Abstract Györgyi Vajdovich’s article aims to describe the representation of female roles in Hungarian feature films of the period 1931 to 1944. The study is based on the analysis of the database that was created within the framework of the research project The Social History of Hungarian Cinema. Concentrating on the representation of female protagonists, this article first analyses the presence and prevalence of female figures in all Hungarian sound films (up until 2015). Then it narrows the scope of analysis to films produced between 1931 and 1944, and describes the typical professions and social and financial positions of female protagonists, as compared to those of male protagonists. The second half of the text examines the representation of female upward mobility in comedies – showing that according to the popular myths of the era, female upward mobility is principally realized through good marriage, with the narratives of the films rarely presenting the professional success of female protagonists and their possibilities of emancipation. Analysing the narrative patterns and gender roles in the films of the time, the text concludes that the narratives of female ascension, which mostly took form in comedies, reflected the desire of middle-class people to transgress the social and financial boundaries in society. As such, the films served to maintain and strengthen the patriarchal order of the era.

1931 年至 1944 年间匈牙利电影中的女性表现和女性流动性

摘要 Györgyi Vajdovich 的文章旨在描述 1931 年至 1944 年期间匈牙利故事片中女性角色的表现。该研究基于对在研究项目“匈牙利电影社会史”框架内创建的数据库的分析。本文围绕女性主角的表现,首先分析了匈牙利所有有声电影(截至 2015 年)中女性形象的存在和流行程度。然后将分析范围缩小到 1931 年至 1944 年间制作的电影,并描述了女性主角与男性主角相比的典型职业以及社会和经济地位。正文后半部分考察了女性向上流动在喜剧中的表现——表明根据那个时代的流行神话,女性向上流动主要是通过良好的婚姻来实现的,电影的叙事很少呈现女性的职业成功。主角及其解放的可能性。分析当时电影中的叙事模式和性别角色,本文得出的结论是,以喜剧形式为主的女性提升叙事反映了中产阶级跨越社会和经济界限的愿望。因此,这些电影有助于维护和加强那个时代的父权秩序。电影的叙事很少展示女性主角的职业成功及其解放的可能性。分析当时电影中的叙事模式和性别角色,本文得出的结论是,以喜剧形式为主的女性提升叙事反映了中产阶级跨越社会和经济界限的愿望。因此,这些电影有助于维护和加强那个时代的父权秩序。电影的叙事很少展示女性主角的职业成功及其解放的可能性。分析当时电影中的叙事模式和性别角色,本文得出的结论是,以喜剧形式为主的女性提升叙事反映了中产阶级跨越社会和经济界限的愿望。因此,这些电影有助于维护和加强那个时代的父权秩序。反映了中产阶级跨越社会和金融界限的愿望。因此,这些电影有助于维护和加强那个时代的父权秩序。反映了中产阶级跨越社会和金融界限的愿望。因此,这些电影有助于维护和加强那个时代的父权秩序。
