The organ- ization and sponsoring of the workshop, as well as the publi- cation of this work has been realized thanks to the generous support and precious scientific and technical help of the Forum Minority Research Institute. Károly Tóth, director of the Forum Institute is the first per- son to whom we turned for the organisation of the workshop. The choice was extremely positive; we thank him and all the staff of the Forum for their unlimited assistance and encour- agement towards the completion of this volume. We are grateful to Prof. Christian Giordano, Prof. Claire Wallace, Dr. Longina Jakubowska and Dr. Frances Pine who chaired the workshop sessions and enriched with their pres- ence the scientific contribution of the workshop. We are glad that the event provided to some participants an occasion to taste the local reality of a less known region in central Europe. Although the way to the completion of the book has been longer than expected, we confide that the outcome meets well all expectations. We wish to thank Sándor Bondor for his translation work on chapters 7 and 8. Chapters 3, 5, 6 and Appendix 2 and 3 have been translated by the editor, Melinda Pappová. A special thanks to Juliana Krajèírová, Patty Gray, Deema Kaneff, Frances Pine and John Eidson for their pre- cious comments and polishing of the language. Studying networks nowadays. On the utility of a notion 9 Studying networks nowadays. On the utility of a notion Christian Giordano The book Friends of Friends. Networks, Manipulators and Coalitions by Jeremy Boissevain was first published in the now distant 1974. At the time it had a widespread impact in the field of social anthropology (Anglo-Saxon and beyond) especially amongst researchers who where then interested in Europe’s peripheral regions. Resuming in a more empirically cogent way some interesting and important ideas developed by F.G. Bailey in his Stratagems and Spoils: A Social Anthropology of Politics (published in 1969) and other sub- sequent publications (Bailey 1971, 1973), in this work the author endeavoured to formulate a new approach to social analysis based upon the notion of network. If we examine the theoretic assumptions inherent to Boissevain’s project more in detail, we can detect quite a rad- ical criticism to some basic concepts that have won fame to the functionalist perspective of British anthropology and the structural-functionalist paradigm in American sociology (cf. Talcot Parsons and Robert K. Merton). More specifically, we might add that Boissevain (just as Bailey himself besides some eminent representatives of the Manchester school including Victor Turner, J. Clyde Mitchell, and John A. Barnes) at the time carried out a close examination of established and so to speak almost sacred notions as institution, struc- ture and corporate group, which in social anthropology had been popularised even by two such founding fathers as Bronislaw Malinowski and Alfred Reginald Radcliffe-Brown. Carrying out researches in the Mediterranean area (main- ly Malta and Sicily), Boissevain had become aware that these basic notions were not fully adequate for an analysis of these societies (Boissevain and Mitchell 1973). In fact, at least under two aspects these concepts were found quite wanting. 10 Christian Giordano The first point that needs to be stressed is undoubtedly their inflexibility and static nature. By working only with notions such as the above-mentioned, one always ends up considering the society as a highly integrated and lasting sys- tem, thus barring one’s chance to conceptualise mutations, tensions and conflicts within a group (Boissevain 1974: 9 fn.). On the other hand, through these analytical tools the individuals of a collective are essentially confined within an unchanging, as well as ineluctable, iron cage and can only act in conformity with the norms created by the system. However, this is clearly a myth that reduces human action to something genuinely ideal and therefore non-existent in empirical reality (Boissevain 1974: 18). Boissevain’s rebuttal to the function- alist and structural-functionalist paradigm criticises the unre- alistic abstraction by which these social sciences have described and interpreted social action in the societies they studied. At the same time, explicitly following Frederik Barth (Barth 1966: 5), he stresses the need for both a processual and pragmatic approach

    EZEK A FIATALOK. The First Hungarian Beat Movie (1967) Ádám Ignácz (Budapest) On a summer afternoon in 1967, Balatonlelle was preparing for an unusual event. Contrary to the common practice of selecting a well-known cinema of Budapest, the premiere of the new Hungarian music film, EZEK A FIATALOK [THESE YOUNGSTERS] was scheduled in the unknown open-air film theatre of this small village resort by Lake Balaton, some 140 kilometres away from the capital city. But in contradiction to the expectations, thousands of people, mostly youngsters, watched the film there during a very short period of time, and later on its popularity expanded further significantly. When the film was screened in film theatres and cultural-educational centres around the country during the following months, the estimated number of viewers hit almost a million. Even though the better part of the early articles and reviews highlighted its weak points, the sheer number of them indicated that the director Tamás Banovich (1925–2015) had found a subject of utmost interest to the entirety of Hungarian society. The extraordinary success and popularity can be explained by the mere fact that within the framework of a simple plot, EZEK A FIATALOK provided a platform for the most prominent contemporary Hungarian beat bands to present their works. In 1967, more than ten years after the first Elvis films had combined the features of popular music and motion picture, The Beatles already stopped giving concerts, and in the West people were talking about the end of the first phase of traditional beat music and were celebrating the birth of new KIELER BEITRÄGE ZUR FILMMUSIKFORSCHUNG, 12, 2016 // 219 genres in pop and rock music.

    H-Nationalism The “Majority Question” in Interwar Romania: Making Majorities from Minorities in a Heterogeneous State Discussion published by Emmanuel Dalle Mulle on Wednesday, April 22, 2020 H-Nationalism is proud to publish here the sixth post of its “Minorities in Contemporary and Historical Perspectives” series, which looks at majority- minority relations from a multi-disciplinary and diachronic angle. Today’s contribution, by R. Chris Davis (Lone Star College–Kingwood), examines the efforts of Romanian nation-builders to make Romanians during the interwar period. Heterogeneity in Interwar Romania While the situation of ethnic minorities in Romania has been examined extensively within the scholarship on the interwar period, far too little consideration is given into the making of the Romanian ethnic majority itself. My reframing of the “minority question” into its corollary, the “majority question,” in this blogpost draws on my recently published book examining the contested identity of the Moldavian Csangos, an ethnically fluid community of Romanian- and Hungarian-speaking Roman Catholics in eastern Romania.[1] While investigating this case study of a putative ethnic, linguistic, and religious minority, I was constantly reminded that not only minorities but also majorities are socially constructed, crafted from regional, religious, and linguistic bodies and identities. Transylvanians, Bessarabians, and Bănățeni (people from the Banat region) and Regațeni (inhabitants of Romania’s Old Kingdom), for example, were rendered into something

Article following the paper K. Viestová (1996) supplemented with new analysis and urban environment was substitute for rural environment. Analyzing were villages in Galanta district as selected model district. The primary methods were interview and questionnaire (n=335), realizing also by geographic information systems (GIS). Set of questions represented questions to determine places and time for shopping ordinary food goods (OFG). Some partial conclusions are that in rural environment is process of concentration not obvious and process of cooperation is only in initial phase etc. Keywords: food retail, rural environment, perceptions, Galanta 1. ÚVOD Problematika maloobchodu je v slovenskej odbornej literatúre hlboko poddimenzo- vanou témou. Literatúra zaoberajúca sa maloobchodom je zväčša ekonomického cha- rakteru (Viestová, 1996, Viestová a kol., 2004, Čihovská, 2004), avšak možno nájsť aj príspevky odborníkov z iných vedných disciplín, napr. geografických1 (Očovský, 1973, 1986, 1993, Mládek, 1994, Spišiak, 1994, Lauko, 2003, 2004, 2006, Lauko a Tolmáči, 2004, Rosič, 2004, Fertaľová 2006(a), 2006(b), Fertaľová a Klamár 2006 a i). O sloven- skom maloobchode píšu aj viacerí českí kolegovia: Z. Szczyrba (2004(a)) či J. Fertaľová a Z. Szczyrba (2005). V súčasnosti, v čase globálnych trendov a implementácie nadnárodných spoločností do slovenského maloobchodu je potrebné sledovať zmeny a dôsledky týchto trendov okrem mestského aj v rurálnom prostredí.

  • Named Entity Recognition for Search Queries in the Music Domain
    DEGREE PROJECT IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, SECOND CYCLE, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2016 Named Entity Recognition for Search Queries in the Music Domain SANDRA LILJEQVIST KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND COMMUNICATION Named Entity Recognition for Search Queries in the Music Domain SANDRA LILJEQVIST [email protected] Master’s Thesis in Computer Science School of Computer Science and Communication KTH Royal Institute of Technology Supervisor: Olov Engwall Examiner: Viggo Kann Principal: Spotify AB Stockholm - June 2016 Abstract This thesis addresses the problem of named entity recogni- tion (NER) in music-related search queries. NER is the task of identifying keywords in text and classifying them into predefined categories. Previous work in the field has mainly focused on longer documents of editorial texts. However, in recent years, the application of NER for queries has attracted increased attention. This task is, however, ac- knowledged to be challenging due to queries being short, ungrammatical and containing minimal linguistic context. The usage of NER for queries is especially useful for the implementation of natural language queries in domain- specific search applications. These applications are often backed by a database, where the query format otherwise is restricted to keyword search or the usage of a formal query language. In this thesis, two techniques for NER for music-related queries are evaluated; a conditional random field based so- lution and a probabilistic solution based on context words. As a baseline, the most elementary implementation of NER, commonly applied on editorial text, is used. Both of the evaluated approaches outperform the baseline and demon- strate an overall F1 score of 79.2% and 63.4% respectively.

Its current line-up includes eight musicians, with Henri Gonzalez, a musician of Cuban and Spanish descent, being its leader. This article considers the transnational character of Fran Palermo’s work in the context of the history of pop-rock in Hungary and Eastern Europe at large, arguing that it does not fit the prevailing narrative of Eastern European music as imitator of a Western idiom.
