Absztrakt:

The strong embeddedness of the periodical Új Symposion, published in Novi Sad in Hungarian, to the Yugoslavian culture is a known but not self-evident characteristic of the Vojvodinian Hungarian literature. There are several studies investigating questions related both to the periodical and its prominent authors as well as editors. The current study reports the latest findings of an ongoing research project focusing on the translational practice of the periodical, in relationto the periodical’s texts reflecting to the South-Slavic literatures. Translations from South-Slavic languages do not appear as transfers between foreign cultures and typically they are not created for readers who would not be able to read the original work. The periodical showed dynamic regional formations of cultural identity with its own local minority culture, with the whole, undivided Hungarian culture and the complex Yugoslavian culture. Instead of the complete identification with one of these cultures we can register patterns of undefined participation in each of them.

Our profile

Partitúra is a Hungarian literary journal published in Slovakia twice a year. The first edition was issued in 2006. From 2007 to 2014 its publishers were the Faculty of Central European Studies at The Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra in cooperation with Sambucus Literary Society. Since 2014 the Faculty of Central European Studies at the CPU in Nitra became the sole publisher.

The journal releases peer-reviewed scientific articles, literary studies and art reviews of both Hungarian as well as world literature. It is also a forum for essays on several other arts and intercultural relations. Furthermore, special attention is devoted to the Central European literature and literary studies; the magazine not only publishes the reviews of such studies, but also provides the arena for reflections about them. The journal aims to give an account of the contemporary Hungarian literature of the Hungarian minorities as well as to serve as a cluster for discourses.

As for the structure of the paper, it is usually divided into three main sections. The first part generally deals with the translation of an important foreign abstract literary study. It is followed by the heading of Scientific Studies and the Columns of Critical Analysis. Partitúra regularly publishes thematic abstracts by authors, genres, as well as a literary and artistic phenomenon in focus.
