dialogimus was written in prose and it is not a dialogue (it looks more like a catechism). This work could have been a lengthy text with considerable literary value. Several parts of the paper suffered severe damage over the years, but fortunately, most of the letters can be inferred. Dialogismus was probably not so radical, propagating Socinianism (the most moderate Unitarian tendency), and its printing sheds light on the religious policy of Mihály Apafi the 1st (1632–1690), the Prince of Transylvania.
