Nyugat’s centenary
Nyugat 1910
2008 marks the hundredth anniversary of the publication of
Nyugat (West, 1908-41), Hungary’s modern literary journal
par excellence. Together with the translation workshops, we will be organising a few activities to discuss Hungarian literature and culture at
Nyugat’s centenary, with a focus on the constructions, collocations, and location (geopolitical or otherwise) of ‘West’.
Celebratory and commemorative events are regular events in Hungary. A number of websites have been set up to document Nyugat and its centenary, among them the National Széchenyi Library’s 100 Years of Nyugat site, and the Petőfi Literary Museum’s Nyugat100 site.
