2022 / 1. szám = A sértődés kultúrái - ABSTRACTS
The arguments of the commenters defending and of the ones attacking the performance was inseparable of the situation created by the authoritarian change of administration at the University of Theatre and Film Arts, and even beyond this, from the state of the Hungarian public policy of the 2020’s and the judgement of the societal role of national (high) culture. The comments also highlighted the matter of artistic freedom on the one hand as aesthetic, on the other hand as a political issue. The discussion conducted in an online space was deeply interwoven by threads of resentfulness and hatred, by the opposition of us against you, as well as anti-Semitic remarks in various forms and with various levels of intensity. Nóra Schleicher ■ Aggrieved Entitlement: Communicative Strategies of People Accused of Harassment in the #Me l bo Movement Keywords: #MeToo, harassment, entitlement, communicative strategy, rhetoric, identity The article examines two harassment cases affecting the Hungarian theatrical world, that of Miklos Gábor Kerényi, ex-director of Budapest Operetta Theatre and of Enikő Eszenyi, ex-director of Vígszínház. Their communi-cative strategies used while responding to the accusations are analysed. Recurring elements of the rhetoric of denial are identified. The examples illustrate the strategies of ambivalent apologies, reframing, conspiracy theories and victim-perpetrator reversals, among others. The feeling of aggrieved entitlement dominates their identity constructions as artist, leader, and parent of their company. Marcell Sebők ■ The Beginnings and Present of Hungarian Complaint-Culture: A (Literary) Historical and Social Psychological Overview Keywords: complaint-culture, heritage, Hungarian literature, social psychology, historical consciousness Works in different genres, reflecting the turning points of Hungarian history, its losses, or its generally bad conditions have already been published in the 16th century. First, they appeared in the system of topoi in Latin poetry professed in Hungary as “querelea Hungáriáé”, complaints of Hungary, that plausibly enlisted grievance. Parallel to this, the growing body of native Hungarian literature also benefited from the vocabulary and phrases of complaint-culture. This paper, therefore, suggests that the beginnings of the Hungarian complaintculture were not in modernity or during the Enlightenment, but much earlier. It also proposes another level of interpretation with a comparative look between recent studies in social psychology and early modern phrases towards our contemporary historical consciousness and argues that complaint-culture has become an integral part of national cultural heritage. Zsolt Szíjártó ■ Emotions and Communication Studies Keywords: emotions, affect turn, overflow, “domestication” of media, médiatisation of everyday life This study explores the links between communication research and emotions. Drawing on theories and methods from cultural anthropology, cultural geography and media ethnography, it presents a discussion of the affect turn. The analysis focuses on the socio-geographical space of the home. In connection with the ideas of Orvar Lofgren and David Morley, it discusses in detail the relations between media, homes and everyday life, the process of the “domestication” of media and the médiatisation of everyday life. In the second half of the study, this conceptual and methodological framework was used to analyse the socio-cultural consequences of the ageing of the media, the transformation of the home sphere. 125 2022/1
