- ItemOpen AccessAn Interdisciplinary Approach to Discourse-Pragmatic Variation in English(Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem, 2021) Furkó Bálint Péter; Anglisztika Intézet; Angol Nyelvészeti Tanszék; KRE - Bölcsészet- és Társadalomtudományi KarThe aim of this book is to introduce readers to a variety of approaches to lexical, morpho-syntactic and discourse-pragmatic variation in English and some of the research methods used in the various disciplines. The book presupposes a sound knowledge of linguistics but no specific knowledge of discourse analysis, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, etc. per se. The subject has been of vital importance to the teaching of English as a Second Language and throughout the book emphasis will be made on the relevance of variation analysis to teaching and learning English. The ultimate goal is to develop an awareness of how to select teaching materials that are authentic and natural and to distinguish them from what is artificial or goes counter to the way naturally-occurring language is used and structured.

- ItemOpen AccessPoetic Rituality in Theater and Literature(L'Harmattan Publishing, 2020) Művészettudományi és Művészetpedagógiai Tanszék; Művészettudományi és Szabadbölcsészeti Intézet; Domokos Johanna; Sepsi Enikő; KRE – Bölcsészet- és Társadalomtudományi KarToward the end of the twentieth century, in art as well as ritual studies, cultural turns contributed to elaborating a broad definition of ritual and rituality. Rituality is now generally regarded as one of the master keys to understanding not only cultures in general but also arts in particular. Poetic rituality sheds light on the liminal characteristics of the art form and references to ritual practices, ritual forms and structures that are set in motion in a way that allows special aesthetic characteristics and semantic aspects to arise. The contributors to the volume - theater and literary studies scholars as well as students from Yale, Bielefeld, Károli University, and the Grotowski Institute - had the opportunity to share their related works in the course of several recent international academic events. Since our team also included dramatists, dramaturgs, and directors of theater, our workshops offered frames for sharing insights into artistic laboratories, especially in the barrack-dramaturgy of András Visky and the work led by Jarosław Fret at the Grotowski Theater. Complementing the many different approaches to poetic rituality, all of the workshop presentations and studies brought together in the present volume continue to demonstrate how fundamentally rituality can contribute to the formal, semantic, pragmatic, and structural unfolding of literary and theatrical art works. Besides continuous theoretical reflections, a vast array of examples is given, ranging from Greek, Japanese, English, and Hungarian to German, Russian, French, and Sámi drama, performance, and theater productions, as the studies in the present volume also illustrate.
- ItemOpen AccessInitiation into the mysteries. A collection of studies in religion, philosophy and the arts(Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem, 2020) Vassányi Miklós; Művészettudományi és Szabadbölcsészeti Intézet; Szabadbölcsészet Tanszék; KRE – Bölcsészet- és Társadalomtudományi KarThe present volume offers an interdisciplinary collection of twenty-four studies to readers interested in the religious, philosophical and artistic aspects of initiation. In itself, the concept of initiation presupposes that there is an initiator, someone to be initiated, and a secret rite or knowledge – in short, a mystery – into which the elect few would be admitted and which must not be revealed to the rest. Initiation is thus very personal, as it encompasses – in Christian theology at least – an encounter with God but also involves a communal experience. While in a European context, initiation is an essentially Christian idea, not all the papers of the present volume turn to the Christian tradition for sources. Hermetism, Neoplatonism, pre-Christian paganism and Renaissance esotericism also find a place among the studies published here. Religion and philosophy are not the only viewpoints adopted by our authors, however; the section on art and literature discusses initiation as it appears on stage, in novels, short stories, and drama as well as poetry, especially in modern European literature.
