The post-socialist transformation of the Hungarian film industry is usually discussed in the context of state-run studios and state funding. These explanations focused on the role and importance of regulation and institutional aspects of change, highlighting the changes in the production system (the development of independent production companies) and the transition from direct state control and funding to public funding (the setup of a new institution, the Motion Picture Foundation of Hungary). The transformation, as in the case of other Eastern European film industries, is usually interpreted as a crisis and a major break. This article will nuance this mainstream interpretation of the transformation of the Hungarian film industry with the examination of features that connect the two eras (i.e. late socialist and early post-socialist periods). Instead of the linear logic of succession and transition, it will focus on the ambiguities of change and continuity, showing that although the changes were fundamental, many things connect late socialist years and early post- socialist period. The article claims that the transformation could not be described as a simple one-way shift from a centralized state-socialist system to the market-oriented film industry and the system of public funding. Considering the trends of marketization and 'proto- capitalization' of the late 1980s in the Hungarian film industry and the post-socialist survival of the state socialist studio system, the article will show the double-face of the transformation.

Ce livre est une autobiographie qui décrit la trajectoire d'une femme, née à Budapest en 1941 dans une famille de la bourgeoisie juive, d'un père professeur de médecine à l'hôpital juif de Budapest et d'une mère modiste. Cette famille sera sauvée de la Shoah par l'ambassadeur de Suède en Hongrie, Raoul Wallenberg, comme environ 20 000 juifs de Budapest. La vie de l'héroïne commence dans des conditions difficiles : enfant cachée, maltraitée dans une institution catholique. Après la guerre, c'est la plongée de la Hongrie dans le stalinisme : d'autres contraintes, d'autres difficultés. En octobre 1956, lors de la révolution, à l'âge de quinze ans, elle s'enfuit pour Londres. Après mai 68, ce sera le militantisme féministe, et l'engagement dans la psychanalyse. Elle devient alors spécialiste de l'adolescent et de la famille, avec des publications et des conférences reconnues. Un cheminement singulier, personnel et intellectuel, qui montre les liens entre les enjeux personnels d'une femme, ses combats et les bouleversements du monde à travers le XXe siècle. Une vie où le judaïsme est toujours présent

Aristotle examines the role of leisure (scholé) in the optimal life of the citizen (Politics VII/VIII). In the quest for the most desirable life- understood as the proper combination of political and contemplative elements- Aristotle ascribes an important role to leisure. Varga explores the two books in terms of the notion of scholé and shows the inadequacy of previous interpretations of Aristotle's proposed design for the commonwealth. Simon Varga, Vienna, Austria.
