Abstract:

This paper discusses a neglected aspect of Sándor Weöres’s work, its carnivalesque, grotesque motifs as exemplified by one of his poems. This piece of poetry is all the more suitable for this kind of interpretation as it can be considered the carnivalesque paraphrase of Dezső Kosztolányi’s „Hajnali részegség” (“Daybreak drunkenness”). Therefore such a comparative study can also elucidate carnival’s perception of the subject, time and the world, and contrast it with modernity’s approach.

Keywords: Mikhail Bakhtin, carnival, grotesque, modernity

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.
