A Comparative Analysis of a Selection of Hungarian
A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF A SELECTION OF HUNGARIAN FOLKTALES IN ENGLISH • by ANDREA KATALIN SZILAGYI B.A., The University of Alberta, 2003 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Children's Literature) October 2007 ©Andrea Katalin Szilagyi, 2007 Abstract A significant body of Hungarian folktales in English exists, but these tales are difficult to locate, out of print, and/or excluded from international folktale anthologies. Critics have attributed this lack of prominence to linguistic isolation or to issues surrounding translation and economic challenges in today's publishing world. This thesis examines a selected body of Hungarian folktales in English. Specifically, it presents the findings of my extensive search for tales in translation and for scholarship on these tales; it offers a system of classifying and describing the selected tales and provides a comparative analysis of variants and types; and it offers an argument for anthologizing tales for a Canadian and/or Hungarian Canadian reading audience. Twenty tales (four variants within each tale category), chosen according to the selection criteria, comprise the body of primary material and are grouped according to tale categories - fairy tales, humorous tales, animal tales, anecdotes, and historical legends. In considering the variants of a selection of tale types and their particular references to Hungarian culture, this study illuminates the persistence of certain Hungarian folktales while highlighting their cultural distinctiveness. Ultimately, by creating awareness of this unique body of tales, my hope is for Canadian readers to be made aware of Hungary's culture and its folk literature, and for the tales to find their way into collections of multicultural folktales, to be released from their isolation, and to join other well-known international folktales on bookshelves around the world. -
Áron Tamási's Ábel Trilogy
International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 5, No. 4(1); April 2015 The Intercultural Communicative Habits of Noncolonizable Székely Identity: Áron Tamási’s Ábel Trilogy Dr. Erzsebet Dani University of Debrecen Hungary In the European Union of the 21st century minority versus majority issues also the minority policy of certain countries, the question of national identity, various forms of intercultural communication or its impossibility are topics more and more foregrounded—at least that is the way it should be. This is what makes perennial Ábel of Áron Tamási’s 1934 novel-trilogy1 timely again. Ábel, who has become by our days the classical Székely- Hungarian2 representative of minority strategies of identity management, is probed in various majority environments of diverse cultural make-up in the course of his adventures and never fails the test. So let us take the Ábel-trilogy in hand again and see what changes Ábel’s Székely-Hungarian identity does or does not undergo in the post-Trianon world as the story takes him from the Székely Land countryside of the Hargita-mountain pinewoods (Nature) through “the country” (of Transylvania) to America and back to Székely Land. Let us examine what it is that ensures his firmness in resisting identity colonization, what his identity reflexes are, and what role of his identity backbone plays in shaping his attitudes3—in times when (as a result of the Treaty of Trianon) his Székely-Hungarian community is subjected to the assimilative pressure exerted by hegemonic Romanian majority rule. Does intercultural communication function here in open and closed multicultural space and what forms does it assume? Is the “I” identity of the individual enough or the sustaining strength of “we” identity is indispensible too (Jan Assmann’s well-known terms)? How do the forms of cultural mimicry appear in various situations of assimilation/identity colonization in Ábel’s case? In search of possible answers I will apply some insights of Homi K. -
Hemingwaytg 2014.Indd
Examining an author’s life can inform and expand the reader’s understanding of a novel. Biographical criticism is the practice of analyzing a literary work through the lens of an author’s experience. In this lesson, explore the author’s life to understand the novel more fully. 1 Ernest Hemingway grew up in Oak Park, Illinois, one of six children. In Lesson One 1917, the year President Wilson declared war on Germany, Hemingway graduated from high school. Instead of going to college, he became a FOCUS: reporter for a small newspaper. As a journalist, Hemingway learned to write concisely, using active verbs and brief, clear paragraphs. Many young Biography men were entering the military, but Hemingway’s vision did not meet military standards. Instead, he applied to the Red Cross as an ambulance driver and, in 1918, found himself in France and then in Italy. A Farewell to Arms, published in 1929, draws on the details of his wartime injury, his friendships, and his love affairs. ?? Discussion Activities Listen to The Big Read Audio Guide. Students should take notes as they listen. Ask them to present the three most important points they learned from the Audio Guide. Distribute Reader’s Guide essays, “Introduction to the Novel,” “Ernest Hemingway, 1899- 1961,” and “Hemingway and World War I.” Divide the class into groups. Assign one essay to each group. After reading and discussing the essays, groups will present what they have learned to the class. Ask students to add creative twists to make their presentations memorable. ?? Writing Exercise Have students read Chapter I. -

Widening Horizons 2018.Pages
Widening Horizons 2018 ‘True education goes on throughout your life in many 2008-2009 SEASON different ways and places’ Beyond the Examination “Never just learn to pass exams. Learn for the sake of acquiring knowledge.” Much of what you do in class over the next few years will inevitably be focused on external examinations. But we all know there is much, much more to your education than just doing as well as you can in exams. True education goes on throughout your life in many different ways and places. Your teachers will often be able to take you way outside the exam syllabus but we want you to be able to find areas of academic interest that mean a lot to you personally and are not always restricted to the subjects you have chosen to study. This booklet is to help you think about areas that may spark off individual interests for you. They may cross subject boundaries and may help you develop areas of specialisms that you will be able to follow throughout your life, either as a professional interest or as an absorbing hobby. Take some time to read through subjects you may think you are not very interested in as well as those you are. Just because you have not chosen to follow a subject to GCSE or A Level does not mean that there will not be aspects of the subject that could absolutely fascinate you. We want you to find endless stimulation and challenge in intellectual areas. That has nothing to do with examination but everything to do with a full life. -

GUILTY NATION Or UNWILLING ALLY?
GUILTY NATION or UNWILLING ALLY? A short history of Hungary and the Danubian basin 1918-1939 By Joseph Varga Originally published in German as: Schuldige Nation oder VasalI wider Willen? Beitrage zur Zeitgeschichte Ungarns und des Donauraumes Teil 1918-1939 Published in Hungarian: Budapest, 1991 ISBN: 963 400 482 2 Veszprémi Nyomda Kft., Veszprém Translated into English and edited by: PETER CSERMELY © JOSEPH VARGA Prologue History is, first and foremost, a retelling of the past. It recounts events of former times, relates information about those events so that we may recognize the relationships between them. According to Aristoteles (Poetica, ch. IX), the historian differs from the poet only in that the former writes about events that have happened, while the latter of events that may yet happen. Modern history is mostly concerned with events of a political nature or those between countries, and on occasion with economic, social and cultural development. History must present the events in such a manner as to permit the still-living subjects to recognize them through their own memories, and permit the man of today to form an adequate picture of the events being recounted and their connections. Those persons who were mere objects in the events, or infrequently active participants, are barely able to depict objectively the events in which they participated. But is not the depiction of recent history subjective? Everyone recounts the events from their own perspective. A personal point of view does not, theoretically, exclude objectivity – only makes it relative. The measure of validity is the reliability of the narrator. The situation is entirely different with historical narratives that are written with a conscious intent to prove a point, or espouse certain interests. -

Tsvetkova a , * a Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski, Bulgaria Abstract The research problems of this study are the difficulties in the explanation of the phenomenon of reading in its accelerated transformations by quantitative sociological methods, because of failure to comply with a number of factors: first, the social aspects of the purchase, consumption and possession of reading materials have not yet been reading; second, reading is both asocial and social activity; third, the reader is not social status, social class, social group or social role. Author's hypothesis: the most accessible and authoritative audience methods for study of the reading – sociological research methods, are unable to disclose the specifics of the reader and reading, they provide limited data only on the outer side of the reading activity, for its quantitative indicators but do not reach to the knowledge about the nature and the reasons both for the reading and not reading. -

Identitásdrámák és interkulturális stratégiák a Trianon utáni székelymagyar irodalomban [Colonization of Identity in Transylvania. Dramas of Identity and Intercultural Communication in Székely- Hungarian Literature after Trianon] Pro-Print Publishing House, Miercurea-Ciuc, 2016 Review by: Katalin LAJOS Sapientia University Faculty of Economics, Socio-Human Sciences and Engineering, Miercurea-Ciuc, Department of Human Sciences [email protected] Erzsébet Dani’s volume represents an interesting approach to twelve novels written by eight Hungarian writers between the two world wars . It is interesting from more points of view . First of all, the chosen novels have some common particularities: most of them are written by “Székely”-Hungarians who were born in the eastern part of Transylvania, a region which was detached from Hungary and attached to Romania according to the terms of the Treaty of Trianon following World War I, in 1920 . The second similarity is the main topic of the chosen novels: how the characters can (or cannot) manage their identity in a new socio-political context, when a new state authority tries by all means to “integrate” them into a new national identity . Secondly, it is an interesting study due to the interdisciplinary approach to the subject: it fructifies the terminology and the conclusions of a wide range of social sciences in the interpretation of the types of identities and the strategies of the characters to manage their identity . It uses the theoretical background of the assimilation theories, the theory of colonialism-postcolonialism, various theories of identity, the theories related to the study of cultural memory, communication, and intercultural communication .
