The intermittency of solar energy resources possesses a serious challenge in balancing the power generation and load demand. To enhance the consistency of the system, it is crucial to forecast solar photovoltaic power. Among numerous techniques, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is an efficient tool that may help to simplify this problem. In this study, all 63 combinations of six input parameters i.e. temperature, dew point, wind speed, cloud cover, relative humidity and pressure were applied one by one to ANN to forecast 24 hours ahead PV generation. The power forecast results were obtained based on weather forecast data of 21 days sampled from the recorded forecasted data of 180 days. To quantify the error between predicted and measured solar PV generation, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) was used and results of different input combinations were compared on basis of this statistical matrix. The analysis showed that the generation is best predicted on two combinations: the first comprising of temperature, dew point, relative humidity and cloud cover while the second consisting of all six parameters. While, some of the combinations consisting of three parameters also resulted in RMSEs in close proximity of the least error value.

The objective of this paper is to develop and assess motorized level of service models using advanced artificial intelligence techniques like functional networks, multi-gene genetic programming and multi-variate auto-regressive spline for uncontrolled intersections under mixed traffic conditions. Thirteen intersections from India are chosen and geometric, traffic and roadside environmental data are collected using high-definition cameras. An innovative Influence for Gap Acceptance (INA) method for critical gap and follow-up-time measurement is also developed. About seven thousand effective uncontrolled intersection motorized driver responses are collected based on user satisfaction scores (1=excellent to 6=awfully bad). Eight variables with high significance effects on perceived scores from Spearman’s correlation technique are modelled. The proposed functional network model showed better efficiency with volume to capacity ratio, percentage of on-street parking and service delay showing supreme effects in level of service predictions. The imperative outcomes of this research may help transport planners and traffic engineers to quantify operational evaluation of uncontrolled intersections and take crucial decisions towards their improvement.

Inhibitory Effects of Lotus Embryo Extract on Acetaminophen-induced Hepatic Injury
Authors: Watanabe Yasuo
Published: October 2021

Background: Embryo extracts of lotus seeds have been reported to suppress the harmful effects of acetaminophen (APAP), a common antipyretic agent, in the liver.

Methods and Findings: This study evaluated the effects of lotus embryo extract (lotus) on acetaminophen (APAP)-induced hepatic inflammation. Seven-week-old male ICR mice were orally administered either lotus or saline (10 mL/kg) once a day for a week. Twenty-four hours after the last day of the consequent treatment, mice were intraperitoneally injected with 200 mg/kg APAP or saline under fasting conditions. All experimental mice were anesthetized and blood samples were collected for plasma analysis 4 h after the injection. The expression levels of inflammatory cytokines in the liver were measured using real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR). The liver lobes were perfused with Mild form reagent and embedded in optimal temperature cutting (OCT) compound. Samples were sectioned at 10 µm and were stained using the TUNEL method. Pretreatment with lotus significantly decreased hepatic GOT/GPT levels, and APAP significantly increased the expression of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β). Furthermore, histological analysis showed that lotus exerted anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects.

Conclusions: We suggest that prophylactic treatment with lotus protects against APAP-induced hepatic inflammation.
Árvaság és mártírium
Authors: Fazakas Gergely Tamás
Published: October 2021

I argue that widowhood (often called “orphanage” in early modern texts) was an important metaphor of the contemporary Hungarian Calvinist Church. Several prayers, prayer books, congregational songs, jeremiads and sermons represented the martyrdom of the Church (and of the Hungarian nation as well) as a “helpless widow”, and lamented in her name. This cultural and rhetoric pattern was created and prescribed for the communities by several early modern texts, and were based on scriptural quotations from the Old Testament. (For instance: “How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!” Lamentations 1, 1) I examine this metaphor not only in late seventeenth century texts, but also in the eighteenth century, when authors could not write openly about the Calvinist Church because of the new and increased censorship of the Habsburgs and the Catholic settlers in Transylvania. The representational patterns of Calvinist women in the eighteenth century is explored in this study thorough the example of countess Kata Bethlen.
A Parisi lakodalom (1572)
Authors: Oláh Róbert
Published: October 2021

On the eve of the St. Bartholomew’s Day in 1572, thousands of French Huguenots were massacred in Paris. One of the victims was their leader, admiral Gaspard de Coligny (1519–1572). His martyrdom was narrated in a short story which was translated into Hungarian with the title “Wedding in Paris” by a student from Debrecen, József Pap in 1766. The manuscript is kept at the Library of the Reformed College of Debrecen. One of the sources of this document was Jacobus Augustus Thuanus’ work, Historiarum sui temporis. This study interprets the historical background of the St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre and its eighteenth-century Hungarian reception, and highlights that Coligny is shown as a Huguenot martyr in the text. The main purpose of the translator was to comfort the members of the Reformed Church and set an example for them during the period of the “bloodless counter-reformation” in eighteenth-century Hungary.
Képpé vált szöveg, szöveggé vált kép
Authors: Szegedy-Maszák Mihály
Published: October 2021

How can an image be turned into a text? This question has preoccupied artists and art experts for thousands of years. There seems to be three potential intersections of spectacle and verbal utterance. First, description has received a substantial amount of critical attention, which of course does not mean that there are no other relevant phenomena requiring further study. Second, the interrelationship of written, moulded or painted portraits also makes it worthwhile to explore the connections between portrait painting and biography. The third kind of encounter between text and image is the narrative. Is it possible at all to narrate a story in the form of image(s)? The answer is by far not as evident as certain critics argue, since a narrative does not only presuppose a plot but a narrator as well, that is, a linguistic construct. It is thus especially reasonable to speak of a pictorial narrative where the images are to represent subsequent phases of the story. The paper aims to examine these issues on the basis of relevant examples, such as texts by Virginia Woolf and Miklós Bánffy.

Die Studie befasst sich mit einem der weniger bekannten Texten von Péter Nádas, Die schöne Geschichte der Fotografie unter intertextuellen Vorzeichen: die Novelle wird in Bezug auf ihren wohl wichtigsten Intertext, auf Adalbert Stifters frühe Erzählung, Der Condor analysiert. Die vergleichende Analyse soll zeigen, wie die motivischen und narrativen Strukturen bei Nádas moduliert, neu geschrieben und problematisiert werden. Das Hauptmerkmal fällt dabei auf die Veränderungen der optischen Motivik, die bei Stifter noch durch die symbolhaften Himmelskörper, Mond bzw. Sonne gelenkt werden. Die schöne Geschichte der Fotografie übernimmt diese Symbolik, ergänzt sie jedoch mit der fotografischen Technik, sowie mit den „inneren” Bildern der vom Wahnsinn gedrohten Protagonistin – beide als potenzielle Dispositive bzw. Problematisierungen der Stifterschen Lichtmetaphorik.

Selon l’anthropologie de l’époque classique, l’être humain n’est pas seulement considéré comme „un roseau pensant”, mais également comme un corps déterminé par ses caractères physiques, notamment par ses quatre humeurs héritées de la médecine antique, parmi lesquelles le sang exprime avant tout les passions. Dans le drame de Pierre Corneille, le sang a un rôle capital dans l’interprétation : il n’est pas seulement le moyen d’exprimer les sentiments intenses des personnages, mais également l’idée centrale de la pensée philosophique de l’oeuvre. Le sang devient ainsi la métaphore de la noblesse d’épée, de la loyauté au roi, de l’héroïsme sublime et de la naissance noble, cependant, par les hypotyposes faites par les différents personnages (Diègue, Chimène, Rodrigue), le sang acquiert une position esthétique dans les images construites par le texte. La beauté et la terreur apparaissent à la fois dans l’imagination ‒ ce qui fait référence à la peinture baroque, notamment à celle de Caravage et d’Artemisia Gentileschi ‒ pour montrer ensemble l’importance du corps humain dans la compréhension de l’anthropologie détectée dans l’art de l’époque classique.
Az archívum színes árnyai – avagy a rezgés mediális archeológiája
Authors: Sándorfi Edina
Published: October 2021

„Die Symbolik verwandelt die Erscheinung in Idee, die Idee in ein Bild“. Die auf diese Weise ins Leben gerufenen Bilder bieten einen Ort für die Idee an, wo sie eher wie durch eine Passage, im Übergang. lebendig, „unendlich wirksam“, schwunghaft aber schon immer „unerreichbar“ weiterwirkt, durchscheint, ohne je transformiert zu werden, Das Bild in diesem Sinne ist das Symbol für Goethe. Die symbolischen Bilder sind also „eminente Fälle“, die in allen Sprachen unaussprechlich bleiben. Die Begriffsbilder von Kant und Newton, der beiden Antipoden Goethes, sind vielmehr Übersetzungen, Transformationen eines „intellectus ectypus“, sodass „der Begriff im Bilde immer noch begrenzt und vollständig zu halten und zu haben und an demselben auszusprechen sei“. Das Bild selbst bleibt also diskursiv, ein willkürliches Zeichen, eine Allegorie. In meinem Beitrag versuche ich den medialen Symbolbegriff Goethes zwischen dem Diskursiv–Archivarischen eines intellectus ectypus und der entoptischen Erinnerung „in einer gewissermaßen verödeten Lokalität“ eines intellectus archetypus anhand von Textauszügen Goethes zu skizzieren.

Comics is a special medium: a narrative sequence of still images, often accompanied by written text. Comics is no longer residing in the blind spot of Hungarian academic studies. Literary Studies, Art Studies and Film Studies were the first colonizers of the medium. All of them have compared comics to another medium (novel, picture, film) and concentrated mainly on their similarities and differences, instead of examining the individual characteristics of comics. They have given intermedial explanations about comics. Media Studies and Visual Studies brought a paradigm-shift in the sense that they examined comics as a freestanding medium. In my study, I give an overview of the characteristics, the working mechanisms, the complex language, and the multimedial aspects of the comics medium.
Az Érdy-kódex De tempore részének exemplumai
Authors: Bartók Zsófia Ágnes
Published: October 2021

The essay describes the different types of exempla in the De Tempore part of the Codex Érdy. The classification is based on the texts’ relations to their source. In the first place, the codex contains exempla which are very closely attached to their source, to the sermons of Pelbartus de Temesvár. Secondly, there are exempla that also follow a sermon of Pelbartus but are influenced by other traditions, too. In other cases it can be argued that the compilator of the Codex Érdy used Pelbartus but he transposed the exemplum into a different context. Finally, some of the exempla supposedly have nothing to do with the codex’s main source, that is, to Pelbartus, since they must have been taken from other unknown sources. By the comparison of the Hungarian and the Latin texts, we can understand more profoundly the methods of the anonymous compilator and we can reveal the mechanisms that affect the compilation of a Hungarian sermon of that time.
„Az igaz apostoli vallás bőkezű gyámoli”
Authors: Pesti Brigitta
Published: October 2021

Die Untersuchung beruht auf der Beobachtung, dass die Dedikationspraxis der Erbauungsliteratur des 17. Jahrhunderts in Ungarn sowohl im Kontext der gesamten ungarischen Buchproduktion, als auch in der europäischen Literatur besondere Merkmale aufweist. Dass die Unterstützung der religiösen Literatur einen festen Bestandteil der Glaubenspraxis darstellte, beweisen der Kreis der Mäzene, die rhetorische Darstellung des Mäzenatentums sowie ihre Motive und die Unterstützungsformen. Die Unterstützung der Veröffentlichung ungarischsprachiger Werke der Erbauungsliteratur (es geht dabei sowohl um Übersetzungen, als auch um auf Ungarisch verfasste Texte) hatte im 17. Jahrhundert in Ungarn unabhängig von Geschlecht, Konfession oder sozialem Stand der Patrone einen sehr hohen Stellenwert. Der Aufsatz beruht auf einer umfassenden Quellenrecherche: einbezogen werden in die Analyse  literatursoziologische und rhetorische Aspekte barocker Paratexte, ihre Rezeption durch die internationale Forschung sowie einige vergleichende Aspekte, wobei gattungsbezogene Besonderheiten der ungarischsprachiger Erbauungsliteratur sowie die Merkmale des Mäzenatentums in Ungarn hervorgehoben werden.
„Ezek a’ practikák, és módok igen nagyra böcsültetnek…”
Authors: Kónya Franciska
Published: October 2021

The seven works of Tarnóczi István (1626–1689) written on Hungarian are prayer- and meditational books. Some recent research on devotional literature is mentioning the passage between the genres in these texts: how the meditation is mixing with other kind of pious texts (prayer, catechism, etc.). This study examines the specific realization of this in the literary work of the Jesuit writer. It represents the changing mode of treatiselike, didactic texts with meditations, prayers. This paper also investigates the role of the presumed reader layer, how it influences the stylistic and rhetorical aspects of these books. The main message is usually transmitted through several chapters as a didactic treatise, which is followed by practical exercises: prayers and meditative texts formulated in first person. The scriptural references, the indications and quotations of religious and secular writers, the thesis-like parts containing expressive and colorful examples contribute to the comprehension, which is a condition for good deeds. The frequently used expression of „practicing the presence of God” is both an intellectual work and a volitional action. On one hand, the prayers formulated in first person deepened the meditation, while on the other hand through these the theological message could reach more easily the pious reader.
Gondolatok az általános és a társulati imakönyvek kapcsolatáról

Published: October 2021

In dem Aufsatz wird das Verhältnis zwischen den allgemeinen Gebetbüchern und den Andachtsbüchern von Kirchengemeinden untersucht, in dem acht Gebetbücher aus dem 18. Jahrhundert miteinander verglichen werden. Zur Analyse wurden die folgenden Bücher ausgewählt: Jó illatú rózsás kert, Officium Rákócziánum, Lelki virágos kert, Myrhából szedett lépes méz, Len-kötelecske. Von den allgemein verwendeten Gebetbüchern wurden die folgenden untersucht: Arany Korona, Lelki fegyverház és Lelki Paradicsom. Das Verhältnis zwischen den Druckschriften wird in der Abhandlung vor allem unter strukturellen und teilweise inhalts- und gattungsbezogenen Aspekten beleuchtet. Es hat im Laufe der Zeit eine gewisse Tendenz bestanden, bei der diese Sammlungen nach den Erwartungen der Leser gestaltet wurden und demzufolge die Veränderungen dieser Erwartungen ihre Spuren auch in den Sammlungen selbst hinterlassen haben. In den Gebetbüchern der einzelnen Kirchengemeinden wurden regelmäßig die eigenen Statuten sowie Informationen zum Gemeindeleben mitgeteilt. Die allgemein verwendeten Gebetbücher haben mehr Neuauflagen erlebt als die Sammlungen der einzelnen Kirchengemeinden. Einige Gebete kommen in mehreren Druckschriften vor, folglich kann es nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass diese Bücher auf den gleichen Quellen beruhen. Die Feststellungen des vorliegenden Aufsatzes können nicht als allgemeingültig angesehen werden, da sie sich nur auf die genannten acht Gebetbücher beziehen.
Johann Gerhard 18. századi hazai recepciójának néhány jellemzője
Authors: Imre Mihály
Published: October 2021

Die Meditationes Sacrae von Johann Gerhard hatten von 1616 bis 1804 zehn ungarische Übersetzungen. Die Übersetzer waren Boldizsár Zólyomi Perinna, Mihály Ács jun., Mátyás (Matthias) Bél, István Huszti Szabó, József Inczédy. Neben den Schriften von Johann Arndt war es das meistverbreitete Werk der pietistischen Erbauungsliteratur, ein „Bestseller der geistlichen Literatur”. Die Meditationes sacrae stehen in engem Zusammenhang mit den hervorragenden Autoren und Werken der Mystik. In der Forschung wurden vor allem die Zusammenhänge mit dem Wahren Christentum, mit Tauler und mit Bernhard von Clairvaux festgestellt, aber das Werk war auch eine wichtige Vorlage für die sich erneuernde Meditationsliteratur. Unter den deutschen Ausgaben des Werkes gibt es versifizierte Varianten mit Holzschnitten. In diesen Ausgaben wirkten Text und die Bilder der Embleme zusammen. Im Jahre 1745 erschien in Hermannstadt die Übersetzung von József Inczédy unter dem Titel Liliomok völgye (Tal der Lilien) mit zehn Holzschnitten. Diese Ausgabe kann als die reformierte Variante des genannten Werkes betrachtet werden. Die Themen der Meditationen folgten den Holzschnitten, in der Textgestaltung ist das anthropologische und sprachliche Instrumentarium der Mystik zu erkennen. Die Besonderheit der Übersetzung ist die gereimte Prosa, welche die Merkmale des Barocks aufweist. Die zehn Schnitte tauchen seit Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts in den reformierten Kirchen Siebenbürgens als Bilder und Holzverzierungen (Kassettendecke, Kanzel, Empore, Bänke) auf. Dadurch verwandelte sich die pietistische Meditation: sie erhielt eine visuelle und didaktische Funktion in der Kirchgemeinde.
Emlékezetvesztés az irodalomban
Authors: Kőbányai János
Published: October 2021

János Kőbányai’s paper is centred on two crucial questions. The first is if literature can be a source of history. Second, what does it tell about a nation’s collective memory if some of their historical milestones do not appear in novels? After the First World War Hungary gained back its independence, which had been lost back in the Middle Ages. However, the country lost most of its territory and population. There was also a civil war going on in the trenches, especially after 1916, mostly against Jews, who played a very crucial part in Hungarian modernity. The upheaval manifested itself in the battle between official and reservists. It is due to these socio-political factors that, despite some very sensitive and detailed works, no canonical, collectively determining and memorable novel appeared about the great war. Kőbányai highlights report literature and the hostage chronicles. Hungarian literature was rarely examined from the perspective of its migration literature, even though it was due to the revolutions following the Great War that a huge number of Hungary’s artists and intelligentsia emigrated. The most valuable works about the First World War were written in the isolation of emigration, and these are still not part of the canon.
Kiállítható-e a háború?
Authors: Lakner Lajos
Published: October 2021

This paper deals with various methods of presentation museums apply in order to make their visitors experience war. In theory, what they attempt is impossible, partly because exhibited objects become aestheticized as objects to be looked at, and partly because museums tend to stage entertaining and true-to-life exhibitions. Weapons are the most important objects displayed at war exhibitions. However, the question is whether they should be displayed after cleaning or with all traces of use. Furthermore, it is also worth considering whether or not everyday objects can tell visitors more about the need and suffering people went through. Reconstructed scenes, which aim to give visitors a nearly first-hand experience of war, are very popular. Its critics, however, argue that wars are not action movies, neither are museums adventure parks. Photographs play a special role in the exhibitions as exhibits and instruments of installation. Works of art are also significant, because they are capable of exerting a powerful influence. Finally, there are exhibitions which refrain from attractive, experience-centred presentation and display the exhibits in the simplest possible way instead, prompting visitors to create their own interpretations.
Elégiák az 1945 utáni angol költészetben
Authors: D. Rácz István
Published: October 2021

As has frequently been remarked in poetry criticism, an elegy always suggests that the poet’s own death is inconceivable. What I add is that in many cases the lost person’s death is also inconceivable or, at least, unspeakable; therefore, the poet has to turn to something speakable, meaning repeatable: a form, a motif, etc. This means that there is always something in the poem that admittedly does not belong to the author’s subjectivity. In my study I offer a survey of three British poets’ elegies from the second half of the 20th century: sequences by Douglas Dunn, Peter Porter and Thom Gunn; the former two writing to commemorate their dead wives, and Gunn writing in memory of his lost friends. As I argue, all the three poets follow in the wake of classic examples to repeat and reiterate something that belongs to tradition: Dunn is inspired by the classic dramatic monologue and gaps in medieval ballads, Porter by Henry King’s poem, and Gunn by romantic poetry. All the three can be read as self-elegies: Dunn’s poems through the motif of the wedding rings, Porter’s through the motif of the dead wife waiting for him, and Gunn’s through the image of the dream where the two friends are united. Probably all elegies can be read as self-elegies, signifying that we speak about someone else’s death because we are unable to speak of our own.
Kannibalizmus és allegória
Authors: Fagyal József Szabolcs
Published: October 2021

In Yann Martel’s Life of Pi (2001) and Carol Birch’s Jamrach’s Menagerie (2011), the violation of a taboo is not simply the centre or the climax of the story, but rather, the entire story is told exactly because of an incomprehensible and indigestible event. Both novels are contemporary representatives of nautical fiction, telling an ordeal at sea with the protagonist eventually resorting to cannibalism. The two main characters consume a best friend and a brother respectively, but as a result of their transgressive act, the representational ethics of taking a dead man’s place in order to survive organises the narrative pattern of both books. I aim to explore how the thematic element of cannibalism affects the narrative structures of these texts. Cannibalism creates a fictitious, out-of-time, liminal space around itself during the tensest scenes: the chapters recounting the tragic incident mark where the whole narrative blooms from, bearing a resemblance to the navel metaphor Sigmund Freud uses to describe the point of origin in every dream.
Ikon és intertextus
Authors: Mártonffy Marcell
Published: October 2021

In the oeuvre of Szilárd Borbély a complex system of references relates his works to the lyrical and publicist writings of János Pilinszky. Whereas Borbély’s poetry cites some canonical texts of Piliszky often in a „blasphemous” reversal, his essays and interviews keep a polemic dialogue with the Catholic poet by using theological arguments. The debate, which primarily concerns the Christian interpretation of the Holocaust, shows a shift of pivotal importance. Although Pilinszky wrote about the Holocaust as the „abyss of history”, he, however, maintained the unchanged validity of a Christological interpretation. Borbély on the contrary, highlights the antagonistic conflict between the doctrinal tradition of Christianity and the experience of history. Although he did not strive to build a new system of thought, his utterances create an original constellation of poetical, theological, historical and social scientific reflection. His attitude is not only a more radical one than that of Pilinszky, but coincides with recent theological interpretations, in which the memory of Auschwitz proves to be inseparable from the recognition of incapability of the explanatory framework of classical theodicy.
Az abúzus nyelve
Authors: Szabó Marcell
Published: October 2021

According to the reviews of Szilárd Borbély’s long poem Hosszú nap el (1993), the monotonous and repetitive characteristics of the work are based on the imitation of lingual sense-making and its unconscious processes. Most of the interpretations influenced by the ravaged and flawed side of the text have been dissolved in the varios trophes (stuttering, incantations etc) of orality and social language use that refer to the performative function of language. The analysis of the poem’s allegorical structure highlights that the identity of the speaking self is unsettled by the repetition encoded in the trophe and by a temporality which ties the birth of the subject to the witholding of speech. In my paper I attempt to reveal the patterns of a manipulated and ”overcoded” language behind the syntactical and rhetorical infractions of Borbély’s poem.
Ádám és a Gólem
Authors: Száz Pál
Published: October 2021

The present study attempts to analyze kabbalistic motifs in the poetic cycle Hasidic Sequences by Szilárd Borbély, which is included in the amplified third book of the second, extended edition of his poetry volume Halotti pompa [The Splendours of Death – 2006]. By using the theory of transtextuality developed by Gérard Genette, focusing on the elaborated motif-structure gathered around the topic of creation of the world, it is clear that hypertexts, used by the author, are derived from the imaginarium of the creation of late lurianic kabbalah. These pretexts or hypotexts, however, originated from the Talmudic or Biblical sources. In this manner of palimpsestuous reading, the texts reveal their unique bricolage structure, which offers a detailed view of Szilárd Borbély’s writing method.
A fájdalmas és az ellenálló anya
Authors: Szűcs Teri
Published: October 2021

The mother is a central figure in the works of Szilárd Borbély, and she usually appears as Mater Dolorosa, the sorrowful mother. The novel Nincstelenek is exceptional in this respect, because it also presents her as the resisting mother. The novel focuses on the aggressive attribution of identities, the exclusion of those who are considered Jewish – and thus: as the Other – from the community. This process stretches over several generations. The only character in the novel whose attitude towards this violent attribution of inferior identity consciously changes is the mother. While her husband and her children are stigmatized by blood lineage, in the case of the mother Jewishness is a choice. Thus she becomes able to understand the events that befall her family, their exclusion, their poverty. She offers this insight to her husband at the end of the novel, and he finally accepts the status of the Jew, and participates in the Shabbat ritual. The peculiar practice of the mother is an attempt to grasp agency.
Hosidius Geta Medea-centója
Authors: Hende Fanni
Published: October 2021

The subject of my paper is Hosidius Geta’s drama, Medea. The Late Latin tragedy retells the well-known Greek myth in Virgilian hexameters. Written in the 3rd century AD, the piece was preserved in the so-called Codex Salmasianus (today Codex Parisianus 10381), a manuscript copied in a monastic scriptorium in the 8th century. Not much is known about its assumed author, Hosidius Geta. Due to the fact that his figure is known from a reference by Tertullian the African, Hosidius might also have lived in Africa. Originally, the name of the genre cento meant a patchwork garment used for covering animals or as defensive armour. Later, the expression was applied to a new method of poetic creation and a particular literary genre, in which new poems were composed of excerpts taken from other authors, especially Virgil. I focus on passages where Medea’s words might have been borrowed from Virgil’s Dido. Most quotations from Dido are put into the mouth of Medea, but Medea’s passages are predominantly composed of other sources. Hosidius’ Medea is related to Seneca’s portrayal: her cruel and destructive nature seems to be conscious, which alienates the reader.
A bölcs, az ördöngös, a gyilkos és a szerelmes
Authors: Csehy Zoltán
Published: October 2021

The myth of Medea in old Hungarian poetry occurs only occasionally. Sebestyén Tinódi (1510?–1556) translated the Medieval Historia Troiana by Guido da Columna putting the prose into verse. The Medea-story was incorporated in the myth of the first and second sieges of Troy: the character of the main hero (Jason) is constructed from the panels of hypermasculine Hercules and pious Aeneas. Medea and Dido also keep in close allegorical touch. Kristóf Armbrust adds Medea’s profile to his satirical misogynist poem (1550) with special regards to the dark side of the character. István Koháry (1649–1731) uses the myth as a political allegory: the author draws a parallel between the mythological person cut into pieces by Medea promising to rejuvenate the old body and the dismemberment of the old country. István Gyöngyösi (1629–1704) depicts the myth as a story about fatal love and its ambivalent consequences.
A kívüllét neve
Authors: Bartal Mária
Published: October 2021

Medeia by Sándor Weöres is one of the poet’s epic mythological poems of the 1950s, connecting and contrasting fragments of Medea’s disparate mythic narratives written by Euripides, Apollonius Rhodius and Ovid. The textual and narrative discontinuity and the mixture of epic, lyric and dramatic discourses in a widened context of Medea’s mythologems allow to read the poem as a simultaneous experiment to interchange the dramatic functions of the characters, dissolving and establishing the borders of their identity, and, paradoxically, to metaphorise the closure, the marginalization and the isolation of the Self. Medeia is constituted by a double time structure: besides the homogeneous time of the dream and the non-existence connecting to the inseparability of the poem’s speakers and to the visual dominance, there is the time structure of the unified centre of the unidentified first person singular, and the remembrance of the voices resulted in diverse histories. The three dominant types of the speakers’ narratives are the magic powers of the enchantress penetrated by the voices of the victims, that of the orphic Medea calling into question the function and effect of poetry and song, and the various mythologems of dragons.

Kosztolányi és Ady költészetértelmezésének összefüggései
Authors: Gintli Tibor
Published: October 2021

Endre Ady and Dezső Kosztolányi are two distinguished poets of modern Hungarian literature. Although their poetic self-interpretation and practice shownumerous differences, they both interpret poetry in a metaphysical context. While Ady represents the modern version of the prophet poet’s archaic role, Kosztolányi considers the transcendent sphere exclusively as a fiction created within the stretch of the poem. Therefore Kosztolányi regards all interpretations about the role of the poet as a self-betrayal which considers the poet as a medium who may get an insight into the actually existing metaphysical world.
Conditio humana
Authors: Dobos István
Published: October 2021

So far, this piece by Dezső Kosztolányi has not been analyzed from the aspect of biopoetics. The novel seeks to answer the query whether we are able to transcend the framework of interpreting ourselves that is traditionally available for us and move to the level of other relationships of existence (present in the vegetable or animal kingdoms, or in nature) in this effort. In Aranysárkány [verbatim: golden dragon], the eponymous creature is neither a human being, nor an animal, but a model of a mythological beast, which the characters seem to personify in various ways. Its role in the book is to gradually undermine the anthropological conviction that considers human beings to be the opposite of animals. according to this latter assumption, our absolute superiority in this respect is guaranteed by our intellect, willpower, morality, and the use of language. The novel suggests that the differences and discrepancies that separate us from animals and other natural creatures are much more complex and the essence of human existence cannot be defined or pinpointed through simple binary oppositions. it is the act of being addressed by the imaginary gaze of the golden dragon and the effort of embedding the interpretation of the experience of this encounter into the image perceptible about human nature that provide the perspectives and angles of comprehension which may justify the possibility of approaching Kosztolányi’s Aranysárkány from a bio-poetic aspect.
A műfordítás mint extrémsport

Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland has been translated into Hungarian six times. The most prominent literary personality of the six translators, Dezső Kosztolányi published his version in 1936, near the end of his life. The key hypothesis of my study is that Kosztolányi made his translation with a very specific purpose. He wanted to create the ultimate masterwork of domesticating translation: a text that cuts all its cultural connections with the source culture and replaces them with references of the target culture. He managed to create a translation of the first alice-book from which he removed every hint of englishness with the sole exception of the author’s name, and replaced them with Hungarian cultural items. This method is the exact opposite of the one Vladimir Nabokov used in his translation of Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin, which excludes any target-language references and makes up for them with bulky annotations. While nabokov’s extreme method replaces the signifiers of the original (transcoding), Kosztolányi’s replaces its signified elements and attitudes (adaptation). My paper examines his highly sophisticated tricks.
A narancsligettől a harisnyagyárig

Published: October 2021

Mágia, one of Dezső Kosztolányi’s lyrical works, was first published in 1912 by tevan Printing-House. With a few minor changes the book was published again in 1920, and finally in 1935 as a part of the Collected Poems, in which the poet chose to feature only 19 of his poems instead of the original 46. The study focuses on the complete 46-poem-long version, and offers an insight of the creation, composition and reception of the volume. The aim of these aspects are to explain the editorial decision behind the soon-to-be-released critical edition, which is questioning the validity of the abridged edition: the ultima manus principle cannot be validated because of the last edition’s abbreviated nature. The study argues that the second edition should have a privileged position over the last edition of 1935.
A fiatal prózaíró Kosztolányi kötetkompozíciós megoldásainak nyomában
Authors: Fagyas Róbert
Published: October 2021

In my work, i examine the collection of short stories titled Beteg lelkek by Dezső Kosztolányi, published in 1912; searching for proof for my theory, in which i propose that Beteg lelkek is the result of Kosztolányi’s conscious and thorough composition of the book. Based on the results of the literature fundamentally connected to the topic, on the one hand the importance of colours as symbols will be revised in some short stories, on the other hand, the seven short stories of the collection will be examined focusing on the topic of sickness regarding as the central theme. During my work, besides examining the history and theory of literature, i also use some writings of cultural history and psychology, connected to the matter; this method is requested by the title as well as by the topic of the short stories that give the substance of the collection. In some chapters, i also mention the results of the philology researches in connection to the oeuvre of Kosztolányi, and i try to focus on the challenges raised by the examination and complexity of the sources in connection with Kosztolányi.
„Nagy idő múlt a nagy harc óta!”

Mór Jókai’s novel, A kőszívű ember fiai (The Baron’s Sons), published in 1869, has become one of the cornerstones of national memory regarding the 1848-49 Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence in the 20th century, and in the past century in academic writing it has been interwoven with the notions of mythical novel and new national origin story. However, the result of the closer rereading of the novel led to the conclusion that The Baron’s Sons may not have become one of the outstanding bearers of the 48-49 memory because of its layered representation of the past and its memory work that easily leaps through time, but the lengthy embedding work of the Hungarian collective memory might have been needed (as well). The Baron’s Sons can be best described by its genre-poetical forms, it was fundamentally a popular novel, deeply rooted in the present of its time of creation, it satisfied the contemporary reader in many ways (adventure fiction, fitted for serialization etc.). While it considers the heroic and tragic fights of the (near) past, it offers points for orientation to  understand its age, and it uses appropriate acting strategies fit for outlining the values of the reshaping society. To describe these notions Biedermeier’s conceptual net offers some grasping points: the staging of the moving on after the end of the mourning, the deheroisation and the placing of the events in the distancing memory all serve the revelation of safety, homeliness, and conservation in the novel.
A Rákóczi-szabadságharc emlékezete Jókai Mór műveiben
Authors: Farkas Evelin
Published: October 2021

One of the most interesting times of the memory of Rákóczi’s War of Independence was the second half of the 19th century. The period studied begins in 1848, when the close connections between the two War of Independences (Rákóczi’s and ’48/49) determines the way of recalls and as ’48/49 itself became the part of the cultural memory, the memory of the Rákóczi Era changed as well. The paper intends to explore some of the main features of this memories through the study of works and associated organs by Mór Jókai. The paper first examines the Rákóczi related poems from the organ called Életképek, published in 1848 by Sándor Petőfi, János Arany and Kálmán Lisznyai, then one of Jókai’s poem, published in 1883. Two of Jókai’s novels, the A lőcsei fehér asszony and the Szeretve mind a vérpadig also compared by their memory operations of the poems before.
A történelem politikai felhasználásáról
Authors: Balogh László Levente
Published: October 2021

Within memory culture the relationship between politics and history has always been full of tension which is usually distinguished with the concept of history politics. The concept has become a standard point of orientation nearly everywhere, which, on its own, does not have outstanding political importance, however, as a dominant element it determines what we accept and reject from the past, thus history can never be completely politically neutral. In present political decisions we can always find direct or indirect references to or motivations for the past, which defy our political engagement and necessities. Therefore, in general, history politics explains the interaction through which past events gain meaning and significance in politics. History politics is the discursive space in which the interpretation of history is based upon the primer political usage of the present public representation of a communally relevant past event by different agents. Hence, it is not a coherent subject but a way of approaching or a perspective of questioning, which wishes to grasp the interactions between history and politics on a public and academic level.
Kertvárosi tréfacsinálók és márkatudatos iskolások

The study overviews the francophone versions of kid comics and focuses on works that are significant recipients of this genre tradition. The radical reformation of the francophone kid comics’ genre, which became popular since mid-20th century, happened in the 1990s, and can mostly be bound to those humorous album series that break away from the traditional idealized innocent depiction of child-life. Taking into account the experiences of the forming history of the kid comics’ genre the child-life depiction of other genres seem exciting to study. Especially the child-life representation of contemporary European graphic novels that centre on childhood, these account for an important part of the widely researched biographical graphic novels.

The objectives of this research are 1). to find out a brief history of the Keda Nua Pu'u Nida traditional house; 2). To explore the ethnomathematical concepts contained in the Nua Pu'u Nida Traditional House. This type of research is exploratory research using an ethnographic approach with taxonomic analysis. The subjects in this study were four people and the researchers themselves. The instruments used are observation sheets, interview guidelines, and documentation. Data analysis used is a triangulation of data sources from researchers, namely by means of documentation and observation and is strengthened by reference books. The results of this study indicate the existence of geometric shapes in the traditional house of Keda Nida. The geometric shapes found are: 1) trapezoidal roof; 2) beam-shaped bearings; 3) a line-shaped roof pole; 4) the roof to the side is triangular in shape; 5) the meeting between two logs that form a corner. The shape of the parts of the traditional house can change the paradigm of students and the community under mathematics which is closely related to daily activities with culture.
