Abstract:

The aim of the study is to analyse the place of the concept of transculturalism in the Hungarian literary discourse. As a matter of fact Hungarian literary studies is one of the fields where transcultural studies are developing exceptionally fast, which is due to the polycentric character of Hungarian literature. The paper lists the most important Hungarian-language academic works that directly refer to transculturalism or that draw on transcultural methodological thinking, and interprets them in terms of how their authors define the concept of transculturalism. As the topic resonates mainly in interpretive communities operating beyond the borders of Hungary, it interprets the work of the so-called transcultural school in Nitra, as well as the work of authors from Vojvodina and Transylvania. The conclusions that can be drawn from the analysis suggest that the majority of Hungarian literary scholars use the concept of transculturalism interchangeably with the convergent, but not entirely synonymous, concept of transnationalism. This, in turn, suggests that transculturalism is still a new concept in Hungarian literary studies discourse, which is under-interpreted and rather intuitively defined.
