Recent literature on Hungary seems to be conclusive about the fact that elite consensus has collapsed and democracy is backsliding towards autocracy because of the elites’ norm-breaking behavior (Lengyel 2014; Bozoki 2015; Kristof 2015). It is also recognized that the governmental elite has been gaining influence and power over other elite groups. Since 2010, the ruling political elite has reallocated property rights, public and EU funds to new loyal economic elites who are much more closely controlled by the political elite (Csillag and Szelenyi 2015). Though less the focus of scientific inquiry, a similar process has occurred in the field of culture: the incumbent political elite aspires to eliminate old cultural structures in order to redistribute cultural positions and resources. This case study is based on interviews with leaders of theatres, cultural policy-makers and the most renowned actors and directors in the Hungarian theatrical field. Interviews are supplemented with discourse analysis about the circulation of the theatre elite, and a public opinion poll (N=500) about the reputation of two emblematic figures of the old and the new elite.

匈牙利文化精英中的精英流通。剧院案例研究

最近关于匈牙利的文献似乎对精英共识已经瓦解，民主正在倒退到专制的事实，因为精英的破坏规范行为（Lengyel 2014；Bozoki 2015；Kristof 2015）这一事实是确凿的。人们还认识到，政府精英已经获得了对其他精英群体的影响力和权力。自 2010 年以来，执政的政治精英已将财产权、公共资金和欧盟资金重新分配给受政治精英更密切控制的新的忠诚经济精英（Csillag 和 Szelenyi，2015 年）。尽管不是科学探究的重点，但在文化领域也发生了类似的过程：现任政治精英渴望消除旧的文化结构，以重新分配文化地位和资源。本案例研究基于对剧院领导的采访，文化政策制定者以及匈牙利戏剧领域最著名的演员和导演。访谈辅以关于戏剧精英流通的话语分析，以及关于新老精英两个标志性人物声誉的民意调查（N=500）。
