The thesis proposes a comparative textual research on Hungarian and Romanian cinema by setting up a model that informs the implicit cinematic reflection on socialism in film. By establishing two aesthetic categories – horizontal and vertical enclosure –, the thesis argues that the spatial structure of the narratives reveals and alludes to the oppressive policy of the Hungarian and Romanian socialist regimes. The first part of the research scrutinises the space in Romanian cinema, and investigates the birth of the vertical enclosure. The analysis focuses on the spatial representation of Bucharest, that is the claustrophobic illustration of the urban landscape and its space depicted by the tools of notorious surveillance on screen. As argued in the thesis, the architectural forms and their film representations build up a spatial constellation identical to Bentham’s Panopticon discussed by Michel Foucault. The second part of the investigation concentrates on Hungarian cinema and the evolution of horizontal enclosure in film. Through textual analysis of the selected films that are set on the Great Hungarian Plain, the thesis discusses the allegorical use of space during and after socialism. Therefore, while concentrating on the circularity of the location and the mise-en-scène of the films – that refer to the isolation and indefiniteness of space – the author argues that the directors recall the parabolic language of the cinematic corpus of the socialist epoch. As concluded by the work, the contemporary art cinema of Romania and Hungary both reference socialism by using space as the main device for the implicit textual reflections. In this way, horizontal and vertical enclosure also emphasise the revival of the forms of the socialist aesthetics.

Early onset depression is associated with high recurrence rates later in life. Recurrent depressive episodes during childhood may be particularly problematic, if additional episodes have a scarring effect that hinders healthy development. Distinguishing between first onsets and recurrences has been useful in understanding adult depression. This distinction has seldom been examined in pediatric depression, in part because it is difficult to enroll adequate samples of children with recurrent depression. We conducted archival analyses of carefully-diagnosed pediatric probands with depression first onset between ages of 4 and 12. Probands who reported one depressive episode (N = 435) were compared with probands who reported two depression episodes (N = 115) on clinical (treatment, comorbidities), psychosocial (negative life events (NLEs), parental psychopathology) and emotion regulation measures. Based on previous findings in older adolescents and adults, we hypothesized that probands with two MDEs will have higher comorbidity, parental psychopathology, more NLEs, and higher maladaptive emotion regulation scale scores than probands with one MDE. Surprisingly, probands with one and two MDEs were indistinguishable on psychological and pharmacological treatment variables. As expected, probands with two MDEs had lower age of first onset, higher maladaptive emotion regulation scores, higher rates of comorbid anxiety and reported more NLEs than probands with one MDE. Probands with two MDEs also spent a longer total time in episode; group differences remained after controlling for time spent depressed. Distinguishing between first onsets and recurrences is meaningful in pediatric depression.

Nonfiction, Documentary, and Family Narrative:
 An Intersection of Representational Discourses and Creative Practices explores the role of personal memory, family history, and inter-generational storytelling as the basis for making a nonfiction film. The film, American Boy, tells the story of my mother’s immigration to the United States after the failed Hungarian Revolution of 1956, opening a discussion of four generations of my family life in the context of historical events, exile, self re-invention, and identity formation. As a media producer and nonfiction author, I narrate my understanding of these events to my infant son, as a way of communicating my grandfather’s role in the revolution, my mother’s childhood, and my own mediation of my family’s trauma. Through the use of archival footage including newsreels and commercials, as well as my own archive of family photos and documents, I re-construct the existing materials to build my own associations concerning time, memory, and place. The film, as my creative practice, leads to a theoretical analysis of representational discourses which inform the work. This deconstruction of nonfiction and meta-analysis includes my study of several practitioners in the craft of non-fiction: Kati Marton, Robert Root, Primo Levi, Eva Hoffman, Patricia Hampl, Dinty W. Moore, Peter Balakian and others.

Cette thèse se focalise sur le groupe artistique international Abstraction-Création, créé pour servir de forum à l’art non figuratif à Paris entre 1931-1936. Au fil des années, il a eu une centaine de membres, y compris certains artistes hongrois, notamment Étienne Béothy, Alfred Reth, Lajos Tihanyi et Ferenc Martyn, tandis que László Moholy-Nagy était membre sans vivre à Paris. Ce n’est que dans les années 1970 que les premières recherches approfondies ont été menées sur Abstraction-Création. Depuis, l’activité d’Abstraction-Création n’a été que rarement étudiée, sa structure, ses objectifs ou son histoire ont été largement négligés. Le constat est le même pour l’état de la recherche relative à chacun des membres hongrois : jusqu’à présent, seule la participation de Béothy et de Martyn a été analysée en détail. Outre l’objectif principal de cette thèse, notamment la mise en perspective des artistes hongrois dans le groupe, la réévaluation et l’interprétation de l’ensemble de l’activité d’Abstraction-Création sont également mises en lumière. A la base d’une analyse théorique et historique, ce travail compare Abstraction-Création avec deux groupes parisiens non figuratifs. Cette thèse vise à clarifier les différences qui les séparent en soulignant qu’Abstraction-Création ne peut pas être considéré comme une combinaison des deux. Grâce à des documents jusqu’alors non analysés, l'auteur donne un aperçu de la structure organisationnelle de ce forum et discute, à partir d’une perspective entièrement nouvelle, le rôle du comité, leurs débats, leur formation, cessation et leurs plateformes, y compris les réunions, la galerie et le cahier. La thèse démontre la relation entre Abstraction-Création et Surréalisme au moyen d'une analyse stylistique et théorique. Elle prétend que, grâce aux activités des membres hongrois, toutes les facettes du groupe peuvent être présentées. L'auteur révèle quels ont été les objectifs initiaux de l'adhésion des membres hongrois et comment ils ont tiré profit de leur participation. La thèse décrit la période abstraite parisienne des artistes hongrois dans les années 1930, et ce, dans un contexte artistique international et dans un contexte historique plus large
This dissertation focuses on the international artistic group, called Abstraction-Création (1931-1936. Out of the approximately 100 members joining the association a few were Hungarian artists, namely Étienne Béothy, Alfred Reth, Lajos Tihanyi and Ferenc Martyn, whereas László Moholy-Nagy received an external membership. A deeper research into the Parisian non-figurative formations of the 1930s, including Abstraction-Création, only took shape in the 1970s. Since then, Abstraction-Création has been discussed only occasionally, and a deeper discussion concerning the structure, the goals, or the history of the group is still missing. The same applies to the research on individual Hungarian artists; while for each of them the participation in the forum was presented as an important stage of their lives, so far only the participation of Béothy and Martyn has been examined in detail. Beyond the basic goal of the study to concentrate on Hungarian artists in the group, the re-evaluation and a new examination of Abstraction-Création are also placed in the focus. Based on a theoretical and historical analysis, the study compares Abstraction-Création with two non-figurative Parisian groups, clarifying the differences between them and pointing out that Abstraction-Création could not be viewed as a combination of the two of them. Drawing on hitherto unanalyzed documents, the author gives an overview of the organizational structure of the forum, and discusses, from an entirely new perspective, the role of the committee, their debates, their formation and cessation and their platforms, including their meetings, gallery and journal. The dissertation demonstrates the relation between Abstraction-Création and Surrealism by means of a stylistic and theoretical analysis. It claims that through the activities of the Hungarian members, all the facets of the group can be shown, particularly because of the fact that they did not form a special group within the association, but had their different individual roles and routes. The author presents what the original aims behind the admission of the Hungarian members were and how they benefited from the participation. The dissertation depicts the Parisian abstract period of Hungarian artists in the 1930s in an international artistic context and against a broader historical background

This paper was an exploration of second generation Hungarian American identity development seeking to augment the understanding we have regarding second generation immigration, and particularly that of the children of those Hungarians who left during the communist occupation or shortly after the fall of the Iron Curtain. The research methodology used was a qualitative inquiry of semi-structured narrative interviews with an art-making component, from which emergent themes were identified. The five emergent overarching themes found were: The unique experience of being Second- Generation to immigrant parents, Hungarian American Identity, Misperceptions connected to being part of a white minority group, A closed system serves as a protective factor, and Art as a facilitator for expression and meaning making. These themes are examined against existent literature pertaining to the experience of second-generation Hungarian Americans, and discussed within the context of clinical applications and possible future research.

Miklós Rózsa claimed to keep a "double life": composer of concert music versus composer of films soundtrack. In this paper, we sought to answer questions such as: would have the composer really a "double life" articulated this way? His work would have a consistent poetic of music, common to both genres to which the composer had dedicated himself? It is known that Rózsa had the Hungarian folk music as basis for his music. To better understand them was made a profound bibliographic research on the subject, in which several articles of Hungarian musicologists were used in order to give more consistency to it. With the aim of to see if Rózsa maintained the same musical poetic in both genres, were realized several comparative analyzes of the composer's works, both in his movies soundtracks as in his concert music, to cover all productive periods of the composer (opus 1-1927 to opus 45- 1989), period which he also worked in several companies and composed for various filmic genres (drama, fantasy, comedy, noir, thriller, epic, among others). Prior to the preparation of this work, there was the assumption that the composer would have a consistent musical poetics in the two musical genres to which he was dedicated. Thus, another question would arise: Did Rózsa innovate the Hollywood filmic music or did he adapt himself to it? To answer this question, it was necessary also to investigate the characteristics of the soundtracks of Hollywood movies before the arrival of the Hungarian composer to the Californian district.
Miklós Rózsa afirmava possuir uma “vida dupla”: compositor de música de concerto versus compositor de trilha sonora de filmes. No presente trabalho, buscamos responder a questões como: teria mesmo o compositor uma “vida dupla” articulada dessa maneira? Sua obra teria uma consistente poética musical, comum a ambos os gêneros aos quais o compositor se dedicara? Sabe-se que Rózsa tinha a música folclórica húngara como base para as suas músicas. Para melhor compreendê-las foi feita uma profunda pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o assunto, na qual foram utilizados diversos artigos de musicólogos húngaros, a fim de dar mais consistência à pesquisa. Com o intuito de comprovar se Rózsa mantinha a mesma poética musical em ambos os gêneros, foram realizadas diversas análises comparativas de obras do compositor, tanto de suas trilhas sonoras para filmes quanto de suas músicas de concerto, de modo a cobrir todos os períodos produtivos do compositor (do Opus 1 - 1927 ao Opus 45 - 1989), período em que trabalhou também em diversas produtoras e compôs para diversos gêneros fílmicos (drama, fantasia, comédia, noir, suspense, épicos, entre outros). Antes da elaboração do presente trabalho, havia a hipótese de que o compositor teria, sim, uma poética musical consistente nos dois gêneros musicais aos quais se dedicou. Sendo assim, surgiria outra questão: Rózsa inovou a música fílmica hollywoodiana ou adaptou-se a ela? Para responder a esta pergunta, foi necessário também investigar as características das trilhas sonoras dos filmes de Hollywood antes da chegada do compositor húngaro ao distrito californiano.

La présente thèse a pour sujet les cinq premiers opéras du compositeur hongrois Peter Eötvös : Trois Sœurs, Le Balcon, Angels in America, Lady Sarashina et Love and Other Demons, opéras créés entre 1998 et 2008. À travers le filtre de la réflexion menée par Michel Foucault dans son ouvrage L’archéologie du savoir, il est question de déterminer dans quelle(s) mesures(s) les cinq opéras, envisagés dans leur rareté comme cinq entités singulières, viennent pourtant constituer une seule et même série. La réponse à cette problématique s’articule autour de trois parties. La première s’attache à la rencontre du compositeur avec des sources littéraires, rencontre qui oriente l’élaboration des livrets et qui motive le travail sur les langues russe, française et anglaise. La deuxième partie est consacrée à la caractérisation musicale/opératique des personnages, au traitement de la narration au sein des cinq opéras et au rôle de l’interprète, rôle intimement lié à la destinée des ouvrages lyriques. Enfin, la troisième partie se propose de présenter les cinq mondes des cinq opéras en tant que glissements de l’un à l’autre, en tant qu’héritages d’un passé musical recontextualisé et en tant que révolutions intimes et collectives obéissant à une unique visée, ou plutôt à un unique devoir : celui de la mémoire comme passeuse de vie
This thesis is about the Hungarian composer Peter Eötvös’ first five operas: Trois Sœurs, Le Balcon, Angels in America, Lady Sarashina and Love and Other Demons, which were created between 1998 and 2008. Through the filter of Michel Foucault’s thinking developed in his work L’archéologie du savoir, the issue consists in determining to what extent(s) the five operas, considered in their rarity as five singular entities, form however one and the same series. The answer to this issue is in three parts. The first part applies to the composer coming across literary sources, which directs the librettos’ elaboration and motivates the work on Russian, French and English languages. The second part is devoted to the musical/operatic characterisation of the characters, to the narrative treatment within the five operas and the interpreter’s part, which is closely connected to lyrical works’ destiny. Finally, the third part intends to present the five worlds of the five operas as they slip from one into the other, as heritages of a recontextualized musical past, and as intimate and collective revolutions obeying one single aim, or more precisely one single duty: the one memory has to hand down life

A la charnière des XIXe et XXe siècles, Berta Zuckerkandl (1864-1945), salonnière et journaliste autrichienne, participa activement à établir des échanges artistiques, culturels et politiques entre la France et l'Empire austro-hongrois. Alors que ses liens familiaux avec Georges Clemenceau lui permirent d'entrer en contact avec les artistes et intellectuels parisiens qu'il fréquentait - Rodin, Carrière, Raffelli, Geffroy..., son salon rassemblait à Vienne quelques-uns des acteurs emblématiques de la Wiener Moderne - Bahr, Klimt, Wagner, Mahler...-, formant le noyau d'un vaste réseau social européen. Porte-parole de la Sécession viennoise, Zuckerkandl s'imposa également comme l'une des critiques d'art les plus productives de son temps, guidant les artistes et initiant le public à l'art moderne, en s'appuyant sur les initiatives françaises pour orienter le développement de l'art. Cette étude vise ainsi à mettre en lumière son rôle dans la dynamique des échanges artistiques entre Vienne et Paris. Elle apporte d'abord des éléments biographiques éclairant la place privilégiée de Zuckerkandl à la rencontre des cultures française et autrichienne. Elle montre ensuite son implication au sein des cercles artistiques autrichiens et offre une analyse détaillée d'un corpus d'écrits sur l'art moderne. Elle expose enfin les résultats de ses interventions en faveur de la promotion des artistes français et de la réception de leurs oeuvres en Autriche, mettant en lumière les objectifs artistiques, culturels et politiques poursuivis par Zuckerkandl, décidé à préserver la culture autrichienne à l'épreuve de la guerre et de la chute de l'Empire austro-hongrois
At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, Berta Zuckerkandl (1864-1945), Austrian salonnière and journalist, engaged actively in artistic, cultural and political exchanges between France and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Being on familiar terms with Georges Clemenceau gave her the opportunity to exchange ideas with artists and intellectuals in Paris, including Rodin, Carriere, Raffaelli, and Geffroy. Her salon in Vienna gathered some of the most pioneering personalities of the Wiener Moderne...- Bahr, Klimt, Wagner, Mahler...- and thus formed the centre of a vast social network within Europe. Being a spokeswoman of the Vienna Secession, Zuckerkandl established herself as one of the most active contemporary art critics. She guided artists and introduced the public into modern art by drawing on French initiatives to influence the art's development. The present study thus aims at highlighting her role in the dynamic artistic exchange between Vienna and Paris. It will first present Zuckerkandl's biography in order to draw attention to her privileged position in the exchange of the French and Austrian cultures. Secondly, it will show her impact on artistic Austrian groups and provide a detailed analysis of a corpus of selected documents dealing with modern art. It will finally discuss her interventions in favour of French artists and the reception of their works in Austria by highlighting the artistic, cultural and political aims pursued by Zuckerkandl, who was determined to preserve the Austrian culture despite the war and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire

This thesis examines the varying responses by different sections of the Australian community to the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. The hypothesis of this work argues is that the different responses were predictable, given the backdrop of Cold War thinking of the time, community attitudes, and the political mix in Australia in 1956. The responses accurately reflected Australian social, political and religious attitudes in the 1950s.

The goal of this study is to describe the way Austria-Hungary followed to create and develop a modern navy in 1897-1914, and to determine, which factors were decisive in creating the final composition of the fleet. As the base for the research, a number of works related to the subject were studied, but far more important was detailed research of primary sources located in Austrian State Archives. The main line of the research as well as of this study follows negotiations on navy's budgets because of the assumption that the very base for building ships and developing the navy are financial resources. Among the more important subtopics are the way the navy had to award producers form both state, Austria and Hungary, with adequate portion of contracts, the Austro-Italian naval arms race, and the structure of the Austro- Hungarian fleet. The research revealed, that the ideal fleet as imagined by the commanders of the navy was a product of theories concerning a decisive battle and naval supremacy then widely widespread, and of the rivalry with Italy. However, the extent to which the ideal could have been followed, depended on the economic situation of both states; in the process of discussing and voting navy's budgets, the decisive word belonged to governments, not to delegations. The way the navy had...
