victim, over the past 150 years. The study examines the change in the concept of historical grievance and sacrifice, the duality of the idea of sacrifice and resurrection through public monuments, primarily in the Hungarian context. The various historical grievances seem to form a circular chain with no breaking point. The authorities could always combine the grievances according to their own memory politics, and could embed any traumatic event or national catastrophe in the existing chain. This chain of grievance takes now often the form of memorial parks. András Müllner ■ Images of Roma People in Hungarian Independent Media Keywords: independent media, representation of Roma people, activism, deliberative pedagogy In my case study I analyse the image of the Roma people as it is constructed in the Hungarian independent media. The video I am to discuss was posted on Telex.hu, and it was made by journalists who are driven by the ethical rules of their profession and open to the problems of vulnerable social communities. The team, an interviewer and a cameraman, adapting a classic journalistic genre, aimed at creating an objective image of a teacher who leads an educational institution for disadvantaged, mostly Roma youngsters. In their report the journalists show the methods applied by the teacher, and they also render an image of the Roma community. Shortly after the posting the content was criticized by a group of Roma activists. The debate which gained its publicity on more online platforms, primarily on those of social media, can be discussed in the frame of the ressentiment-discourse related to minority ethnic (Roma) identity. In my article I try to sum up the history of the debate and to express my position on it. Dániel Szabolcs Radnai ■ Szörényi-Bródy: Myths and Ruptures of an Artistic Collaboration (1965-2021) Keywords: Hungarian culture, myth, music, collaboration, conflict The topics of the paper are the political and ideological conflicts of Levente Szörényi and János Bródy, which occurred mainly after the Hun-garian democratic regime change (1989-90). In two historical chapters, the study tries to show the most important conflicts, ruptures between the two musicians, before the regime change and over the past thirty years. Finally, the last analytical-theoretical chapter delineates different, conflic-ting ideas of Szörényi and Bródy on the relation between art and politics, emphasizing the importance of Hungarian “poprock mythology” in context of the cultural memory and the recent memory politics. Richárd Rajnai ■ Ránk bán 2020 - Debate over National Culture and Artistic Freedom Keywords: theatre, culture war, online debate, Facebook comments The play Bánk bán, written by József Katona, was put on stage at the National Theatre of Pécs by two young artists in the Fall of 2020. Three days after the premiere, a statement was released on the theatre's Facebook page, in which the management called the audience’s attention to the facts that the creators of the piece were students of the Hungarian University of Theatre and Film Arts and that the performance contained “scenes not constituting part of the original work as well as profane language, including expletives at times”. The unusual announcement received over 1300 comments, by a stunning number of at least 500 users. The aim of my study was to analyze the debate generated by the statement in the context of the political process known as ‘culture wars’ as well as the Mediapolis theory. 2022/1 124
