Spanish bullfights have been organized twice in Hungary: in 1904 and 1924. Unlike in 1904, when the bullfights arrived in Budapest from Paris and were held with the city's urban tourism promotion interests in mind, the 1924 corrida was connected to the internationalization of Spanish bullfights through their support by fascist Italy, causing a domestic political imbroglio in Hungary due to competing political and business interests at home. At the same time, the bullfights represented another novelty in the field of transnational popular entertainment, whose different waves had continuously reached Budapest since the late nineteenth century. Focusing on the 1924 event, the article argues that the bullfights organized in Budapest that year need to be understood from the perspective of interactions between postwar European authoritarian cultural politics, the domestic political scene in Hungary, and Spanish attempts to turn the bullfights into a transnational spectacle rivaling the popularity of British football. Although the bullfights did not take root in Hungary, their organization in Budapest represents an important chapter in the global advance of twentieth-century popular culture, a historically informed understanding of the formation of which requires consideration not just of successful but also failed processes of cultural transfer.

Bullfights Redux:商业,政治与1920年代跨国文化转移的失败布达佩斯

西班牙的斗牛在匈牙利组织了两次:1904年和1924年。与1904年的斗牛从巴黎到达布达佩斯并牢记城市的城市旅游促进利益而不同,1924年的走廊与西班牙斗牛的国际化息息相关。由于他们在法西斯主义意大利的支持下,由于国内的政治和商业利益竞争,在匈牙利引起了国内政治封锁。同时,斗牛代表了跨国流行娱乐领域的另一种新奇事物,自十九世纪末以来,其不同的浪潮不断涌入布达佩斯。专注于1924年的事件,文章认为,应从战后欧洲专制文化政治,匈牙利国内政治局势和西班牙试图将斗牛转变成可与英国人的头衔竞争的跨国盛会之间的相互作用的角度来理解当年在布达佩斯组织的斗牛足球。尽管斗牛运动并未在匈牙利扎根,但它们在布达佩斯的组织代表了二十世纪大众文化全球进步的重要篇章,对这种文化形成历史的了解需要不仅考虑成功的文化过程,而且也考虑失败的文化过程。转让。
