Maakt Nederland tegenwoordig een herhaling van de Gouden Eeuw mee?
153-161Views:62De tegenwoordige tijd lijkt voor veel mensen binnen en buiten Nederland als een soort herhaling (of heropleving) van de Gouden Eeuw waargenomen te worden. Dat blijkt uit een versterkte belangstelling voor de vaderlandse geschiedenis en met name voor de zeventiende eeuw. De bloeiperiode van Nederland wordt in deze optiek gezien als de bakermat van alle waarden die ook aan de grondslag liggen van het poldermodel. Religieuze tolerantie, gedoogbeleid en multiculturele samenleving lijken op die manier uitingen van eenzelfde gedachte te zijn. Ook op internationaal vlak valt er een parallellie op met de Gouden Eeuw: het gaat/ ging economisch goed met Nederland en er is/was – zeker mede als gevolg daarvan – wereldwijd een grote belangstelling voor Nederlandse cultuur en ook literatuur.

Die Geschichte, wie sie in Holland geschrieben worden war…: Die ungarische Rezeption der niederländischen Geschichtsideen im 17. Jahrhundert* - Dem Andenken von Willem Teellinck gewidmet
161-184Views:128The ideas on history in Protestant Holland in 17-century had much more impact on ideology of Hungarian Peregrinants, than it was considered to be before, not only in ecclesiastical, but in secural area of research history also. It had to be emphasied that there was a turn at the beginning of the 17th century: beside the Barokk, the dominant art and cultural historcal viewpoint came up a general spiritual reform that had several label, and lived without determining its confession. There were in protestant (e.g. Nadere reformatie, Puritanism, Pietism, Herrnhutianism, Methodism) and in catholical denominations (e.g. Jansenism), but also in Jewish religion (e.g. hasidical misticism). In parallel with that phenomenon had changed theories on history. The Hungarian undergraduates had from 1622 in Franeker and in the other Universities in Holland studied, and perceived the alteration of world view. In that paper my scope was investigating the circumstances of that changing, and demonstrating the difficulty of the research.

Gedenktafeln für die Galeerensklaven des Reformierten Kollegiums Sárospatak
173-197Views:6Sárospatak is a prominent academic town in eastern Hungary, where three memorial
plaques were unveiled between 1936 and 1939 in memory of the galley slaves. The college
itself is a place of remembrance, representing 500 years of Protestant culture. There are
memorial plaques here to the school’s patrons, former teachers, scholars, and the many
traumas of the 20th century (World War I and II, Trianon, the Gulag camps). It is therefore
surprising that, among the eight other memorial plaques located at the entrance, three
plaques commemorate the galley slaves. The study explores the context of their creation,
the idea, the application, and the unveiling, and interprets the phenomenon. The history of
galley slavery contains not only religious but also national elements of memory, and was
suitable for depicting the world of great cataclysms and tragedies in every age, as well as
for analogically showing the ways of escaping from them. -
Warum eben Holland? Zur Anwendbarkeit theoretischer Ansätze zeitgenössischer niederländischer Gesellschaftswissenschaftler bei der Interpretation des Romans Die Geschichte meiner Frau von Milán Füst
199-221Views:99The present study tries to re-read Milán Füst’s novel with the help of theories of three contemporary Dutch scholars. Mieke Bal’s academic bestseller, The Travelling Concepts helps us to recognize that static notions of masculinity as well as national and gender stereotypes, which are challenged by the novel, have always been changing dynamically. On the basis of Johan Goudsblom’s theories on the relationship between fire and civilization, on time regimes and on the mystery of the origin of the masculine power one can also prove that Füst’s novel keeps on playing with virtues believed to be masculine, such as the self-control and power over the women. And finally, the essays of the socio-psychologist Douwe Draaisma provide explanation for how the autobiographical memory of the narrator-protagonist determines the special narrative structure of the novel, why he is dwelling on superfluous details and why he leaves out years of his life story.

Die Erinnerungsgeschichte der Verfolgung ungarischer Galeerensklaven protestantischen Bekenntnisses im Deutschland des 18. Jahrhunderts
91-113Views:8In the long 18th century described as the period of “peaceful Re-Catholicization” or
“Catholic Restoration” in the writings about the ecclesiastical history of different
congregations, the Roman Catholic Church used every means to push Protestants into
the background and to render their lives impossible. As a result of intensified ReCatholicization, diverse means were employed to confront the communities and
individuals, from the occupation of churches or schools and collective punishments,
through the public humiliation and terrorization of individuals, to bloody torture and the
annihilation of their livelihood. The partly violent spreading of Catholicism resulted in
many controversial cases in the Carpathian Basin, which were reported on many
publications in Western Europe. The examination of the early printed books in the
Lutheran collection of books in Halle (Franckesche Stiftung) has brought numerous
relevant texts from a Hungarian perspective to the surface, which allow studying the
danger-fraught life circumstances of Protestants in the Carpathian Basin in the 18th
century through the eyes of an external observer. -
Die neueren Quellen von Persecutio Hungaricae
33-56Views:6The study focuses on the history and historiography of the Hungarian Galley Slaves. The
publication of their story by the Western European press made a huge impact on international Calvinism. In Hungary it went the opposite way, mainly for historical reasons. A
manuscript and its large amount of copies built a great legacy, thanks to the historical
research for the original documents (mentioned in texts by Bálint Kocsi Csergő and Ferenc
Otrokocsi Fóris) between the 17th and 20th century. Thus, the attitude of the Galley Slaves
indeed became a decisive image of Hungarian, reformed identity. -
H.C. Zentgraaff contra het echtpaar Székely-Lulofs: Wie was die man?
133-143Views:119In 1931 and 1932, Madelon Lulofs published her novels Rubber and Koelie; in 1935 Van oerwoud tot plantage appeared, a translation of the novel Őserdőktől az ültetvényekig by her spouse, László Székely, that came out in the same year. The novels give a realistic and revealing look into the harsh life on the plantations of Deli at the East Coast of Sumatra. Although the books were generally well received in the Netherlands and were considered by progressive critics to be accusations against the colonial administration, the Dutch East Indian press responded with indignation: the colony, as they concluded, was put in a bad light, which created a wrong impression amongst the general public abroad. Besides, equally importantly, these novels served as an evidence of colonial oppression for Indian nationalists, they argued. The Székely-Lulofs couple was heavily rebuked for it. The hate campaign against them was led by journalist H.C. Zentgraaff.
