Zene és ember
Háromrészesre tervezett munkánkban Maróthy János zenetörténész, zeneesztéta (1925–2001) tudományos pályafutását és utópizmusának alakváltozásait vizsgáljuk. Maróthy a 20. század második felének egyik legjelentősebb magyar zenekutatója volt, akinek műve és szellemi profilja a kelet-közép-európai szocializmussal fonódott össze, így elválaszthatatlan annak súlyos ellentmondásokkal terhelt történetétől, képzelt vagy valóságos társadalompolitikai lehe…
Utopianism, activism and networks
This article explores the relationships between utopianism, activism and networks in the early career of the Hungarian musicologist János Maróthy (1925-2001). A prolific author of pioneering work on the social history of European peasant and urban folk songs from the antiquity to the modern era, Maróthy is noteworthy for establishing academic research of popular music in Hungary, both preceding and contributing to the emergence of new musicology …
Post-communist Nostalgia
Although the end of the Cold War was greeted with great enthusiasm by people in the East and the West, the ensuing social and especially economic changes did not always result in the hoped-for improvements in people’s lives. This led to widespread disillusionment that can be observed today all across Eastern Europe. Not simply a longing for security, stability, and prosperity, this nostalgia is also a sense of loss regarding a specific form of so…

But he has nothing on at all!' Underground videos targeting Viktor Orbán, Hungary's celebrity politician
This article argues that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has established a monarch-like celebrity status and exploited it to systematically dismantle the checks and balances of democratic polity. Drawing on nationalist mythology, local traditions of personality cult, and media techniques to personalise the politics, Orbán has fashioned himself as Hungary’s crownless king. In the absence of effective political contestation, a significant poc…
Let's Turn Hegel from His Head onto His Feet
This paper focuses on some salient features of the Hungarian "long sixties" through the rear-view mirror of a highly-acclaimed popular musical album by Tamas Cseh and Geza Beremenyi entitled "A Letter to My Sister" (1977). The article argues that the "Letter" owes its enduring success to its unique chronological and narrative arch: the years of childhood set in the sombrest Stalinist 1950s, while the opening up of the country's political and cult…

Some institutional aspects of pop and rock in Hungary
I think that no one really wants pop music to become art because it is enough as entertainment, and if it were just a bit better, one could not look at it with an indulgent smile...' In this bitter way János Bródy, a member of the once legendary beat group, Illés, formulated his opinion about the institutions responsible for the production, function, reception and, last but not least, the quality of pop (rock, beat) music, that is to say, the mus…
