Adalékok Turauskas figurájához Hevesi AndrásPárizsi eső című regényében Hevesi andrás Párizsi eső című regénye nem tartozik a széles körben ismert művek közé, egyik főszereplője, Turauskas viszont „litván szörnyetegként” bevonult a magyar iroda- lom történetébe. a korabeli kritikák is – Hevesi figyelemre méltó stílusán kívül – a litván figuráját emelik ki, mint a mű legértékesebb elemét. a nyilvánvalóan önéletrajzi ihletésű regény egy fiatal magyar ösztöndíjas egyetemista párizsi tartózkodását meséli el. az idegen környezet és új élethelyzet szembesíti saját ma- gával, olyan tulajdonságait hozza felszínre, amelyekről korábban fogalma sem volt. az eleinte magánnyal küszködő Georges megismerkedik egy Turauskas nevű, züllött életet élő litván emigránssal. Turauskas fő elfoglaltsága, hogy kifogástalanul megfogalmazott mondatokban magáról beszél („ez az én formám, én szakadatlanul, megállás nélkül val- lok... úgy vallok, ahogy más lélegzetet vesz... Ha nincs kéznél gyóntató, akkor a csatorná- nak vallok...”1), illetve filozófiai és pszichológiai kérdéseket boncolgat kávéházi társaival, más emigránsokkal. szívesen mesél szexuális kalandjairól, amelyekből kitűnik, hogy sza- dista. Georges-zsal rögtön felfigyelnek egymásra, Georges nem tud szabadulni mágikus vonzerejétől, egyszerre vonzza és taszítja a különös alak, aki némiképp saját magára em- lékezteti. Turauskas szinte lecsap a fiatalemberre, akit idősebb társként igyekszik bevezet- ni saját világába. Georges azonban visszautasítja a bohém életmódot, szinte görcsösen is- mételgetve, meggyőzni akarván magát, hogy ő jó családból való úrifiú: „rendes, kedves, tekintélytisztelő úrifiú vagyok, polgári karriert akarok befutni, arról álmodozom, hogy diplomata leszek, miért vállalom ezt a megfoghatatlan, indokolatlan sorsközösséget e szétmállott, elhullott, szemétládába való emberekkel? Talán én is a kívülmaradtak közé tartozom?”2 végül megszakítja rövid, de viharos kapcsolatukat.

  • Keynote Yanis Varoufakis What Am I Doing Here? a Political Economist and Politician. It Is Not Immediately Obvious Why I Am Spea
    1 of 7 Keynote Yanis Varoufakis What am I doing here? A political economist and politician. It is not immediately obvious why I am speaking at the Moscow Biennale for Contemporary Art 2015. Let me be more specific and self- critical about this: Economics is a very stale, uncultured discipline; students of economics are taught to think as if economic life can be fully described and understood independently from culture, art or music—somewhat like a military academy. As part of their officer training one of the things they learn is savoir-vivre, good manners. They come in handy if you are a general of the Russian, the French or the American army and your president invites you to dinner. You need to be able to know the right spoon, the right fork. But it is completely irrelevant for you doing your job properly at the battlefield. Manners are something good to have. They are additional to what is necessary in order to perform mass murder, which is what you do as a general. Similar to this, in the world of economics, culture is a good thing to have but it is completely inessential to understand how the economy works. Politicians look at culture as a venire, as a source of legitimacy. Culture serves a politician to become a minister of culture at one point in their career. It is not an essential ministry and very low down in the pecking order of the government. So if you have been a minister of finance or foreign affairs and afterwards you become the minister of culture it is considered a demotion.

The article discusses the notion of the Other as it reveals itself through the content of the Lithuanian R press media in the time period between 1926 and 1940. Articles describing the performances of the Lithuanian R ESENTATION OF “THE OF ESENTATION National Theatre are discussed. The content of these articles shows that Russian artists working in independent DU NALISM Lithuania were considered as a dangerous Other who exploits Lithuania ideologically and economically. Although such artists as Andrius Oleka-Žilinskas, Mikhail Chekhov, Vera Solovjova and others came to work in Kaunas in order to escape the Soviet regime, they were accused in Lithuania as being pro-Bolshevik and pro-Communist. The research shows that Lithuanian theatre journalists only considered Russians as dangerous to the young independent state but not Jewish or Polish artists. One can presume that Lithuania feared the communist regime R so much that it tried to avoid any collaboration, including this with artists, which could harm the development of THE ING the independent state. In spite that Russian theatre artists enriched Lithuanian National Theatre, they were forced to leave Lithuania and never come back.

I forlengelsen av dette skal vi så kaste et blikk på resten av mellomkrigs­ perioden. Baltikum-politikken ble utformet i en oppbruddstid. Vi kan derfor gå ut fra at spørsmålene som drøftes her ftkk: en videre betydning som del av grunnlaget for den "nye" norske utenrikspolitikken som ble utformet etter 1918. De siste års begivenheter i regionen gir dessuten anledning til å sammenlikne det norske reaksjonsmønster fra 1918-22 med det vi finner idag. Analysen bygger på tre saksområder, nemlig spørsmålet om skandinavisk militærhjelp til Estland og Latvia' i 1918, den skandinaviske deltakelsen i Folkeforbundets planlagte militæraksjon til Vilnius i 1920-21, og prosessen som førte frem til den diplomatiske anerkjennelsen av de tre baltiske stater 1918-1921.

ISBN 978-9955-847-65-9 Continuing its series of publications of sources Lietuvos užsienio politikos dokumentai, the Lithuanian Institute of History, together with its partners in Poland (the Polish Institute of International Relations), has issued a carefully prepared collection of documents of impressive scope, compris- ing a brief but very significant period, especially for Lithuania, of three years and three months. The book consists of an introduction, documents, an English-language summary, and an index of names. The bright red colour of the book’s cover, obviously inhibiting the depiction of the main symbols of the two states, the Vytis and the Eagle, attracts attention. Ap- parently, in this way, the compilers wanted to represent symbolically the very complicated, but rather tense Lithuanian and Polish relations in the last year of the existence of these countries, even when diplomatic rela- tions had been established between them. In preparing the collection, most work fell to the well-known researcher of Lithuania’s diplomat service Dr Algimantas Kasparavičius, and the Polish historian Dr Pawel Libera. The official opponents were: the diplomat and professor Alfonsas Eidintas, and Vilnius University docent Nerijus Šepetys (but the opponents from the Polish side are not listed). Conceptually and chronologically, the publica- tion covers the situation from March 1938, i.e. from the presentation of Poland’s ultimatum to Lithuania and the establishment of Lithuanian-Polish diplomatic relations, and the trends in their further genesis and develop- ment until June–July 1940, when the Bolshevik USSR resorted to open aggression against Lithuania, destroying its statehood.
