The Politicised Sound and the Nation's Fury: How the Fidesz Government of Hungary has Expropriated the Music Industry

ims和研究项目本项目调查的影响，政治干预和控制的当代音乐产业在匈牙利青民盟政府。正如伊格纳蒂夫（MichaelIgnatieff）所说，工业和政府交织在一起，因为“这个政权在言辞上是激烈反共的，但在实践中却再现了旧政权的特征。”由于公共和私营企业和媒体的交织一直是党的不断获得的独裁地位本身的指标，本论文从事以下问题：-在什么方式有欧尔班政权影响的生产，性能和接受的流行音乐？音乐界与欧尔班政权的妥协在多大程度上以不可预见和不受欢迎的方式损害了他们的专业活动？-音乐是如何被用来操纵舆论的？匈牙利的情况告诉我们，在一个民粹主义和后真相政治时代，音乐的使用和滥用有什么更广泛的意义？这一学术调查有可能启动一个更广泛的对话，这是非常必要的，因为很明显，在我们当前的错误和虚假信息和政治不确定性的时代，对当代历史的学术评论变得比以往任何时候都更加重要。

ims and Research QuestionsThis project investigates the impact of political interference and control on the contemporary music industry inHungary under the Fidesz administration. The industry and the government have intertwined because, as MichaelIgnatieff puts it, 'the regime is violently anti-Communist in its rhetoric, but in its practice it reproduces features of theancien régime.'1 Because the intertwining of public and private enterprise and media has been an indicator of theparty's ever-gaining autocratic position itself, this dissertation engages with the following questions:- In what ways has the Orbán regime impacted on the production, performance and reception of popularmusic?- To what extent has the music industry's accommodation with Orbán's regime compromised their professionalactivity in unforeseen and undesirable ways?- How has music been used to manipulate public opinion?- What does the situation in Hungary tell us more broadly about the use and abuse of music in an era ofpopulist and post-truth politics?This academic investigation has the potential to start a wider conversation that is much needed, for it is evident thatin our current era of mis- and disinformation and political uncertainty, academic reviews on contemporary historyare becoming more crucial than ever.
