HUNGARIAN LIFE AND CULTURE WORLD-WIDE<br />

In this column the reader will find three writings on the cultural life of different Hungarian communities in the world. These are the<br />

following:<br />

• Zsuzsánna Haynalné Kesserű: South-America Calling. Presentation given at the 48 th Study Week conference entitled<br />

HUNGARIAN CULTURE II. — CENTERS OF HUNGARIAN CULTURE WORLD-WIDE — Three Poles: Hungary, Territories<br />

in the Carpathian Basin outside Hungary, West — organized by the <strong>Hollandiai</strong> <strong>Mikes</strong> Kelemen Kör [Association for Hungarian<br />

Art, Literature and Science in the Netherlands] and <strong>Mikes</strong> <strong>International</strong> between 27-30 September 2007 in Elspeet, the<br />

Netherlands. In this presentation the author provided a complete overview of the conception of the three main Hungarian<br />

Diasporas in South-America and their present status.<br />

• Borbála Obrusánszky: The Professor from Kolozsvár Gets a Statue. In this brief note Ms. Obrusánszky highlights the main<br />

achievements of the world-famous orientalist and linguist Gábor Szentkatolnai Bálint. He mastered some 30 languages. Due to<br />

the ideological nature of the discussion about the origin of the Hungarian language in the last decennia of the 19 th century in<br />

Hungary, he was pretty much sidelined, and as such he went into ‘self-emigration’, teaching for many years abroad. Nowadays<br />

his œuvre is in the process of rediscovery. According to the plans a statue will be unveiled next year on March 13 (his birthday)<br />

at Szentkatolna, his birthplace in Transylvania.<br />

• Éva Pillerné Tircka: Hungarian Colony in Brazil. In two issues of the Hungarian News of Argentina (Argentínai <strong>Magyar</strong><br />

Hírlap) the author provides a colorful account of the highlights of the cultural life of the Hungarian colony in Brazil in 2007.<br />
