After becoming a recognized branch of historical research, in the past decade microhistory has made its way into genealogical research, offering an approach and methodology that allows for the piecing together of information about ancestors even when detailed accounts or documents are missing – either because they were lost or because they never existed in the first place. Such microhistories then offer insight into and provide important details for local social history, results that take family history work well beyond the personal scope.","PeriodicalId":40442,"journal":{"name":"Hungarian Cultural Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44842642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Szántó, András. 2021. Pesti alakok a nagyvilágban [‘Guys from Pest in the Wide World’]. Budapest: Gabbiano Print Kft.","authors":"Teodóra Dömötör","doi":"10.5195/ahea.2022.473","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5195/ahea.2022.473","url":null,"abstract":"András Szántó (1964-) is a Hungarian-born author, researcher, and art advisor living in New York City. His professional background is diverse. Following his studies at Corvinus University in Budapest and then at CUNY and Columbia University in New York, he settled down in the Big Apple to build a career in art business and marketing communications. He has acted as art advisor for several reputable institutions including the Guggenheim Museum and Foundation, the Dallas Museum of Art, Stanford University, Kunstmuseum Basel, Asia Society, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest Museum of Fine Arts, Rockefeller Archive Center, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, to name but a few. Szántó moved to the United States in the 1980s, but his connection to his homeland remained intact through his professional pursuits and so did his obvious passion for introducing Hungary and Hungarians to the world. Pesti alakok a nagyvilágban [‘Guys from Pest in the Wide World’] is the ninth of a ten-volume series that he wrote about people based in or originating from Budapest. Each book focuses not only on famous individuals in the traditional sense, but also on humans that the author himself may have had a personal connection with – people that he considers important. This personal approach lends an immensely compassionate, gentle tone to the books, instantly drawing the reader in. In addition to providing significant data, Szántó also manages to present a collection of interesting stories. It is a commonly known fact that successful writers develop engaging characters and compelling plots while using a riveting language. Szántó may not be a fiction writer, but his text certainly makes the readers feel as though they were on an exciting adventure, finding out more and more about the protagonists, and looking forward to the climax of the story, when the conflict of the plot is resolved, the questions are answered, and the essence of the protagonists becomes fully understood. Pesti alakok a nagyvilágban is indeed an exceptional book about the life stories of adventurers. It is not long (only 136 pages), but it is so engrossing that the reader finds it difficult to put it down. The subtitle of the book is Expatriates, Immigrants, Dissidents, Hobos, which promises that the book will include the diverse accounts of several people of Hungarian origin. Szántó begins the text by providing the reader with a general overview of immigration from Hungary at the turn of the twentieth century. He explains that one of the main sources of income of large international passenger lines was the transportation of immigrants, and that they built their marketing strategies around this concept. They had offices in European capitals including","PeriodicalId":40442,"journal":{"name":"Hungarian Cultural Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45681432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This project was ongoing between 1985 and 2010 in the Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences or MTA and led by Miklós Kontra. (The project continued for a few years even after 2010, although in a more limited scope, led by Tamás Váradi.) The volume contains both newly written articles, such as the one by Miklós Kontra on the history of the project, and republished older ones, at times with additions and modifications to their original versions. The book consists of two large parts: the first part contains introductory articles that contextualize the project itself, and the second consists of several individual studies that concentrate each on a specific topic within the BUSZI project. As Kontra highlights in his historical overview in Chapter 2, the main aims of the BUSZI project were to complement the written corpora and the intuition-based studies that until then were the norm in research about Hungarian language use in Budapest. The new project was to rely on a relatively large speech corpus, thus enabling sociolinguists to compare the language uses of various social classes living in Budapest as well as to investigate speech styles, meaning the degree and kind of attention that speakers pay to the way they talk. The project also aimed to secure comparability with possible future phenomena and investigations, although to-date, thirtyfive years since the beginning of the project, no such comparative investigations were carried out. In accordance with these rather ambitious aims, the project has practically covered the entire spectrum of the structure of language, ranging from phonetics and phonology through morphology, syntax, and lexis, all the way to stylistic and discourse features. Accordingly, the book is itself structured along the two concerns of contextualization and focused analyses promised by its division into these two large parts. It is important to clarify in connection with the research methods applied throughout the BUSZI project that the investigations were largely built upon Labovian foundations, with the interviews being adapted versions of the classic Labovian sociolinguistic interview tailored to a","PeriodicalId":40442,"journal":{"name":"Hungarian Cultural Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45077839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These incidents may have been provoked by agents from Communist Hungary who had penetrated the camps and found ground for provocation among the refugees. The author argues their true significance should be sought in the contemporary history of Catholic Hungary and Austria. Special attention is given to the biography of the journalist and historian, Friedrich Heer, and the priest, Leopold Ungar, who challenged the Austrian church to greater openness. An additional analysis is provided of the confrontation with the Catholic Jewish question conducted by Fathers György Kis, John Österreicher, and Alois Eckert. The engagement of Eckert and Ungar with the Hungarian refugees emerges as a prelude to the reconciliation of the Catholic Church with Judaism in the constitution Nostra Aetate of the Second Vatican Council.","PeriodicalId":40442,"journal":{"name":"Hungarian Cultural Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48450569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using less-known publications and archived materials, this study moves beyond the well-documented history of the Hungarian pedagogue, Zoltán Kodály’s influence upon American general music education to focus on Kodály’s early childhood concepts, which form the backbone of the Hungarian philosophy of music education. Through the lives and work of the Hungarian and American music educators, Katinka Dániel, Katalin Forrai, Sister Lorna Zemke and Betsy Moll, I delineate a pedigree of distinguished female Kodály protégés professing a passion for Hungarian early childhood music pedagogy that did not mainstream into US preschools. In words spoken by and about these scholar-educators, my research locates the systemic and cultural factors contributing to the challenge of implementing Hungarian musical ideas in US preschools. To round out a description of the elusive Kodály influence on US early childhood music, this analysis also draws upon my own Los Angeles experience in searching for a quality Kodály education for my young toddlers.","PeriodicalId":40442,"journal":{"name":"Hungarian Cultural Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46340178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
