The relationship between the Germans and Hungarians reviewed through the Hungarian fiction and periodicals in Vojvodina between two wars

Predmet rada je viđenje vojvođanskih Nemaca u književnim tekstovima vojvođanskih Mađara u međuratnom periodu. Naša razmatranja usmerena su na nacionalno relevantne slike Nemaca u kulturi Mađara u Vojvodini. Odraz kulturnog života susrećemo u raznim semantičnim poljima i vidovima manjinske kulture, konkretno u mađarskoj periodici i u mađarskoj književnosti. Cilj rada je prikaz odnosa između dveju manjinskih naroda u međuratnom periodu sa posebnim naglaskom na književnost i kulturu. Međuratni period je posebno interesantan, jer su Mađari postali manjinski narod, tada su počeli oblikovati svoj manjinski identitet, svoju kulturu i književnost i nastojali da se zbliže sa ostalim manjinama, tako i sa Nemcima. U novoj političkoj situaciji Mađarima se nemačka manjina učinila kao prirodni saveznik u načinu traženja puteva, ostvarivanja novih ciljeva, posebno u pogledu stvaranja kontakata. U uvodnom delu rada posvećujemo prostor naseljavanju Nemaca i Mađara na tlo Vojvodine. Predstavljamo izvore, istoriografske teme na području manjinske politike s obzirom na čestu prisutnost i isperpletenost narative i historiografije u književnim delima – predmetu istraživanja. Skoncentrisaćemo se na literarne časopise Vojvođanski Napis (Vajdasági Írás) i Kalanđa ([Krstina], Kalangya), kao i na romane vojvođanskih piasaca: Ferenc Herceg (Herczeg Ferenc, 1863-1954), Karolj Molter (Molter Károly, 1890-1981), Nandor Gion (Gion Nándor, 1941-2002), Imre Čepe (Csépe Imre, 1914-1972) i Janoš Herceg (Herceg János, 1909-1995). Mada su neka njihova dela nastala posle Drugog svetskog rata, u njima je prikazan međuratni svet...The topic of this study are the Germans in Vojvodina, reviewed from the perspective of the Hungarians in Vojvodina, between two Wars. Our review is focused on the German national image to the Hungarian culture in Vojvodina. A reflection of cultural life is presented by various semantic values and aspects of the minority cultures, especially in the Hungarian periodicals and the Hungarian literature. The aim is to show the relationship between the two minorities between two Wars, with a special emphasis on literature and culture. The period between two Wars is particularly interesting; due to the fact that the Hungarians became a minority and at a time they started shaping their minority identity, their culture and literature; they endeavored to bring them together with other minorities, as well as with the Germans. In the new political situation, they seemed as natural allies, finding the best ways to achieve new goals and especially to create contacts. The first part of this study is dedicated to colonization of the Germans and Hungarians on the territory of Vojvodina. The sources are introduced as historiographical topics in the field of minority policy, regarding to their frequent presence in the narratives and interference of historiography in the literary works – which are the subjects of our research. The focus is on the literary magazines ”Vajdasági Irás” and “Kalangya”, and also on the work of the novelists from Vojvodina such as Ferenc Herczeg (1863-1954), Károly Molter (1890-1981), Gion Nándor (1941-2002), Csépe Imre (1914-1972) and Herceg János (1909-1995). Although some of the works were created after the World War II, they displayed the world between the two Wars..
