Title: Mediaeval and Renaissance Hungarian Literature/ Introduction to Literary Studies Code: LM11161 Nr. of credits: 7 Lecturer: prof. dr. Gábor Csilla / lect.dr. Zsuzsa Selyem Description of the Mediaeval and Renaissance Hungarian Literature courses: The objective of the courses is to help the students to get acquainted with the mediaeval and renaissance Hungarian literature; they have to practise strategies of interpretation of these texts taking into account the creation methods (imitatio, compilatio) and the special structure of the specific genres pg the period. Themes of the courses: Middle Ages – universality and Christianity, the concept of the beautiful within the system of sacred values, the reception of the medieval rhetoric and poetics in Hungarian literature, the problems of liturgical literature, the cult of saints and historiography; Renaissance – reception of Erasmus’ ideas and its consequences in Hungarian literature, the reformation and the Coucil of Trent. Description of the seminars (Gábor Csilla) The seminar aims at practising text analysis. These texts however are considered in a broader context. Text analysis involves knowledge about the theoretical thinking of the period in question. The themes are formulated in such a manner as to involve the characteristic genres of the period (legend, hymn, historiography, miracles etc). We pay attention to the functionality of the texts, we try to make aware of the essential difference between the contemporary concept concerning literature and the concept of the Middle Ages or the Renaissance: we also follow the convergences between literary, poetical, theological etc. approaches. Description of the seminars (Korondi Ágnes) The main aim of the seminars, besides studying the most important themes, literary genres and concepts of the medieval Hungarian literature, is to discuss some important texts in a broader context. We would like to situate them in the literary life of the age, and, more importantly, we intend to focus on some aspects considered usually as belonging to the history of mentality, spirituality, arts or books. The multiplicity of approaches is desirable, since the literature of this age had an explicitly functional character, being embedded completely in the readers’ political, religious, cultural and personal life. Students need to be aware of the essentially different character of this literature as compared with the present day literary phenomena. This should help them in understanding the medieval culture better. Bibliography: Klaniczay Gábor (szerk.), Európa ezer éve. A középkor, Bp., 2004.

Description of the Introduction to Literary Studies (dr. Zsuzsa Selyem): We shall study the literary phenomena in the contemporary space: after a short introduction to the history of the concept of literature we’ll analyse the different forms of contemporary literature. Which are its recent institutions, media? What is the literature’s function, position in them? How is it re-forming them? How are the basic literary genres (poetry, novel, short-story, drama, essay, criticism etc.) changing? What’s the impact of the net-culture? Our aim is – through these first introductory steps in the first semester of the first university year – to give a few orientative points in contemporary literature, to learn new reading-techniques, to acknowledge manipulatory ideologies, to develop the critical sense and to form autonomous vision on different literary phenomena, based on arguments and sensibility towards the caracteristics of the functioning of society of 21th century.

Title: The History of Hungarian Literature, the Middle Ages and Renaissance Period Code: LM11261 Nr. of Credits: 4 Lecturer: lecturer Zsombor Tóth PhD Course Description: This course attempts to grasp the literary, both (neo)Latin and Hungarian literary phenomenon relying on the concepts of mentality and tradition. Since both of them seem to display strong connections toward historiography (the French Annales School) and theory of literature (hermeneutics), the lectures and seminars set forth a multi and interdisciplinary approach to the culture, literature and history of the Middle Ages. Consequently, in terms of method, this course proposes considerations regarding literally and poetical or social and anthropological phenomena in order to reveal the multifaceted complexity of textual representations and poetical programs prevailing in this period. All the same, this course will also emphasize the moral, spiritual and literary continuity between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, for, according to my strong conviction, these periods are not dissociable ones.

Nr. of Credits: 4 Lecturer: lecturer Zsombor Tóth PhD Course Description: This course centered upon the early modern literature, culture and history in the Hungarian Kingdom and the Transylvanian Principality carries on the conceptual and methodological bases of the former course focused upon the Middle Ages. Accordingly, the two most important perspectives organizing the lectures and seminars into one interpretive discourse, are, of course, the aforementioned mentality and tradition. However, the lectures will expound the social and cultural history of the early modern period, providing a sound survey and evaluation of Reformation, Counter Reformation and their political, literary and historical consequences. Thus, confessionalism as a cultural construct, and its impact upon literacy and mentalities will be deciphered in order to explore the historico-anthropological complexity of the early modern Hungarian literary heritage.

Egyed Emese The seminar on History of Hungarian Literature completes the knowledge of Hungarian Literature acquired during the course and aims to study manuscripts and publications belonging to the period 1700-1850 in order to develop the philological skills, as well as the knowledge referring to the conservation and transmission of “literary” values in that period. The old manuscripts kept in the Central University Library, as well as the different types of publications will be analysed from the point of view of functional poetics. The Hungarian works and fragments from other sources (belonging to The Transylvanian Museum Society, Transylvanian families’ book collections) represent accessible examples for the theoretical knowledge acquired from the bibliography recommended for the course. The seminars are planned for 6 meetings in the special collection room (BCU Lucian Blaga) and 6 round table seminars held at the Faculty of Letters.

Demeter Zsuzsa Within the framework of this practical seminar dedicated to literature between 1700 and 1850 we shall examine segments of literary, cultural, reading and genre history by analysing concrete literary texts. The seminar is guided by the programme of the leading course: by the analysis of representative literary texts we shall investigate more general aspects of the literary history characteristic to that age. Among the main questions of the material connected to the age of enlightenment we find: the examination of the notion of enlightenment, its historic transformation, the identification of present-day interpretation aspects; the knowledge of notions related to the history of styles within a given text; issues of genre and authorship. The period between 1825 and 1850 is approached by the works of three authors (Ferenc Kölcsey, Mihály Vörösmarty, Sándor Pet fi). When choosing the authors, dual perspectives had been observed. On the one hand it was considered important that the literary texts of the age be supported by the knowledge acquired by the students about the previous periods, on the other hand that they are offered a glimpse into the newer trends of a changing literary canon.

Dept. of Hungarian Literary Studies Title of the course: Hungarian literature in the second half of the 19th century (1849– 1908) Curricular ID: LM 22161 Dr. Levente Szabó MHist
Hungarian literature in the second half of the 19th century (1849–1908) Locating the content of the course within the curriculum: The course aims at being an introductory university framework in matters of a highly important period of Hungarian literature. It is going to focus on the elements of modernization occurring in the second half of nineteenth-century literature, at the same time connecting literary studies with social studies of modernization. Along this vision of the literary period at issue two core narratives will unfold. On the one hand the course emphasizes the social history of early modernist Hungarian literary phenomena and the ‘entangled literary history’ of literary works, movements, connections and social
structures, strata, phenomena. On the other hand writers and institutions of poetical ‘high’ modernism will be considered so as to rebuild a historical notion of modern literature and poetical modernization.

The title of the course: Theory of Literature Code: LM32161 Number of credits: 7 Teacher: prof. dr. Orbán Gyöngyi Description of the discipline: We intend to study and understand the principles of literary hermeneutics in an applicative manner, taking into consideration the practice of teaching literature. The two problems can and must be connected because the students have their compulsory teaching practice in the third year; to read applicatively and to discuss the representative texts of modern hermeneutics may encourage their work. Moreover, we can often experience that the university studies scarcely and rarely have any influence upon the pedagogues’ daily work in which they tend to follow automatically the models set by their own teachers as regards their views and behaviour. The course built on group work and discussions has as an aim to make the students aware that they are
supposed to question the preconceptions of their interpretational practice, as well as to search for the possible ways of developing the interpretational abilities applied to the given situation.

Title: Ancient Rome and the historical novel in the 20th century Code: LM32166 Credits: 4 Dr. Horváth Andor, associate professor Description: The 20th century produced important changes concerning the theory and the methods of historical knowledge.

Theories of Literary Historiography Locating the content of the course within the discipline: As an intermediate course for those who have basic knowledge in the practice of historiography and literary historiography, but not in the methodological framework connecting and theorizing these, the aim of the course is to present the specific problems along a general framework in which aspects, trends, concepts and scholars can be positioned. Accordingly, while the lectures attempt to give a comprehensive outline of the major themes, problems and foreground the relevant contemporary debates, they will always be accompanied by several seminars which will offer the chance for students to position themselves regarding the problems presented, to discuss them along primary sources and secondary texts that provoke and enthrall. The core of the lectures will be positioned around the following issues: ideological biases and the literary histories (reading nation-building and literary history; the latest methods of conceptual history),
literary history and the diverging conceptions of memory, concepts of time and diverging literary histories (types of time structures, ideological uses of time, the possibilities of a history of the recent and contemporary literature), the applied history of media in literary history, the new trends in quantitative and qualitative literary sociology, the methods of social history in the literary one, space and spatial structures in literary history, the theories of text and textual intervention in literary methodologies.

Title of the course : Paleography - Cult and Canonisation Code: LM6101 Number of credits: 7
Lecturer: Éva Gyimesi, professor consultant Description of the course: We have been witnessing an intensification of professional debates regarding the large differences in the evaluation and canonisation of certain Transylvanian Hungarian authors by literary critics in Hungary and ‘across the borders’. At the same time, we have seen an increasing interest in the subject of cult and canonisation in literature. Therefore it appears to be important to pose certain theoretical and practical questions regarding canonisation strategies, literary values, and criticism. Literary value, appreciation of value, and the acts of canonisation – these are the most adequate notions enabling us to analise and evaluate a phenomenon that is nearly extraordinary in today’s Hungarian literary criticism: the cult of András Süt and Albert Wass, a phenomenon that has never been preceded by thorough, scientific analysis.

Examination: students should maintain 2 paper exams. The average of these exams will represent 50% of the final grade. Title: Literary concepts and ideas Code: LM6103 Credits: 7 Dr. Horvath Andor, associate professor Description:
The history of the French Literature has given the name of „La Querelle des Anciens et des Modernes” to a controversy which has taken place in the 17th century with strong echos since the 19th even to the present time. This dispute modified the previous vision concerning the legacy of the ancient culture and it revealed a new concept of the asthetic field and of the historical progress. Nietzsche’s „Birth of Tragedy”, published in 1872, is not only an inversigation about the most famous ancient literary genres, but it contents also a critical view upon western modernity. The author exhorts to a return in the past proposing his restauration in morals and culture. Seminars: Discussions about texts concerning French and German classicism (Corneille, Racine, Hölderlin), the evolution of the aestethical concepts (Baumgarten, Baudelaire, Taine, Zola, Dilthey), the western modernity (Spengler, Heidegger, Jean-Francois Lyotard, JeanLuc Nancy). The advancement from the classic to modern and postmodern. Compulsory bibliography: Fontenelle, Bernard le Bovier de: Méditation sur les Anciens et les Modernes.

Title: Art History – The Relationship between Contemporary Prose and Film Code: LM6104 Nr. of credits: 5 Lecturer: lect.dr. Zsuzsa Selyem Description: I propose for analysis the relationship between contemporary literature and contemporary film, as a starting point to study contemporary aesthetics. I chose such pieces that are represented both as texts and films. We shall not deal with “adaptations” - our concern is to study different forms of art without supposing among them some kind of hierarchy (not speaking about the bad results for literature if such hierarchy would be given in present). We shall search for the characteristics and possibilities of different media. Concerning our methods I would emphasize narratology – how a story can be built in the material of language and how in the material of pictures, sounds, movements and so on. Taking into account the contemporaneity of our subject, we shall use anthropological and political approaches too, looking for the communication among different cultures and societies through the power and “aura” (Benjamin) of arts.

Title: Historical Anthropology Code: LM6105 Nr of credits: 4 Lecturer: lecturer Zsombor Tóth PhD Course Description: Notwithstanding the continuous rapprochement between history and anthropology in western historiographical thinking and practice, in Eastern Europe this encounter is still delayed. Still, historical anthropology in its English or French version (Histoire Antropologique) consists of an impressive number of successful case-studies and books, which have surely shaped the general development of historical writing all over the world. Thus, the aim of this course is mainly to provide an initiation into the fascinating world of historical anthropology and microhistory. Consequently, the main topics will deal with methodological issues, such as, the small scale, contextualization and the concept of eccezionalmente normale. Furthermore, anthropological questions, such as normality, deviance, and center/periphery will be revisited to illustrate the innovative uses of historical anthropology.

Titlul disciplinei: Classical Rhetorics Codul: LM6107 Numar de credite: Cadru didactic: dr. Gábor Csilla Description The objective of the courses is to follow the changes of rhetorical thinking along the classical rhetoric structure. The reflections are done in an interdisciplinary context, viewing the universal valability and omnipresence of rhetorics in ancient, medieval and early modern age. Therefore it deals with the interferences between rhetoric and philosophy and dialectics, spirituality, hermeneutics. The main method is the reflection on rhetorical treatises written in different historical periods. Some special topics are being investigated in detail such as genus-stylus, inventio and spirituality, and special stress is also being put on the rhetorical behaviour in specific genres of the early modern age (preaching, meditation etc.). The objective of the seminars is to follow the rhetorical behaviour of different genres in different periods by analysis of rhetorized texts and to give attention to the function of classical rhetorics in the oevre of some canonized writers. Some of the themes: places of remembering and forgetting in Augustinus’ Confessiones; the rhetoric of passions in Didák Kelemen’ preachings; the rhetoric of the ordo in Bonaventure’s Itinerarium mentis in Deum; the rhetorics of contemporary political discourses.

Title of the course: Theory of science Cod: LM6209 Number of credits: 7 Teacher: Dr. Berszán István, Associate Professor Description Foucault’s main work, L’archeologie du savoir elaborates a theory of science investigating the rules of knowing at the level of discoursive practices. A careful study of
it helps us to get orientation in the history of speech objects of the scientific discourse, to follow the spread of concepts and theoretical strategies and, in the same time, it can develop participants’ researching abilities. First, archeological description will be applied in the treatment of documents belonging to the field of the students’ individual research. Then, in the context of recent scientific discourses, archeological description itself will be examined as a research practice. The lecturer offers an approach to it from the perspective of an ethical inquiry on cultural practices. Bibliography: Michel Foucault: A tudás Archeológiája, Budapest: Atlantisz 2001.

The title of the course: Functional Aesthetics Code: LM6212 Number of credits: 3 Teacher: prof. dr. Orbán Gyöngyi Description of the subject: The aim of the subject is to familiarize the students with the hermeneutical approach of the basic problems regarding the literary text taking as a starting point Gadamer’s idea about the inseparable unity of text and interpretation: “The concept of text can only be defined based on the concept of interpretation.” Therefore we can state that the issue of text interpretation discussed hermeneutically may be interesting for any researcher investigating literature or linguistics. The main activity form will be the debate on the materials read together. Compulsory reading:

Form of evaluation: exam. The title of the course: Aesthetics Code: LY31016 Number of credits: 4 Teacher: prof. dr. Orbán Gyöngyi Description of the subject: After an introductory lecture raising the main issues of the aesthetic experience, the lectures will focus on the classic texts of the history of aesthetics from Plato to Gadamer. In fact, this will
not be a traditional course in the “history of aesthetics”, since by reading anew the classic texts we are going to attempt to situate the current questions regarding the aesthetic experience into the flow of tradition. In other words: we shall try to “re-discover” the roots of our questions related to the “actuality of beauty” in the tradition of aesthetic thinking, and vice versa: we shall try to ask the old aesthetic questions anew (and in a new way). The seminars will focus on the theoretical and practical questions of the hermeneutics of art history, mainly based on the chapters of Oskar Batschmann’s book.

Orbán Gyöngyi Description of the discipline: We intend to study and understand the principles of literary hermeneutics in an applicative manner, taking into consideration the practice of teaching literature. The two problems can and must be connected because the students have their compulsory teaching practice in the third year; to read applicatively and to discuss the representative texts of modern hermeneutics may encourage their work. Moreover, we can often experience that the university studies scarcely and rarely have any influence upon the pedagogues’ daily work in which they tend to follow automatically the models set by their own teachers as regards their views and behaviour. The course built on group work and discussions has as an aim to make the students aware that they are supposed to question the preconceptions of their interpretational practice, as well as to search for the possible ways of developing the interpretational abilities applied to the given situation.

The title of the course: Aesthetics Code: LY41003 Number of credits: 4 Teacher: prof. dr. Orbán Gyöngyi
Description of the subject: After an introductory lecture raising the main issues of the aesthetic experience, the lectures will focus on the classic texts of the history of aesthetics from Plato to Gadamer. In fact, this will not be a traditional course in the “history of aesthetics”, since by reading anew the classic texts we are going to attempt to situate the current questions regarding the aesthetic experience into the flow of tradition. In other words: we shall try to “re-discover” the roots of our questions related to the “actuality of beauty” in the tradition of aesthetic thinking, and vice versa: we shall try to ask the old aesthetic questions anew (and in a new way). The seminars will focus on the theoretical and practical questions of the hermeneutics of art history, mainly based on the chapters of Oskar Batschmann’s book. Group : Hungarian IIIrd year, 1st semester
