SURVIVAL AND BOUNDARIES OF STEREOTYPES OF THE MONARCHY-LITERATURE IN THE SHORT STORIES OF ATTILA BALÁZS, NÁNDOR GION AND SÁNDOR MAJOROS

Abstract

The following study is one of the chapters of the doctoral thesis entitled Continuing writing the stereotypes of the Monarchy-literature and interculturalismin the contemporary Hungarian short story literature in Vojvodina. The study seeks the answer to the question of how the stereotypes of the Monarchy-literature are written and survive in the contemporary Hungarian short stories in Vojvodina. In the short stories various motives can be found that act as a stereotype. As such is the homeland, military, army, language and the railroad. The railroad, the army and the homeland appear in the short stories of all the three authors.The historical, retrospective narration is frequently extended by tale elements. It is necessary to treat the next concepts coherent: tale, fairy-tale, history, storytelling, narration.I consider important to examine together the sites and stories of the migrant authors’ short stories full of nostalgia. The micro stories I have examined represent a mosaic of the history. The study is in search of these contexts and also compares them.
