Abstract:

András Dániel’s popular kufli series for preschoolers is one of the special spots in contemporary Hungarian children’s literature, which is also very exciting because of popular genres. Some piece from the series simultaneously carries the features of a fairy tale, a browser, a picture book, and a comic book, but as a kind of hybrid work, it bravely brings into play the tools of caricature and self-caricature, and sometimes the codes of science fiction as well. The kufli series is not only satisfied with the genre’s props and expectations of the contemporary tale, but also expands its possibilities by opening it up to various popular genres and by keeping their toolbox up and running. Although the series is aimed primarily at preschoolers, the dynamic movement of its visual and textual codes makes kufli books multi-layered and offer a variety of reception games.vá.

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.
