Traditional village music and dance in urban milieu : Consequences and aesthetic aspects

Richter, Pál (author)

The Hungarian revival movement, táncház [dance house], transported rural traditional music and dance into urban milieu more than fifty years ago. A thorough comparative survey of aesthetical factors concerning content, performing style and circumstances of existence enables to determine whether cultures governed through oral and communal tradition can survive long term in a foreign environment.

Abstract

Madžarsko preporodno gibanje, táncház [plesna hiša], je pred več kot petdesetimi leti preneslo tradicionalno glasbo in ples s podeželja v urbano okolje. S pomočjo temeljite primerjalne raziskave estetskih dejavnikov, ki zadevajo vsebino, izvedbeni slog in okoliščine obstoja, je mogoče ugotoviti, ali lahko kulture, ki jih oblikujeta ustna in skupnostna tradicija, dolgoročno preživijo v tujem okolju.
