123 joined the Nagy Lajos Társaság, a society of left-leaning literary scholars sympathetic to the preceding system of János Kádár. In this forum he gave voice to his opinion that his career did not fall victim to the change of political systems, but to the “Esterházy mania” and the postmodern “maffia of critics” worshiping Esterházy. This story unfolds from Szerdahelyit writings on literary politics and from a biographical interview with Szerdahelyi conducted by Erika Lajta, and it is an interesting, even if bizarre, part of the reception of postmodern trends in Hungary. Zsolt K. Horváth ■ The Aggressive Victim: The Dual Notion of the Political Representation of Suffering Keywords: politics of representation, politics of trauma, critical sociology of politics of recognition The article discusses the process in which historical and sociological research on the victims of genocide in the 20th century was transformed and, increasingly, appropriated by the political field. For what purpose was this appropriation mobilized and how did this process somehow empty scholarly research? Isolating the dual notion of the political representation of suffering, the article seeks to find an approach with which the political issue of the subject must be emphasized, just to get out of the trap constructed by politics. Anna Keszeg ■ Forms of Resentment in Contemporary Hungarian and Romanian Television Series Keywords: resentment, television studies, television and emotions, affect studies The central thesis of the study is that resentment is not a homogeneous phenomenon, but rather a spectrum. Different forms of resentment strongly shape the lives of citizens in the democracies of late capitalism.

After defining the concepts of resentment, the study deals with manifestations of this spectral emotion in Romanian and Hungarian television series produced between 2010 and 2020.

The ongoing pilot project explores the socio-cultural patterns of this phenomenon in an educated urban middleclass sample of contemporary Hungary. Inspired also by intercultural comparative studies, our non-representative research is based on forty semi-structured interviews (twenty-seven of which are already realized). The analysis of personal narratives targets the communication practices and strategies of subsequent generations within the socio-cultural contexts of families. It employs the Bourdieusian notion of habitus as a flexible conceptual tool containing unconscious and not necessarily rational elements to tease apart family behaviour labelled as resentment. József Mélyi ■ Chains of Grievance: Changes in the Concept of Sacrifice and Victim in Hungarian Public Monuments Keywords: collective memory, historical grievance, public monuments Historical grievance can have deep roots in collective memory, and its representation continually appears in public monuments. In Hungary, national monuments have always been almost inseparable from the sacrifice made by the nation and the nation as a 2022/1
