Három pólus : Magyarország, Utódállamok, Nyugat MIKES INTERNATIONAL A TANULMÁNYI NAPOK TÉMÁJA ÉS MŰSORA Napjainkban tanúi lehetünk a magyar irodalom és kultúra nemzetközi reneszánszának, szerte az egész világon. A magyar irodalom a magyar lélek tükre. Klasszikusaink és kortárs íróink a jelek szerint tartósan betörtek az eddig szinte elzártnak min ősíthet ő piacokra. A hagyományosan magyar nyelv ű és témájú irodalom mellett létrejött és növekv őben van egy olyan irodalom, amely nem szükségszer űen magyar nyelv ű és gyakran egy elképzelt magyar világ témáira épül. Ezek a jelenségek jelzik a mai magyar irodalom új jellegzetességét: a sokszín űséget és nemegyszer a más kultúrákra gyakorolt megtermékenyít ő hatását is. Ugyanakkor tudatában vagyunk annak, hogy az utódállamokban a magyar irodalom létszükséglet. Az utódállamok irodalma külön kultúr-egészet jelent . Értékeket termel ki, amelyek az egyetemes magyar kultúra részét képezik s melyek egyben gyakran túlmutatnak a magyar kultúrvilág határain. E tények tükrében felmerül a magyar irodalom és általában a magyar kultúrvilág határai újrafogalmazásának igénye. Mindezt a 20. század magyar történelme is szükségszer űvé teszi. A 20. század elejéig többé-kevésbé egységes magyar irodalom — ismert történelmi események következtében szociológiai szükségszer űségként — hárompólusúvá vált. A trianoni Magyarország írótársadalmára alapvet ően két tényez ő hatott, illetve hat: az évezredes többkultúrájú közeg elt űnése és az irodalmi élet 1946-ban kezd ődő és véghezvitt államosítása. Az utódállamok magyarságának irodalma a kényszer ű emigráció jegyeit viseli magán: mint minden emigráció visszavettetve önmagára, szükségszer űen keresi a saját egzisztenciális központi jelentéseit és értékeit nemzetközi viszonyulásokban. Hasonló helyzetben van a nyugati

  • Biopoetics in 20Th and 21St Century Hungarian Literature Research Plan I. Biopolitics and Biopoetics: Some Preliminary Remarks O
    Biopoetics in 20th and 21st Century Hungarian Literature Research Plan I. Biopolitics and Biopoetics: Some Preliminary Remarks Over the past few decades, competing concepts and tropes of life have displayed a striking vivacity in the discourses of the human and social sciences. This still fairly recent development (no doubt partially fueled by unprecedented developments in biotechnologies) reflects the historical fact that the very meaning, the limits, and the unity of life, as well as the distinctions between life and non-life have become problematic to a great extent. In response to these often anxiety-inducing transformations that unfolded in the wake of the historical and political catastrophes of the 20th century, since the 1990s the terms “biopower” and “biopolitics” have emerged as two of the central categories used by the theoretical humanities to interpret the specificity of our historical present (for a concise overview of the most influential theories of biopower, see Lemke 2011). Today, the wide-ranging consensus that reigns across a number of sub-disciplines holds that, in the end, what is unique about our age will come to light only if we understand our changing relations to “life” itself. The heuristic value of the two terms “biopower” and “biopolitics” lies in the fact that they provide total explanations of virtually all aspects of human existence. If the inherent teleology of the history of power puts it on a path toward an ever more efficient management of life (be that human or non-human), in the end practically all manifestations of human praxis will have to be understood in biopolitical terms.

  • Dictatorship, Infantilisation, and the Focalization of a Child: Zsuzsa Rakovszky's a Hullócsillag Éve (The Year of the Falli
    HStud 27 (2013)2, 325–342 DOI: 10.1556/HStud.27.2013.2.9 DICTATORSHIP, INFANTILISATION, AND THE FOCALIZATION OF A CHILD: ZSUZSA RAKOVSZKY’S A HULLÓCSILLAG ÉVE (THE YEAR OF THE FALLING STAR) AND FERENC BARNÁS’ KILENCEDIK (THE NINTH) EDIT ZSADÁNYI University of Groningen, The Netherlands E-mail: [email protected] In my paper, I call attention to a literary trend of contemporary Hungarian prose fic- tion, in which the communist past is narrated from a child’s point of view. I will con- centrate on the relation among the focalization of the narrative through the eyes of a child, the theme of dictatorship, and present-tense narration. I will relate my ap- proach to Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s ideas on the problem of representing disempowered people, in other words, representing the subaltern. I take the narra- tion of a child situated in a fictional dictatorial time as a special case of giving voice to the subaltern. In the first part of my paper I will address the theoretical and narratological problem of giving voice and understanding the subordinated figures. The second part consists of the analysis of the novels by Zsuzsa Rakovszky and Ferenc Barnás. I will argue that the communist past is a counterfeit referent since it is narrated by an unreliable child narrator. The object of representation is not the his- torical past but it is itself the perspective of the child through which we come to un- derstand a hidden pattern of dictatorship: infantilization. Keywords: focalization of a child, subaltern studies, unreliable narration, dictator- ship, communism Fictional narratives of the last decade have often emphasized that history is (pre)written in our body and our mind.

  • Old and New Positions in the Appearance of Hungarian Culture in Germany: 1989-2009 András Masát
    Old and New Positions in the Appearance of Hungarian Culture in Germany: 1989-2009 András Masát he literature of a variety of areas, from foreign policy to the humanities, has of- fered a growing volume of materials about the so-called cultural turn, i.e., the Tcontinuous expansion and possible roles of culture. This paper will therefore not address general aspects of the multifarious opportunities inherent in foreign rela- tions; rather I attempt to provide a specific overview of the past twenty years. By way of introduction, two statements should be made: – Shaping and influencing the externally directed cultural strategy as well as bicul- tural and multicultural dialogues as the ever changing forms of interculturality has increasingly become an integral part of foreign policy and an indispensable component of the country image; – Even if a distinction is made between “domestic” culture (cultural policy) and external cultural strategy directed to other countries the two lines are inseparable and one does not exist without the other. Having stated these preliminaries, in what follows this paper specifically explores Hungarian-German cultural relations. I attempt to give an overview of the positions in Germany of the Hungarian culture which groups the cultural projects of the past twenty years around two major events and as such, it will naturally be incomplete and subjective; nevertheless, I hope it can serve as a starting point for drawing more general conclusions. 1989: The fall of communism – change of paradigm. Challenges and opportunities When the Berlin wall was pulled down twenty years ago the side-by-side existence of the two German states came to an end.

I will con- centrate on the relation among the focalization of the narrative through the eyes of a child, the theme of dictatorship, and present-tense narration. I will relate my ap- proach to Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s ideas on the problem of representing disempowered people, in other words, representing the subaltern. I take the narra- tion of a child situated in a fictional dictatorial time as a special case of giving voice to the subaltern. In the first part of my paper I will address the theoretical and narratological problem of giving voice and understanding the subordinated figures. The second part consists of the analysis of the novels by Zsuzsa Rakovszky and Ferenc Barnás. I will argue that the communist past is a counterfeit referent since it is narrated by an unreliable child narrator. The object of representation is not the his- torical past but it is itself the perspective of the child through which we come to un- derstand a hidden pattern of dictatorship: infantilization. Keywords: focalization of a child, subaltern studies, unreliable narration, dictator- ship, communism Fictional narratives of the last decade have often emphasized that history is (pre)written in our body and our mind.
