Absztrakt:

The paper outlines the possibilities of creating a regional multilingual and transcultural Jewish canon related to the Transcarpathian / Maramures region. This transcultural area of historical Hungary, with its large Jewish population, was most significantly influenced by Hasidism, and this is reflected in the works depicting the local Jewish community. The changes of power after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and then during the Second World War determined the life of these communities and the linguistic, cultural, ideological, contextual and empirical diversity of the works reporting on them. The soa, which ends in the local Jewish world, defines this set of texts with minority and regional relevance. Some of these works belong to the Holocaust literature, looking through the prism of the transcultural experience of survivors and recalling the lost world (Elie Wiesel, Helena Maršíková, David Weiss Halivni). And most of his works create a world of fiction where the countryside is nourished by a reality that has become a thing of the past once and for all. In addition to the linguistic, contextual, cultural and ideological differences, the manifest regional aspect of the works discussed by Péter Ujvári, Ivan Olbracht, Elie Wiesel, Dezső Schön, György Láng is a common feature – so does it make sense to talk about a regional canon for this divisive set? The analysis can distinguish four typical narratives relevant to the transcultural region that make these works readable.
