This study will use rhetorical criticism to analyze eleven Hungarian animation films and four TV shows from the Soviet-era to discover how Hungarian animation in this period utilized folktales to criticize the government. The Thompson Motif Index will be used as a point of comparison. Results from the study show that multiple animation films utilized folktale elements to criticize the government, leaving it open for further study to explore other ideologies that may be reflected in Hungarian animation in the Soviet-era.

The texts of Zsuzsa Bánk (being born in Germany to Hungarian parents, so growing up bilingually, writing in German and having at least one character with a Hungarian background performing in each of her works) explore affiliations. This is perhaps best seen in the volume of stories The Hottest Summer. With the present contribution, it was my aim to examine spatial concepts in this volume as concepts of belonging.

The present paper provides an overview of the ways in which Hungarian language issues in Slovakia have been handled from the 1990s to the present, discussing language cultivation, language planning and language management, and summarizing, on the basis of contemporary articles and studies, how the theoretical principles of these directions of research are implemented in the Slovakia Hungarian practices of handling language issues, and, on the other hand, how practical actions of problem handling contribute to theoretical frameworks of shaping language. These results are viewed in their historical contexts throughout the paper, and, at the end, the continuation of earlier processes is also traced in today’s linguistic research.

What do Dezső Kosztolányi and Jorge Luis Borges have in a common ? There are both short stories’ writers and translators who wrote essays on the art of the translation. Moreover they tried to put the problems of translation into fictions. We propose first to study the different translation theories of these two authors. The second point concerns the analysis of two short stories: “Gallus” from Kosztolányi’s Kornél Esti cycle and “El enigma de Edward Fitzgerald” from Borges’ complete works because Gallus and Fitzgerald, the main characters, are translators; in fact, the thought of translation is not only present in the theory, but could be elaborated through fictional texts.
dezssergeKosztolányi和Jorge Luis Borges有什么共同之处?有短篇小说的作者，也有译者，他们都写过关于翻译艺术的文章。此外，他们还试图把翻译的问题写进小说。我们建议首先研究两位作者不同的翻译理论。第二点是对两个短篇小说的分析:Kosztolányi的korn - Esti循环中的《加卢斯》和博尔赫斯全集中的《爱德华·菲茨杰拉德之谜》，因为加卢斯和菲茨杰拉德是主要的翻译人物;事实上，翻译思想不仅存在于理论中，还可以通过虚构文本来阐述。

The phenomenon of transculturalism is capable of activating and generating meaning within various spaces, levels and layers of literature. The study discusses different levels of transculturalism through certain authors and texts in Slovakian Hungarian literature, along with transcultural authorial identity, the transcultural meaning-making machinery of texts, transcultural practices of the social context, and transcultural directions and gaps in reception. The purpose of the paper is to classify some of the transcultural phenomena we encounter and to unravel the relevant conceptual and interpretative levels.

The history of American-Hungarian relations has enjoyed renewed interest in the past thirty years. Despite this fact, there are still many uncovered or poorly documented episodes and persons concerning this academic territory. This article wishes to shed some light on one such character and period. It was in 1922 that the United States and Hungary established official diplomatic relations for the first time. Consequently the two countries exchanged ministers; thus, a long line of American ministers began to come and reside in Hungary. The very first of them was Theodore Brentano, who served five years in Budapest, between 1922 and 1927, but who seems to have disappeared from historical memory in both countries. Since 2022 marks the centenary of establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries, this article will introduce Theodore Brentano, the first American minister for Hungary and his work there. Brentano's years coincided with momentous events in Hungary in the post-Trianon era and were a time of relatively active relations between Washington and Budapest. Using primary and secondary sources alike, this article will hopefully illustrate a sorely missed part of the history of American-Hungarian history and rekindle interest in what took place a century ago.

In this article, two important newspapers of the Habsburg monarchy – the Wiener Zeitung (previously: Wien[n]erisches Diarium) and the Preßburger Zeitung – are related to each other in several aspects. After a historical overview of the context in which these periodicals were created and taking into account the research literature already available, the first step was to look for parallels in their formal design. Since both newspapers have also been digitally made accessible in full text recently, it was also possible to determine approximately how frequent direct mutual references to the other periodical occur by means of so-called distant reading procedures. Close reading methods were then used to examine and interpret the corpus-based references. This comparative approach with digital methods allows the synoptic examination of individual text passages and thus offers new insights into the complex relationship between the Wiener Zeitung and the Preßburger Zeitung in the 18th century.

In May 1928, the Andrássy Street Theatre in Budapest planned to re-stage a one-act operetta play titled The First Kiss is Mine. Its libretto was written by Jenő Heltai, and the music was composed by Albert Szirmai. The new performance started out as a resounding success. But, referring to current laws on public morality, Ministry of Interior department in charge of controlling public and cultural programmes banned the play without delay, on 18 May, and Minister of the Interior, Béla Scitovszky ordered an investigation into the matter. People referred to the event as a scandal, and the press spoke of it as an absurdity, as the theatre enterprise was endangered by the resulting loss in income. After the ban, the actors were only allowed to perform the play for a commission sent from the Ministry of Interior, and finally, on 22 May, Scitovszky permitted the program after all, with some minor changes. In my study, I reconstruct and present the events of these few days with the help of contemporary journalistic sources (reports, interviews, etc.) – Budapesti Hírlap, Esti Kurir, Magyar Hírlap, Magyarország, Pesti Hírlap, Pesti Napló, Újság, 8 Órai Újság –, the circumstances of the prohibition, the protest and opinion of the playwrights, the position of the commission, the performance for the commission, and the background of the permission for the new performance.
1928年5月，布达佩斯Andrássy街头剧院计划重新上演一出名为《初吻是我的》的独幕剧。它的剧本是由jenzoheltai写的，音乐是由Albert Szirmai作曲的。新演出一开始就大获成功。但是，根据现行的公共道德法律，负责控制公共和文化节目的内政部于5月18日立即禁止了这部剧，内政部长b la Scitovszky下令对此事进行调查。人们把这件事说成是丑闻，报界把它说成是荒唐可笑的事，因为由此造成的收入损失危及了剧院事业。在禁令之后，演员们只被允许在内政部派来的委任状下表演这部戏，最后，5月22日，西托夫斯基终于批准了这个节目，只做了一些小改动。在我的研究中，我借助当代新闻来源(报道、采访等)——布达佩斯Hírlap、埃斯蒂库里尔、马扎尔Hírlap、Magyarország、佩斯蒂Hírlap、佩斯蒂Napló、Újság、8 Órai Újság——重建并呈现了这几天的事件，以及禁令的情况、剧作家的抗议和意见、委员会的立场、委员会的演出以及新演出获得许可的背景。

The question of what are considered the causes of poverty is often neglected in the literature of this area of research. This paper analyzes the attributes of poverty in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County, Hungary, which is one of the most disadvantaged areas of the country. Research was carried out in 2011 and 2019 using the method of systematic data collection, making possible the comparison of the changing perceptions of poverty over time. The research objective is to discover whether, as is common in Eastern European countries, support for explanations which blame structural conditions is dominant in the public perception of poverty. This research has made it clear, that the poor are often considered by the public to be responsible for their own vulnerable situation. With regard to the area where the research took place there is a discrepancy between reality and the public perception of poverty and the functioning of the welfare system which is thought to be generous and which is considered to offer multiple types of public aid for a wide range of recipients.
