Back in 1999 the Department organized the 3rd conference of the SIEF’s Working Group on Ethnology of Religion under the title Politics and Folk Religion.1 The narrower topic of feasts, festivals and religion has always been a focus of interest in our researches. This is also reflected in the publications of the Department. One of our series of publications is devoted to textual and vis- ual sources on religious life, another series publishes analyses, monographs and conference papers. In the 1990s and the early 2000s the Department published a large number of books on the subject of rites, rituals, customs, ceremonies, feasts, national/state/political festivals. Calendar feasts, or in a wider interpretation, the ritual year are traditional topics of the research activity of the Department. The roots of this interest go back to the early 1930s when Sándor Bálint (1904-1980), the later professor of the Department, became assistant and then Privatdocent at the Ethnographical Institute which was established some years earlier, in 1929. In the second half of the 1930s he published the first writings and books on calendar feasts. The topic remained his main field of interest in the following decades, too. Sándor Bálint’s seminal comprehensive work, Karácsony, húsvét, pünkösd [Christmas, Easter, Pentecost] and the two volumes of Ünnepi kalendárium [Feast Calendar] appeared in the 1970s. These books are considered to be his chefs- d’oeuvre. They are dazzling displays of his knowledge of ethnology, folkloristics, cultural history, ecclesiastical history, literary history, heortology, theology, litur- gical history, music history and linguistics. He places everything in a historical and Central European context and takes into consideration the Romanian, Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian, Slovakian, Czech, German and Austrian material. Karácsony, húsvét, pünkösd surveys the traditions related to the major church feasts and the liturgical and paraliturgical phenomena that infiltrated into eve- ryday life. The two volumes of Ünnepi kalendárium review the feasts of Mary and the saints in the order of the church year, month by month. These offer a rich source material of an almost forgotten world. As a result, multi-directional research on religion and festivals continues to be an important part of the department’s teaching and research activity. Over the past 20 years, through its publishing and conference activity, our department has become an important workshop of ethnology of religion, including also feasts and festivals. National feasts have also been examined. We especially studied our new national feast, 23rd October, the commemoration day of the 1956 revolution which 1 The contributions of the conference were published in a volume edited by Gábor Barna: Politics and Folk Religion. Szegedi Vallási Néprajzi Könyvtár 6. Szeged, 2001. 7 before the change of political system in 1990 was an alternative but prohibited feast. At first glance politics and culture are two different spheres of human culture. However, if we make a deeper analysis several intersections emerge. Feasts in particular can express political, cultural, religious or ideological contents with individual and communal variants, thus they often use symbolic forms. Both the system and the content of feasts change from time to time, manipulated by political ideologies. Feasts as extraordinary time offer a possibility for the con- nection of high and low tradition, the accommodation of elements of folklore and/or popular culture and their association with local or high politics. Therefore politics and political regimes always want to control the world of feasts, have a special feast-policy and may have different attitudes toward feasts. The concept of (folk) culture played a diverse role in the historical development of national/ patriotic, religious/church, and regionalist movements as well as in processes of community-, nation- and region-building directed by the society/state. In recent decades the intersection between politics and (folk) culture greatly intensified, creating a strong emphasis on the political aspects of the appro- priation of the elements of folklore, stressing its contemporary uses by cultural activists and policy makers, and by national, regional and ethnic movements. All these aspects and transformations can be best analysed on the basis of ritu- als, the changes in the structure, function, and symbolic meaning of folk/political and newly invented rituals. That is why we held the conference on the biggest

Abstract The relationship between magyarization and Hungarian civil society during the reform era of Hungarian history (1790-1848) is the subject of this dissertation. This thesis examines the cultural and political activities of three liberal oppositional nobles: András Fáy (1786-1864), István Bezerédj (1796-1856) and Ödön Beöthy (1796-1854). These three men were chosen as the basis of this study because of their commitment to a two- pronged approach to politics: they advocated greater cultural magyarization in the multiethnic Hungarian Kingdom and campaigned to extend the protection of the Hungarian constitution to segments of the non-aristocratic portion of the Hungarian population.

  • Volume 24 1997 Issue 73
    Review of African Political Economy No.73:307-310 © ROAPE Publications Ltd., 1997 ISSN 0305-6244; RIX #7301 Commentary Ray Bush & Morris Szeftel This issue continues the critical evaluation of aspects of Africa's economic and political crisis offered in previous editions of the ROAPE Review of Books in the hope of an effective alternative to prevailing notions. In the present conjuncture, the dominant forces of global capitalism restrict the policy agenda with regard to arresting economic decline, ethnic conflict and state disintegration. Structural adjustment (imposing externally-regulated liberalisation) and liberal democratic political reform (largely confined to electoral competition among a small elite and the sponsorship of civil society) have been the only games in town. The evidence is everywhere that this narrow agenda is inadequate for the task. Its apologists defend it, not by pointing to their successes or their intellectual coherence and elegance, but by reiterating that there are no alternatives. Hence the need to encourage the widest range of critical contributions in that hope that, from them, alternatives will begin to emerge. The need for a new agenda is manifest. Economic restructuring, after 25 years of failure and despite the continuing brutality of its social impact, draws only muted criticism. Despite these failures, and notwithstanding occasional hand-wringing by the World Bank (as it accepts that mistakes have been made and launches a new slogan), Africa continues to be 'adjusted' to fit it for its station on the margins of world capitalist markets. The disappointments of democratisation are more recent and thus less fully explored. But the limitations of political pluralism as a means of promoting democratisation and overcoming the instability, ineffectiveness and corruption of post-colonial states, are already clear.

  • The Hungarian Historical Review
    Hungarian Historical Review 5, no. 1 (2016): 5–21 Martyn Rady Nonnisi in sensu legum? Decree and Rendelet in Hungary (1790–1914) The Hungarian “constitution” was never balanced, for its sovereigns possessed a supervisory jurisdiction that permitted them to legislate by decree, mainly by using patents and rescripts. Although the right to proceed by decree was seldom abused by Hungary’s Habsburg rulers, it permitted the monarch on occasion to impose reforms in defiance of the Diet. Attempts undertaken in the early 1790s to hem in the ruler’s power by making the written law both fixed and comprehensive were unsuccessful. After 1867, the right to legislate by decree was assumed by Hungary’s government, and ministerial decree or “rendelet” was used as a substitute for parliamentary legislation. Not only could rendelets be used to fill in gaps in parliamentary legislation, they could also be used to bypass parliament and even to countermand parliamentary acts, sometimes at the expense of individual rights. The tendency remains in Hungary for its governments to use discretionary administrative instruments as a substitute for parliamentary legislation. Keywords: constitution, decree, patent, rendelet, legislation, Diet, Parliament In 1792, the Transylvanian Diet opened in the assembly rooms of Kolozsvár (today Cluj, Romania) with a trio, sung by the three graces, each of whom embodied one of the three powers identified by Montesquieu as contributing to a balanced constitution.1 The Hungarian constitution, however, was never balanced. The power attached to the executive was always the greatest. Attempts to hem in the executive, however, proved unsuccessful. During the later nineteenth century, the legislature surrendered to ministers a large share of its legislative capacity, with the consequence that ministerial decree or rendelet often took the place of statute law.

The book contains political essays about people who are well known in Belarus and abroad and who had the most direct relevance to the contemporary history of Belarus over the last 15 to 20 years. The author not only recalls some biographical data but also analyses the role of each of them in the development of Belarus. And there is another very important point. The articles collected in this book were written at different times, so today some changes can be introduced to dates, facts and opinions but the author did not do this INTENTIONALLY.
