Élet és irodalom
Gróf Dessewffy József (1771–1843) tevékeny főnemes, a 19. század első évtizedeinek közismert, szinte mindenkivel kapcsolatban álló, megkerülhetetlen alakja. Sajátos kettősség jellemzi: négy országgyűlésen követ, a sajtószabadság lelkes híve, aki tevékenyen részt vesz a Magyar Tudós Társaság vagy a Casino felállításában, ugyanakkor gróf Széchenyi István konzervatív ellenfele, aki értetlenül áll főúri barátja reformtervei előtt. A magyar kultúra bőkezű mecénása, író, költő, Kazinczy Ferenc meghitt barátja, a magyar nyelv rajongója, aki lelkesen vesz részt a nyelvújítás korának kritikai vitáiban, ugyanakkor Bajza József maradi ellenfele a Conversations-lexikoni pörben, szálka egy feltörekvő nemzedék szemében. Ezek az ellentmondások az érzékeny embertípus 19. századi hanyatlásával és bukásával magyarázhatók. A monográfia azt a társadalomtörténeti folyamatot mutatja be, amiként a 19. század modernizálódó és intézményesülő polgári nyilvánosságának keretei közt a mindennapi élet esztétikailag elgondolt társas és magángyakorlatai formálódnak.
Imre Kertész and Holocaust Literature
Publisher Description
Urban Culture and the Modern City
When consulting key works on urban studies, the absence of Central and Eastern European towns is striking. Cities such as Vienna, Budapest, Prague, and Trieste, where such notable figures as Freud, Ferenczi, Kafka, and Joyce lived and worked, are rarely studied in a translocal framework, as if Central and Eastern Europe were still a blind spot of European modernity. This volume expands the scope of literary urban studies by focusing on Budapest and Hungarian small towns, offering in-depth analyses of the intriguing link between literature, the arts, and material culture in the 20th and 21st centuries. The case studies situate Hungarian urban culture within the global flow of ideas as they explore the period of modernism, the mid-century, and the post-1989 era in a context that moves well beyond the borders of the country.
Armed Memory
The edited volume aims to re-contextualize revolts in early modern Central and Southern Europe (Hungary, Croatia, Czech Lands, Austria, Germany, Italy) by adopting the interdisciplinary and comparative methods of social and cultural history. Instead of structural explanations like the model of state-building versus popular resistance, it wishes to put back the peasants themselves to the historical narratives of revolts. Peasants appear in the book as active agents fighting or bargaining for freedom, which was a practical issue for them. Nonetheless, the language of lord-peasant negotiation was that of religion, just as official punishments used Christian symbols. The approach of revolts as t...
Themes of Polemical Theology Across Early Modern Literary Genres
This innovative volume spans the early modern period and ranges across literary genres, confessional divides and European borders. It brings together twenty-three scholars from thirteen different countries to explore the dynamic and profound ways in which polemical theology, its discourses and codes, interacted with non-theological literary genres in this era. Offering depth as well as breadth, the contributions chart a myriad of intersections between Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran and Reformed polemics and a range of literary types composed in Latin and the vernacular across Europe. Individual essays discuss how genres such as history and poetry often represented a vehicle to promote and vali...
Conservative Ideology in the Making
The fifty years or so preceding the watershed of 1848–49 witnessed the emergence of liberal nationalism in Hungary, along with a transmutation of conservatism which appeared then as a party and an ideological system in the political arena. The specific features of the conservatism, combining the protection of the status quo with some reform measures, its strategic vision, conceptual system, argumentation, assessment criteria and values require an in depth exploration and analysis. Different conservative groups were in the background or in opposition from 1848 to 1918, while in the period between the two World Wars, they constituted the overwhelming majority of ruling parties. During the on...
Literary Canon Formation as Nation-Building in Central Europe and the Baltics
This volume presents regional approaches on the formation and transformation of national literary canons as a practice of nation-building in various cultural traditions (Polish, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Estonian, etc.) from the 19th century to the present times.
Images-within-Images in Italian Painting (1250-1350)
The rebirth of realistic representation in Italy around 1300 led to the materialization of a pictorial language, which dominated Western art until 1900, and it dominates global visual culture even today. Paralleling the development of mimesis, self-reflexive pictorial tendencies emerged as well. Images-within-images, visual commentaries of representations by representations, were essential to this trend. They facilitated the development of a critical pictorial attitude towards representation. This book offers the first comprehensive study of Italian meta-painting in the age of Giotto and sheds new light on the early modern and modern history of the phenomenon. By combining visual hermeneutic...
Spirományok
Spiró György sokarcú alkotó. Ha egy asztal köré ültetnénk a lírikus, a prózaíró, a drámaíró, a dramaturg, a színházigazgató, a szlavista, az összehasonlító irodalomtörténész, a kritikus, az esszéista, a műfordító, a Shakespeare-kutató, a drámatörténész, az esztéta, az egyetemi oktató, a polonista, a Közép-Európa-szakértő, a publicista és a közszereplő Spirót, vajon mit mondanának egymásnak? Spiró György életművében legalább annyi ellentmondás található, mint jól kirajzolódó ív és kereszthivatkozás. De nemcsak művei ellentmondásosak, hanem azok megítélése is: pályáját éles, nem csupán irodalomkritikai érdekeltség vit...
Women’s Literary Tradition and Twentieth-Century Hungarian Writers
In Women’s Literary Tradition and Twentieth-Century Hungarian Writers, Anna Menyhért presents the cases of five women writers whose legacy literary criticism has neglected or distorted, thereby depriving succeeding generations of vital cultural memory and inspiration. A best-selling novelist and poet in her time, Renée Erdős wrote innovatively about women's experience of sexual love. Minka Czóbel wrote modern trauma texts only to pass into literary history branded, as a result of ideological pressure in communist times, as an 'ugly woman'. Ágnes Nemes Nagy, celebrated for her ‘masculine’ poems, felt she must suppress her ‘feminine’ poems. Famous writer’s widow Ilona Harmos Kosztolányi’s autobiographical writing tackles the physical challenges of girls' adolescence, and offers us a woman’s thoughtful Holocaust memoir. Anna Lesznai, émigrée and visual artist, wove together memory and fiction using techniques from patchworking and embroidery.
