This volume undertakes a comprehensive examination of issues of translation, adaptation, and intertextuality in Hungarian popular music. Focusing on the period of state socialism, the authors provide various examples of how musicians ¿ professionals and amateurs alike ¿ borrowed songs from distant times and places, reinventing them in a new political, technological, and esthetic environment. The case studies deal with a wide range of genresand styles that played an important role in Hungary, such as operetta, protest song, folk, jazz, pop, and rock. Placing the Hungarian experience in a regional context, the collection also gives insight into the music scenes of the neighboring countries through a major comparative study on the Beatles adaptations in the Eastern Bloc.

In The World Goes On, a narrator first speaks directly, then narrates a number of unforgettable stories, and then bids farewell ("here I would leave this earth and these stars, because I would take nothing with me"). As László Krasznahorkai himself explains: "Each text is about drawing our attention away from this world, speeding our body toward annihilation, and immersing ourselves in a current of thought or a narrative..." A Hungarian interpreter obsessed with waterfalls, at the edge of the abyss in his own mind, wanders the chaotic streets of Shanghai. A traveler, reeling from the sights and sounds of Varanasi, India, encounters a giant of a man on the banks of the Ganges ranting on and on about the nature of a single drop of water. A child laborer in a Portuguese marble quarry wanders off from work one day into a surreal realm utterly alien from his daily toils. "The excitement of his writing," Adam Thirlwell proclaimed in The New York Review of Books, "is that he has come up with his own original forms-there is nothing else like it in contemporary literature."

While in the 16-17th centuries about the two thirds of the Hungarians belonged to the Reformed Church, the presence of the "spirit of capitalism" and the "protestant ethic" is rather questionable. The Calvinists did not played a different or decisive role in the capitalisation process of Hungary at the end of the 19th century. The historical analysis focuses on the puritan doctrines can be foun in the religiosity of Hungarian puritans and Reformed people in the 17th century. The "Hungarian Protestant ethic" differs from Weber's ideal-type in two respects: the Hungarian version is more pietistic, less activist; and it seems to have less practical influence in everyday life because of the weak religiosity. The Hungarian case does not refute Weber's thesis, but it call the attention to two important parts of historical analysis: the reinterpreting, selecting procedure in social context; and the intensity of religiosity.

The Communist Party dictatorships in Hungary and East Germany sought to win over the "e;masses"e; with promises of providing for ever-increasing levels of consumption. This policy-successful at the outset-in the long-term proved to be detrimental for the regimes because it shifted working class political consciousness to the right while it effectively excluded leftist alternatives from the public sphere. This book argues that this policy can provide the key to understanding of the collapse of the regimes. It examines the case studies of two large factories, Carl Zeiss Jena (East Germany) and Rba in GyA r (Hungary), and demonstrates how the study of the formation of the relationship between the workers' state and the industrial working class can offer illuminating insights into the important issue of the legitimacy (and its eventual loss) of Communist regimes.

When Ella Szabó fled her homeland during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, she never dreamed that someday she would become a member of the US Olympic swimming team, an accomplished baker in America, and the author of a cookbook about Hungarian desserts. But a chance encounter with a fellow Hungarian in Connecticut led to Ella's becoming the custodian of a collection of heirloom recipes that form the core of this book. More than fifty recipes tell you how to bake Hungarian tortes, cookies, pastries, and cakes, from elegant old-world pastry-shop classics like Linzer Torte and Esterhazy Torte to easy homestyle desserts, many of them from recipes that have never been published before. Try your hand at delicate nut-flour tortes made from walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts: Almond Meringue Torte with Coffee-Cream Filling, Walnut Wedding Torte with Hazelnut Filling, and Chocolate Roulade with Hazelnut Cream. Enjoy easy-to-make Hungarian Almond Biscotti, Orange Kugelhopf, and Cherry Sponge Cake. And delight in devouring Walnut-Apricot-Lemon Bars, traditional Hungarian Cheese Biscuits, and Beigli, a festive Hungarian pastry roll filled with walnuts or poppy seeds, always eaten at Christmas. You'll also find a complete section on ingredients, equipment, and techniques, as well as several historical and contemporary photographs. And a bonus: most of the recipes for nut-flour tortes are naturally gluten-free.

Volume II delves into the revolutions of France, Europe, and Haiti, with particular focus on the French Revolution and the changes it wrought. The demarcation between property and power, and the changes in family life, religious practices, and socio-economic relations are explored, as well as the preoccupation with violence and terror, both of which were conspicuous aspects of the revolution. Simultaneous movements in England, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, and Poland-Lithuania are also discussed. The volume ends with the Haitian Revolution and its impact on neighboring countries, revealing how the revolution was comprised of several smaller revolutions, and how, once the independent black State of Haiti was established, an effort was made to fulfill the promises of freedom and equality.

Mit Blick auf die aktuellen Entwicklungen der ungarischen Politik präsentiert die Publikation, die begleitend zur gleichnamigen Ausstellung im Emil Schumacher Museum in Hagen erscheint, zwei Künstler, die sich mit der ungarischen Gesellschaft aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven kritisch beschäftigen. Csaba Nemes (*1966) widmet sich Themen wie der Flüchtlingskrise, dem Rassismus gegenüber der Roma-Gemeinschaft und der Erinnerung an die kommunistische Vergangenheit Ungarns. In seinen Bildern finden sich Außenräume wie Landschaften, Häuser und öffentliche Orte. Dia Zékány (*1987) dokumentiert überfüllte, chaotische Innenräume ¿ repräsentativ für die Realität kleinbürgerlicher Familien.In der Gegenüberstellung geben die zwei zeitgenössischen Positionen exemplarisch und schlaglichtartig Einblick in ein Land, dessen komplexe Geschichte und Gegenwart. Die Publikation wirft somit einen Blick von außen auf Bilder, die sich aus der Innensicht des Landes erklären.

Der politische Umbruch im Donau-Karpatenraum am Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts erweist sich als tiefe Zäsur. Schrittweise verändern sich die Rahmenbedingungen, die im Laufe des 18. Jahrhunderts in der Stadt mehr als auf dem Land zu grundlegenden Veränderungen führen. Alte Diversitäten werden von neuen abgelöst oder konkurriert, was sich bei der Privatsphäre ebenso erkennen lässt wie im öffentlichen Raum. Obwohl in jener Periode die ¿Europäisierung" voranschreitet, kommt der besagte Schauplatz dennoch nicht aus der Peripherie des allgemeinen Wandels heraus.

I en jernlunge på Blegdamshospitalet ligger en ung, poliosyg pige, hun er lammet og afhængig af maskinen, som hjælper hende med at trække vejret. På et børnehjemt i en skov uden for Budapest vokser et navnløst barn op og får kaldenavnet Dreng, men Dreng er ikke som de andre. Fanget i hver sin ensomhed længes de to unge mennesker efter kærlighed og frihed, og på tværs af tid og rum opstår et gådefuldt og ubrydeligt bånd imellem dem."Jernlungen" er en roman med historiske og fantastiske elementer; en original og gribende fortælling om køn og krop, kærlighed og frigørelse og om retten til at leve livet, som man selv vil - og som den, man er. Den ene del af handlingen foregår i København i 1950'erne, mens den anden del udspiller sig uden for Budapest i årene 1913–1917.

The impact of the passage of war refugees on the lives and minds of local residents and officials is the subject of this study. Between 2017 and 2020, Beatrix Futak-Campbell conducted interviews with over fifty people who live and work near the Hungarian-Serbian border. This area was exposed to the unprecedented stream of refugees, most of them seeking safety from the Syrian civil war. The Hungarian government's hostility to migrants has been widely criticized, and news coverage has tended to reiterate unhelpful characterisations of Hungarian citizens as being anti-migrant, anti-Muslim and racist. The situation is, however, more nuanced. There is a substantial difference between the border police, local communities, and organizations, on the one hand, and national politicians and the international media perception of the refugee 'crisis', on the other. Those living and working with migrants at the border were caught between the domestic political situation, the plight of the refugees and the international support the latter receive, and the exigencies of their own livelihoods. This book explores these communities and their own security concerns.

It is necessary for every discipline to take Stock of its own current state every 20-30 years. Such review helps determine the discipline's path and tasks for the coming decades, and it also facilitates reflection upon the changes and challenges of the scientific and non-scientific world around it. For this purpose, the Ethnography Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences organized a Series of Conferences between 2018 and 2020 on the current situation and future of ethnography, the proceedings of which are included in this volume. The volume addresses a wide range of readers - inside and outside the discipline - by providing the institutions and researchers of this discipline with reference points for further investigations, and by providing members of the public with authentic information about current and future research carried out with the purpose of exploring and preserving cultural heritage.

This volume investigates the underexplored Modern-Orthodox Jewish community that felt part of the Hungarian nation, was rooted in the land, contributed greatly to its well-being but was ultimately rejected. The narrative traces the journey of these "patriots without a homeland" from Emancipation to the Holocaust.

Als Region weist das Banat zahlreiche Eigenheiten auf, die auf seine spezifische geografische Lage, der multi- und interkulturellen Prägung seiner Struktur und der kulturellen Vielfalt seiner Menschen zurückzuführen sind. Der Band lädt ein, sich mit den Eigenheiten der lokalen und regionalen Verwaltung im Banat vertraut zu machen. Er legt den Fokus auf die Entwicklung der spezifischen Kultur, thematisiert das Einwirken von Ideologien, stellt einzelne Persönlichkeiten heraus und analysiert wichtige Gemeinschaftsinstitutionen. Das wichtigste Ziel der Beiträger/-innen und des Herausgebers ist es, die Bewohner/-innen des Banats selbst sichtbar werden zu lassen, ihre historischen Erfahrungen zu reflektieren, ihre Mentalitäten zu beschreiben und den Wandel ihrer Einstellungsmuster im Zeitverlauf darzustellen. Im vorliegenden Band geht es um weit mehr als um die Abfolge von geschichtlichen Ereignissen oder eine Aufzählung von Fakten. Durch seine interdisziplinäre Herangehensweise werden Grenzen der traditionellen Geschichtsschreibung überschritten. Victor Neumann ersetzt den üblichen politisch motivierten Schreibstil durch eine liberale und offene Erzählweise, die nicht nur grenzüberschreitend ist, sondern auch viele Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten eröffnet.

Peter Zilahy's The Last Window-Giraffe takes its title from the fact that the first and last letters of the Hungarian alphabet match the first letters for the words "window" and "giraffe." This genre-defying book, originally written in Hungarian, has been translated into twenty-two languages and is often cited as one of the inspirations for the Orange Revolution in the Ukraine. On the surface, this autobiographical fiction rendered by Zilahy's incisive x-ray vision--a heady mix of history, memoir, and farce of the highest order--is about the protests in Belgrade in 1996. But viewed through a wider lens it serves up the absurdity of all manner of authoritarianism that resonates as much today as it first did upon publication in 1999.

Für Ungarn und seine Nebenländer als der östliche Teil der Habsburgermonarchie eröffnete sich nach der Beseitigung der Herrschaft der Osmanen aus dem mittleren Donauraum (1699, 1718) die Chance zu einer Neuentwicklung. Die einsetzenden dynamischen Prozesse im Donau-Karpatenraum spiegeln sich nicht nur im Wandel der Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Kultur wieder, sondern führen auch vor Augen, wie schrittweise westliche Vorbilder und Vorgaben Platz greifen konnten. Der Sammelband geht an exemplarischen Fällen diesem Vorgang nach, der sich über etliche Generationen hingezogen hat. Die Schauplätze beziehen Regionen und Orte des heutigen Rumänien, Serbien, Slowenien und Ungarn ein. Die dabei jeweils beleuchteten Gruppen und die Akteure, die zu Wort kommen, verleihen diesen Prozessen ein "Gesicht".

The dramatic story of Budapest, a city on the fault line between East and West in the heart of Europe.

Dániel Mikecz addresses in this study the tensions between oppositional civil society and party-political actors. As successive elections demonstrate the increasing confidence of the illiberal regime of Viktor Orbán, left and liberal parties of the opposition have faced a prolonged crisis in credibility. At the same time, the civil society has not been immobile, and bottom-up initiatives, social and political movements, and non-governmental organizations have gained momentum in the public sphere. The ruling power is also active in the extra-parliamentary political arena. Through national consultations, Peace Marches, and other means, Orbán's governing Fidesz party has mobilized voters outside of election campaigns and has implemented a so-called movement governance. The study offers a vivid examination of this top-down or astroturf mobilization of the regime. Mikecz identifies the different patterns of activism and creates a coherent typology. He describes in detail each kind of activism based on opinion surveys, protest surveys and content analysis. The categorization and comprehensive exploration of civil movements provide a deep understanding of the mechanisms of illiberal postcommunist regimes.

This book breaks new ground by studying the underutilised archaeological material for the Christianisation of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary; it draws on the archaeological record relating to the Christianisation of the commoners - rural churches and field cemeteries - and more precisely (digital) archaeological archival data.

"In The Door, in Iza's Ballad, and in Abigail, Magda Szabâo describes the complex relationships between women of different ages and backgrounds with an astute and unsparing eye. Eszter, the narrator and protagonist of The Fawn, may well be Szabâo's most fascinating creation. Eszter, an only child, her father an eccentric aristocrat and steeply downwardly mobile flower breeder, her mother a harried music teacher failing to make ends meet, grows up poor and painfully aware of it in a provincial Hungarian town. This is before World War II, and Eszter, as she tells her story of childhood loneliness and hunger, has forgotten no slight and forgiven nobody, least of all her beautiful classmate Angela, whose unforced kindness to her left the deepest wound. And yet Eszter, post-war-which is when she has come to remember all these things-is a star of the stage, now settled in Budapest, where Angela, a devout Communist married to an esteemed scholar and translator of Shakespeare, also lives. The Fawn unfolds as Eszter's confession, filled with the rage of a lifetime and born, we come to sense, of irreversible regret. It is a tale of childhood, of the theater, of the collateral damage of the riven twentieth century, of hatred, and, in the end, a tragic tale of love"--
