Hungarian ethnographic research traditionally focuses on the 18th to 20th centuries, for which better sources are available. This volume, by University of Pécs lecturer Gábor Máté, is unusual in this respect, since its subject and setting are events that took place during the War of Reconquest (1683–1699). The decisive defeat of the Ottomans in the Battle of Vienna (in 1683) paved the way for liberation from the Ottoman occupation, the precondition for which was the retaking of Buda. At the time of the first, unsuccessful siege of the former capital of the Kingdom of Hungary (July–November 1684), troops from the Christian border fortresses along Lake Balaton systematically attacked Southern Transdanubia, which was then in the hands of the Ottomans. However, the offensives against the region, which was known at the time as Somogyság, were not so much military operations aimed at weakening Ottoman rule as spontaneous raids by soldiers from the Hungarian border fortresses, who took advantage of the chaotic situation to procure loot.

In this work we contend that studying dance syntax systematically is essential to gain a deeper understanding of dance practices. The reason is that syntax has to do with an essential aspect of dance, music and action in general, namely possibility. To the best of our knowledge, the efforts towards a systematic method to study dance syntax are scarce. Therefore, this work proposes the method of Finite-State Automata, borrowed from computer science, and presents three case studies of progressive complexity were the method is applied: (1) learning the basics of salsa, (2) diachronically comparing hip-pushing action in Afro-Ecuadorian Bomba del Chota, and (3) characterizing improvisation in Afro-Peruvian zapateo. While the first case is didactic and introduces the method progressively, the second and third cases are based on several years of fieldwork conducted by the authors with the Afro-Ecuadorian and Afro-Peruvian communities. The precondition for the application of the method we propose is structural analysis itself; that is, that the dance can be analyzed into small movement units that are combined progressively into more complex units. In regards to syntax, however, structural analysis is only the first step. The goal is a synthesis that brings forward the possibilities that arise from structural analysis; that is, the possibilities that are available to dancers and agents in a dance event. We trust that the approach to syntax this work presents will stimulate a renewed interest for researchers in dance, music and movement in general.
在这项工作中,我们认为系统地研究舞蹈语法对于深入了解舞蹈实践至关重要。原因是句法与舞蹈、音乐和动作的一个基本方面有关,即可能性。据我们所知,对舞蹈句法进行系统研究的努力很少。因此,本研究借鉴计算机科学,提出了有限状态自动机的方法,并提出了三个渐进式复杂性的案例研究:(1)学习萨尔萨舞的基础知识,(2)比较非裔厄瓜多尔人Bomba del Chota的臀部推动动作的历时性,以及(3)非洲裔秘鲁人zapateo的即兴表演特征。虽然第一个案例是说教式的,并逐步介绍了该方法,但第二个和第三个案例是基于作者在非洲裔厄瓜多尔人和非洲裔秘鲁人社区进行的几年实地调查。我们提出的方法应用的前提是结构分析本身;也就是说,舞蹈可以分析成小的运动单元,这些运动单元逐渐组合成更复杂的单元。然而,在语法方面,结构分析只是第一步。我们的目标是一个综合,提出从结构分析中产生的可能性;也就是说,在一个舞蹈活动中,舞者和经纪人可以获得的可能性。我们相信,这项工作提出的语法方法将激发研究人员对舞蹈、音乐和运动的新兴趣。

Abstract The self-definitions of today's folk artists, as well as the concept(s) of folk art of official umbrella and quality assurance organizations, are rooted in complex, interrelated processes. In my study, I focus on the post-World War II concept of folk art, which is full of contradictions, but, despite all protests, has had an undeniable impact on the folk art of today. The system of applied folk arts paradoxically fostered the prominence of individual creators, in contrast to the communication of its novel cooperatives in the decades after World War II, which emphasized communal work. These creators – often possessing truly authentic folk art knowledge (some having gained their reputation before World War II) but no longer following the peasant way of life – were depicted by the media in rural or bucolic genre situations, thereby heavily aestheticizing the concepts of folk and folk art . At the same time, socialist cultural policy also emphasized their status as artists and creators, making them key figures in the cooperatives' work for decades as lead designers, prompting them to revitalize their local motif stock. At this point, another paradox of the Applied Folk Arts Council's perspective emerges, as the representation of the folk art of emblematic regions can increasingly be seen as the representation of the style of an individual (lead designer or charismatic artist). In my opinion, considering the 19th-century roots of the process, the definition of today's folk artists' products as unique works of art and the profound respect for design skills is rooted in this perspective that focuses on the work of iconic personalities, as I also point out in my case study analyzing Tiszafüred pottery through the work of several generations, a style that was adapted by Sándor Kántor and became known as Karcag pottery.
